Yah, sorry (pronouns!). I was referring to Mark's work being criticised. I've got his 'We Need To Talk About Putin,' here and various articles- I'll give them a go. Thanks.
An initial response to the Zeihan pieces I have is there are models of successful US Democratic Party entrenchment in places like my State of Massachusetts but also other states like Hawaii and Joe Biden's Delaware. A particular feature of this model is in this places the GOP has been almost completely vanquished with the Democrats instead becoming an almost Japanese LDP style party or Italian style late 20th century Christian Democrat party. A party of the true center devoid of much ideology focused entirely on staying in power. In particular in Massachusetts a veneer of two party politics can be layered on by sometimes having very moderate Republican governors such as the current incumbent Charlie Baker who does little to threaten Democratic Party legislative majorities. In fact in the Bay State there is saying that Massachusetts doesn't practice "old school" politics instead it is "oldest school" referring to it being the oldest North American colony of Great Britain as the article below suggests.
So if you feel that the GOP must be completely vanquished and even a one party Japanese LDP style Democracy would be preferably well there are some models of that existing in the US some of which Joe Biden is quite familiar with. I will have to go into this in another comment but Biden choosing Boston Mayor Marty Walsh as a Labor Secretary is a rather intriguing pick given Walsh's past history of involvement with the ideological idiosyncratic Massachusetts Labour movement(centered heavily on the construction trades which Walsh was in charge of).
Are you kidding me? It's fabulous. I'd already read the Molly Mckew series (ate it up), just looking at all the others now. Once a week would be great. Thanks to all Cosmo Globalists.
Excellent idea; it’s always good to know what smart people are reading. With that said, looking at the list so far, the Cosmopolitan Globalists seem to hunger for any publication that confirms their preconceptions. How about taking a look at books and articles that challenge your world view that Trump and Putin make up one half of the four horsemen of the apocalypse? There’s too much on your list that promotes your own confirmation bias.
Also, I bet your loyal readers might have some good recommendations for reading and study. Perhaps on your new website, you could offer a vehicle for reader recommendations. It’s just a thought.
Wow, this is really awesome! But definitely just once a week, otherwise I'll just be more aware of how far behind I'm falling haha

An excellent idea. I’d like to see this roughly weekly.
The Cosmopolitan Globalist has become a trusted filter and amplifier in this world of static and interference. Please continue.
