Graham E. Fuller (bozorgg@aol.com) 6 February 2022 The Biden administration recently issued an incredibly naive statement –rewriting history and the nature of international relations– when Blinken informed Moscow that “spheres of influence should be relegated to the dustbin of history.” So Ukraine can’t possibly lie lie within Russia’s security and influence sphere. Take that, Putin! […]

Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 2 December 2020 Is Turkey out of control? That seems to be the consensus of so many analyses now circulating in US and some European policy circles. But the short answer is, no, it is not. Yet it may be understandable why the US, with its own narrow and self-centric obsession […]

Corona: Thoughts on End Times Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 20 March 2020 These are not, of course, strictly speaking, end times. But for the first time in a long time, there is a whiff of the apocalyptic in the air. The Black Swan has come out of the blue. Events utterly unanticipated in any practical […]

Japanese Nukes—On the Horizon? Graham E. Fuller (bozorgg@aol.com) Membership in the nuclear club is jealously guarded. The fewer the members the better. And the latest member to work his way in the door invariably calls for the gates now to be locked behind him; no new members after me. There are good reasons for this. […]

Our Global Repressive Political Future Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 29 January 2019 As one looks out over the global scene, the outlook for democratic societies appears increasingly dismal. (I’ll avoid a complex discussion here about definitions of “democratic,” simply to note the broad spectrum of democracies that exist, each flawed in its own way.) Several […]

Trump: Lurching towards a New Foreign Policy? Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 6 January 2019 If the rise of strong new powers like China poses a challenge to the older US-dominated geopolitical order, what about about the converse? The challenge to the international order created by a declining and erratic great power ever more at odds […]

Pakistan Elections—Maybe Good News for Pakistan, But Not For US Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 8 August 2018 A bold new political face has come to power in the recent Pakistani elections, possibly offering the US a new opportunity in that country. Sadly the opportunity will likely be squandered—again. There’s something about Pakistani and US interests […]

North Korea—the Deeper Issues Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 13 September 2017 It’s hard to make up a character like Kim Jong Un—his demeanor that reeks callow youth, corpulent self-indulgence, bathing in the adulation of his attendant military brass who sport the highest crowned military visors in the business, the adoring public applause as he presides […]

Global Disorder- What Are the Options? Graham E. Fuller (grahamefuller.com) 22 August 2017 Global disorder is on the rise. What can the US do about it?
