Stratfor is a company that provides information and analysis about events happening around the world. Imagine you're playing a game like "I Spy" and your parents are telling you all the clues about what you need to find. Stratfor does the same thing, but for world events. They have people who research what is happening in different countries and analyze it to help you understand why certain things are going on. This can help people make better decisions about things like investing or traveling because they have more information. It's like having a really smart friend who knows a lot about the world and can help explain things to you.
