Avail Yourself Future: Tense: The Coming World Order? Penned By Gwynne Dyer Released As Hardbound

finish this one Interesting topic, boring writing though, I don't reccommend it. another masterpiece Even though this book is now over ten years old, it still had insights and predictions for the future that, while not totally accurate, show just how perceptive Gwynne Dyer really was.
It is interesting that he writes exactly as he speaks in any of the documentaries of his I've seen, Many times I could hear him speaking as I read, I highly recommend this book, Much about the war in Iraq and USA, few about the coming world order, All of the American cornerstones to the new world order are bogus, This book was very easy to read, and gave me a lot of background and some things to think about, I just wish he quoted his sources he just mentioned a few things I wished he'd back up, A wonderful book reminding me of the halycon days of the Dubya administrations the good old days indeed!! We have to be thankful that Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Perle weren't part of the Trump team.


I should have read this book years ago as it explains so much about American foreign policy, It also depicts Tony Blair as a snivelling wretch, which is accurate even though I'm a Labour Party supporter, I will be reading more of Gwynne Dyer's work because anyone who can write inin relation to Russia possibly joining the EU at some point in the future "though it might then be membership in a European

Union that has lost the United Kingdom" has to be respected for their prescience.
The foundations of World War III are being laid today,

American defeat in Iraq is only a matter of time, but how long it takes matters a lot, The fate of Iraq is a sideshow, the terrorist threat is a red herring, and the radical Islamists' dream of a worldwide jihad against the West is a fantasy, but the attempt to revive Pax Americana is real.
No matter what the outcome of the election in November,, the enterprise is likely to continue, It is bound to fail eventually, but we need it to fail soon,

American military power is not limitless, and the other big powers will not stand for US military domination of the world, They don't buy the cover story about the 'terrorist threat,' but they don't want a fight either, They are all on hold for the moment, hoping that America will remember its commitment to the United Nations, the rule of law and multilateralism.
If it does not, then the drift back into alliances, balanceofpower politics and military confrontations will begin, Ten years from now, an Americanled alliance that includes India and occupies much of the Middle East could be facing a European alliance led by France, Germany and Russia AND a hostile, heavily armed China.


In Future Tense, Gwynne Dyer's brilliant follow up to last year's bestselling Ignorant Armies, he analyzes how the world made its way to the brink of disaster, and describes how we may all slide over the edge.
It was fringe groups of extremists Islamist fanatics and American neoconservatives who set the process in motion, but it has gone well beyond that now.
It is not too late, but the clock is running, Reading an older book, gave lots of analysis on why America went into Iraq and the repercussions in the short term, Also talked the current UN system and how it was undermined significantly by the American's Iraq War,

A fault with the book was it didn't cover the future of geopolitics only in brief, throughout the books in snippets, and one chapter.


Overall still enjoyable read and gave lots of prediction regarding the middle east conflicts, a fair amount of them turned into reality and many more are in the works.
