• Todays Iran positions

  
  Vlad Tepes — Authority: 148
  Two stratfor SITREPS on various nations position concerning the Iranian nuclear weapons program. At least few if any governments are in denial about what it is at this point.

• Yemen: Saudi troops mass against likely Iranian attacker

  
  Vlad Tepes — Authority: 148
  To be clear, the insinuation of Iranian involvement is mine. It is my belief that the Iranians are fighting a proxy war with the KSA using the Shea population of Yemen.

• Stratfor: The U.S. Challenge in Afghanistan

  
  Fabius Maximus — Authority: 547
  This is a superlative job of myth-making.  Not just fictionalizing the past (the staple work of US geopol experts), but proactively creating a myth to explain future actions.  Nobody does this better than George Friedman.  For instance, the description of the 3 phases of American strategy in Iraq is priceless — ...
