  • Summary

  • The unforeseen arrangements between China and the Cook Islands have induced greater interest in South Pacific geopolitics than we can ever remember.

    How we deal with this surprise confrontation will be fascinating to observe.

    One thing is obvious; the Kiwi's “benign strategic environment” has had its feathers ruffled.

    In 2019 George Friedman published “The Storm Before The Calm”, which suggested the sort of events we are now experiencing. George Friedman guests on Podcast 273.

    And, as ever, we round up with The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
