Summary/Abstract: The study is briefly exploring a flexible method aimed at exploring, with solid academic means,some of the most important already predictable (up to a certain point) geopolitically and geo-strategically significant features of the next few years in the history of the United States, in a context clearly dominated by at least three significant vectors: the victory of Donald Trump in the presidential election on November 8, 2016; the limited – but increasingly larger – amount of OSINT connected to the team Trump is going to rely on, along the next few years; and some of the challenges, risks and threats the United States, a state with really massive power resources and truly global interests, is now obviously confronted with.
