During a demoralizing year for Twitter, there's been one notable bright spot: the relentless and inspired posting of Austrian economist Gunther Fehlinger (@GunterFehlinger). With political opinions (and matching selfies) ranging from #exRussia and #exChina to the need for Austria to join NATO, Gunther has risen quickly to become one of the world's most legendary commentators on geopolitics (my favorite "NATO is our sunscreen" Tweet is here). To further explore Fehlinger Thought, we speak with Gunther about how he transformed from a free market economist to one of the most passionate advocates for the expansion of the US-led world order, even daring to cheer on the dissolution of many major world powers. We also chat Balkan food and how to get the best flag pins. Follow him for all this thoughts here: https://twitter.com/GunterFehlinger (also on YouTube).
