Ian Bremmer, Time: These Are the Top 10 Geopolitical Risks of 2015

WNU Editor: I agree with all 10. The weaponization of finance is one that I have not dedicated much coverage on .... but it is a powerful tool that can be used against certain countries .... Russia being one of them. I would also add Venezuela (oil/economic collapse), the rise of militant Islamic groups in the sub-Sahara, and Afghanistan to this list.

Question

Will china be able to save the socialist government in Venezuela?

Saudi Arabia is not gunning for Venezuela per se. They would be aware that the current Venezualan govt. is an Iranian ally, so few tears would shed.

Geopolitics is a word that
is so overused that I can
no longer match its use
to a definition.
