Absolutely brilliant insights. True 3-dimensional analysis of complex geopolitical dynamics.

This essay got me to thinking about the Iran/Israel/United State/China dynamic in a way I hadn't thought of before. Excellent insights and analysis, well written and persuasive.

As much as I enjoy reading FoJ posts, I don't typically forward them to colleagues who are seeking in-depth geopolitical strategic analysis. Today, however, I will. Excellent analysis. Thank you. I actually learned something this morning.

Brilliant article. I haven't given the China element due consideration 🤔 thanks 🙏

Fantastic article. I understand your point about a war on two fronts being extremely difficult, however, I’m not sure that it’s impossible. If tiny Israel can fight a war on seven fronts because it has no choice, maybe you are underestimating America.

One can only hope that Trump or ANYBODY in American gov’t has the understanding of these brilliantly articulated insights.

If only the American people had the brains to understand this…..alas…a pipe dream.

Trump and his team absolutely get it and have been talking about it more. Trump, however, needs to explain this to the American people very clearly because the vast majority have very little understanding of the HUGE implications all this has and why we HAD to go to war (it’s not just about the Iranian protesters, or Iran’s terror network after all. It’s saving the world from a Chinese communist regime being the #1 power and Islamists and their ideology spreading with Chinese backing).

Fortunately Trump is the face, but not the brain, of US foreign and strategic policy.
