George Friedman, CEO of the intelligence organization Stratford, provides a geopolitical analysis suggesting that the primary interest of the United States is preventing a strategic alliance between Germany and Russia. Friedman argues that the European Union is fragmented and that the U.S. maintains individual relationships with nations like Romania and France rather than a unified Europe. The discussion explores the historical "primordial fear" of combining German technology with Russian natural resources.
