Part of the interview was explaining what Wikistrat is and how analysts are paid and rewarded and part of it was asking me questions about geopolitics. The interview took place over the phone, and the person I interviewed with was a fairly high level staff member based in Israel. Talking about geopolitics to a foreign national was slightly unnerving I have to admit. I have had secret clearance much of my career, so it felt a little strange to be having such a discussion. That said, much of the discussion taking place on Wikistrat has an international security perspective, and all the intelligence is open source. Posting anything classified is strictly prohibited and can get you removed. The interview is the first step in having regular open and honest discussions about geopolitics with creative thinkers from many nationalities. Normally you would never do that.
