Thomas Barnett – A Potential Map for Peace?
Some of this video is controversial but it is certainly a good beginning for the discussion. It also clearly shows a world view that envisions a future of war and a remediatory aftermath called PEACE. Thomas has been a senior adviser to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, Central Command and Special Operations Command of the United States.
It is time to rethink everything. Here are a few ideas that are worth considering. In frank talk that is quite transparent in its American world view, international security strategist Thomas Barnett outlines a post-Cold War solution for the foundering U.S. military proposes that the US military be divided into two forces- a devastating war machine without apologies and a peace reconstruction division.
“In his book The Pentagon's New Map: War and Peace in the Twenty-First Century, Barnett draws on a fascinating combination of economic, political and cultural factors to predict and explain the nature of modern warfare. He presents concrete, world-changing strategies for transforming the US military -- adrift in the aftermath of the Cold War and 9/11 -- into a two-tiered power capable not only of winning battles, but of promoting and preserving international peace. “
