  • Trista is a Swede/Iranian working in the US. As an foreign policy expert, he is generally critical of the US empire and how stupid its diplomatic efforts are in regards to especially Iran.

    I appreciate that he is always factually correct and refrain from spin such as calling Hamas and Hezbollah “terror organizations” which is common elsewhere in the West.

    He is also willing to say things we “know” that other “experts” try to avoid. In the above example, he rightly assumes that the assassination was carried out by Israel even though we will likely never have convulsive evidence of that.

    When it comes to predictions and the quality of his analysis, he tend to be OK. He often gives personalities and individuals more importance for shaping world events than I’d care for but he is generally pessimistic that the US is going to be successful with its global affairs, diplomatic efforts and wars. I think he’s approach to International Relations is from an academic area studies which makes him less dogmatic.
