  • With the recent attack on Moscow, I received some requests to do a breakdown on the geopolitics of ISIS. First things first, there are two largely unaffiliated groups at play here - ISIS-Khorasan and the more widely known, ISIS.

    Hi Peter, if possible, it would be great to hear a video on the current situation within Myanmar - obviously this has been a situation that has been going on some time but a sitrep on the current state of play given the recent flare-ups in conflict would be welcome. Also, a sitrep on the current situation within Armenia would be welcome, it seems that there is a lot going on behind the scenes with US-EU diplomacy with Armenia and the distancing of the country away from RU and the CSTO. Thanks - keep up the good work!

    1:45 "the [habitable] zones [within the fertile crescent] that you can do something with are very skinny and very long...and difficult to patrol...preventing the establishment of large population centers" This never stopped the Egyptians. In Al Zawahiri's memoirs, he talked about how hard it was to run his insurgency in Egypt (The Egyptian Islamic Jihad, before his Al Qaeda days) because the geography of a narrow river valley in Egypt (much like Mesopotamia) favored strongmen rulers who only needed to secure a small geographical area to control the country. Why isn't it the same here? Wouldn't Iraq only need to control a small but around the Tigris & Euphrates to control the country?
