Too Opinionated Interview: Pete Turner

Published: Jan. 16, 2024, 10:03 p.m.

Pete Turner has spent several years as a counterintelligence spy for the U.S. Army traveling to many countries including Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Egypt, Germany, and Iraq. He is now using his extensive knowledge and experience in geopolitics, tactical-espionage, and U.S. travel to provide compelling evidence outside the typical media landscapes which brings us to his current project, a nonprofit organization called International Institute for Nonproliferation Studies (IINPS).

ABOUT INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR NONPROLIFERATION\xa0STUDIES (IINPS) \xa0 \u201cFrankly,\u201d say Mr Turner, \u201cI was tired of seeing\xa0people getting killed while we floundered from top to bottom.\u201d
The inception of the IINPS aimed to tackle issues\xa0identified in US foreign policy, particularly the challenge of connecting\xa0day-to-day operations with strategic objectives. Diverging from conventional\xa0institutions, the IINPS distinguishes itself as a\xa0multidisciplinary\xa0organization grounded in practical experience rather than theoretical academia.\xa0It brings together a diverse\xa0range of seasoned professionals who have firsthand\xa0knowledge of the recurring and foreseeable failures of US initiatives\xa0abroad.\xa0This underscores the notion that the United States, due to its incapacity,\xa0inadvertently fosters instability.\xa0Paradoxically, despite contributing to this\xa0instability, the US often rejects this outcome as implausible. Policymakers and\xa0planners dismiss this harsh reality, unwilling to acknowledge their failures,\xa0as accepting such a notion seems inconceivable\xa0to them. Founder Pete Turner\xa0expressed his motivation, stating, "I initiated this venture out of\xa0frustration with the recurring,\xa0avoidable mistakes in our approach. My goal is\xa0to break the cycle of history repeating itself.

Top priority of the organization is to improve the accuracy and priorities of foreign policy because we pick things that are irrelevant, costing time, money and effort, resulting in unnecessary deaths which could have been avoided.\xa0 \xa0 Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)
