I used to read Stratfor, but in the 10 years following the Iraq War, I noticed some glaring blind spots and also a political agenda. I'm not sure I would trust them alone, but if you use them very skeptically for their background history summaries, they might have value. You can easily get lost in the weeds with something as detailed as Stratfor's reports though; sometimes you need to step back 10,000 ft to recalibrate.
