In this week’s Global Macro Update interview, I spoke with George Friedman, a long-time friend of Mauldin Economics and the founder and chairman of Geopolitical Futures.

George and I discussed the very sad news of the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe last week and… the massive geopolitical story the mainstream media is overlooking… and why Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party strongly favors restoring Japan’s military capacity, what that means for the Pacific… and more.

• Why the elimination of Article 9 will herald the return of Japan to the world stage as a great power and what that means for the Pacific…
