The Economic ‘Storm’ Will Get Worse: Is the U.S. Headed for a Radical Reset?

“Europe is a crisis point, not the United States. The crisis point is that Europe has to come to terms with World War II,” says George Friedman, founder and chairman of Geopolitical Futures.
In a conversation with Daniela Cambone, he explains that the post–World War II global system, where the U.S. played the role of geopolitical and economic anchor, is now over. “It’s a very great system reset,” he explains.
"The financial community is obsessed with money, and that's quite understandable. But this nation is more than money, it's national security.”
He also shifts focus to Europe, warning that if the continent fails to reconcile with its past and current geopolitical role, it could become a flashpoint for future conflict.
“This is the place I’d watch for a war—Europe and Asia,” Friedman says, pointing to Europe’s long history of internal wars among nation-states.
