TRANSCRIPT AND AUDIO RECORDING
Christian Habla:
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening across the world, wherever you are. My name is Christian Habla, and welcome to this month’s Geopolitical Dispatch private roundtable for GD Pro subscribers.
As always, I have with me Michael and Damien — Michael Feller, our Chief Strategist, author and lead editor of Geopolitical Dispatch, and Damien Bruckard, co-founder of Geopolitical Strategy and contributor as well to Geopolitical Dispatch.
As we’ve done in the past, the first 30 minutes will be a guided interview between us. But throughout this, please feel free to start dropping your questions into the chat, as the final 30 minutes will be a Chatham House-style, off-the-record discussion just for GD Pro subscribers.
Today, what we’ll cover is, again, the interesting times we live in. We’re trying to get through an awful lot today, just some of those things are: the theme of the month; the Donroe Doctrine and the Western Hemisphere; Europe, NATO, and Greenland, and how we see that situation playing out; China and its role; and, of course, the Middle East and everything going on with Iran today, yesterday, and tomorrow.
