The Era of "Geopolitical Fatigue" Has Arrived

Dealing with the never-ending barrage of geopolitics

From businesses to governments, many global stakeholders today are overburdened by geopolitics. They are struggling to “keep up” as geopolitical storms worsen and those who once commanded the world stage fail to maintain order and stability.

Optimism is in short supply.

Bursts of hope that geopolitical disorder may be ending are being quickly dashed by new flareups, like the new war between Israel and Iran. This has been in the making for three decades. And, in just one week, the Israeli military has taken control of the skies above Iran, destroyed at least 50% of Iran’s missile launchers, and is striking Iranian nuclear facilities with carte blanche. This is a scenario that just a month ago many believed was impossible. The established assumptions and beliefs are being shattered.
