Richard Engel
“...if the United States never intended to help, it shouldn’t have built up the expectation. The false promise of help was cruel and inexcusable and it would only get worse over time. If a man is drowning and a boat drives past in the distance, the man accepts his death and goes down quietly. If a man is drowning and a boat pulls up beside him, dangles a life jacket, tells the world he wants to help, but then doesn’t throw the life jacket, the drowning man dies crying and his family might take a blood oath to take revenge on the boat’s crew. This type of anger was already starting to build in Syria and al-Qaeda would capitalize on it.”
Richard Engel, And Then All Hell Broke Loose: Two Decades in the Middle East

Ian Bremmer
“Russia, like all other countries not named China, faces an uphill battle to establish the degree of content dominance that an autocrat might want.”
Ian Bremmer, Us vs. Them: The Failure of Globalism

Tim  Marshall
“There are fifty American states, but they add up to one nation in a way the twenty-eight sovereign states of the European Union never can. Most of the EU states have a national identity far stronger, more defined, than any American state. It is easy to find a French person who is French first, European second, or one who pays little allegiance to the idea of Europe, but an American identifies with their Union in a way few Europeans do theirs. This is explained by the geography, and the history of the unification of the United States.”
Tim Marshall, Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Explain Everything About the World

Michel Foucault
“I'm no prophet. My job is making windows where there were once walls.”
Michel Foucault

Tim  Marshall
“Equally important, anyone stupid enough to contemplate invading America would soon reflect on the fact that it contains hundreds of millions of guns, which are available to a population that takes its life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness very seriously.”
Tim Marshall, Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Explain Everything About the World
