Geo-Politics doesn't have to be confusing
Understanding the complexities and intricacies of Middle Eastern geo-politics and how they influence diplomacy and international relations can be a daunting task. Rather than bore you with oversimplified and often historically and culturally incompetent "expert opinion" we will relate it to something we all understand...The never ending and merciless power struggle of a third grade playground....P. Johnson
Thinks he is smarter than he is…over simplified thinking . Actions often short sighted and contradictory.
No longer respected as one of the toughest kids on the playground so feels the need to assert his strength on those who are not capable of defending themselves.
New kid at school but from a neighboring rival school …the reputation of his former school leads others to question his motives.
Neglected child with inattentive parents. Held back in school a couple times. Illiterate, lonely, confused …angry.
Many generations of wealth spoiled rich kid…completely out of touch. Unquenchable appetite
Elitist selfish well connected child. Tends to think only in terms of 'me'. Parents and grandparents sacrificed and worked hard to achieve great things…she forgets she has lived a life of privilege.
Ruthless wants to continue to run his section of playground at any cost…hated by most, liked by some , lesser of two evils to others.
Confused kid with conflicting loyalties…indecisive, always on edge.
