This is how I got into Caspian.
I think stringent objectivity is overrated anyhow. Id much rather read something biased and well researched than shallow and objective.

- pydry 4y agoDont feel like you have to rationalize your reaction.
- Fordec 4y agoWhich is why I doubt Caspian Report. Anytime he ventures into Western Europe it's either so high level it's basically meaningless (Brexit will change relationships with EU members? You don't say!) or just way off base. Eg. For UK-Newzealand to sign a trade deal, the US decides what happens because... it's geographically between them? I guess assuming the world is flat? I find the same with Peter Zeihan. In depth researched accurate data.. used to construct always wrong predictions. Eg. Alberta to secede from Canada and become the 51st state because oil pipeline infrastructure.

No, because it's the world's dominant naval power and NZ is completely dependent upon naval Pax Americana because container shipping. It's the same reason Australia sent troops to Vietnam despite not having any real desire to do so.
