I used to be a ardent follower of Peter Zeihan. But like many other 'experts' I found out that he also either ignores or disregard some fact based on superfluous reasons.Only those facts are used which fits his narrative. The real universe doesn't give a hoot about our narratives. Once a few variable changes, the whole narrative comes down as a house of cards.

USA still growing

How can Ethan M. improve himself? He asked it himself. Would ChatGPT recommend Dale Carnegie?

He makes some fascinating statements about the past - but his predictions are highly questionable

He still alive 😂😂❤shame 😂

I just want to go back to 1980s

The DNC media IS ALWAYS telling US Citizens that China produces the most intelligent people in the world and must come here. Is it true?

Good questions from a guy cued into the elites

I like the concept of just in case inventory

Cant china go for quality raethee than quantity

@24:00 media bias to negativity: 'gas prices go up 90 days in a row there are 21 headlines in the NYT, gas prices go down 72 days in a row there is 1 headline in the NYT' (everything is amazing and no one is happy haha)

Biden's is going be be re-elected. You heard it here first!

Trump was the main reason for this failure of globalization. This is why the demorats and many world leaders have gone after him. Globalization was going to make them rich and Trump put an end to it.

The problem IS NOT the American's appetite for cocaine. The PROBLEM is the government has NEVER been able to enforce prohibition, yet they waste BILLIONS yearly trying to. If the government legalized it, produced it, sold it, and DEALT WITH ADDICTION JUST LIKE THEY DO WITH ALCOHOL, they would turn the legal nightmare of the 'war on drugs' into a manageable health issue at 1/100th the total cost per annum. Decided to read on? Cool. Numerous studies throughout the world have shown zero statistically significant increase in the number of people who will try a legal drug, simply because of recent legalization. That blows the only argument you have against it. Disagree? You're either a blind person who can't see the 'war on drugs' is a total failure, or you think you have the right to tell people what they can and can't put in THEIR OWN BODIES. The first case can be cured by educating yourself. The second case can't be cured.

If it were only true

Thank you for sharing! As always crisp and clear from Shankar 👏

the Ukraine not invading Russia did not age well :)

Electricity is times cheaper in Russia, metallurgy is very profitable for them. Russia had very specific answer from USA about missiles in Ukraine in 2021. Of course it will escalate Russian response!

Ukraine 🇺🇦 has crossed the Russian border 🫢 & we are all still here 😊

Pete's got dragon sniffles?

Another BS without real time substance.

Peter Bull crap ga

I respect PZ's opinions and statements here but he seems to be having TDS which makes everything suspect.

Peter was a great interviewer, great questions and prep work

Belch!

It’s a very inspiring interview - the humility expressed was touching

Your assessment of the significance most people place on Trump's conviction brings into question all your other assessments. Most people care about Trump's conviction as much as they care about Jesus Christ's conviction.

Its the same thing he always says. Nothing new here.

Theres is no such thing now as a Han ethnicity. It doesnt exist. Its made up by the communists as a reason to kill people.

What if China just has mixed babies and they already seem to be buying properties and using our country to make up for what they don’t have 🙅‍♀️😫

Zeihan's a scaremongering tool.

Stolen

One slight correction to Peter's point on his Trump's advisors- his advisors throughout the 2016 campaign were his family. And specifically his children, including Jared Kushner. Everyone else-Peter is 100% correct. It's all about who flattered him most recently. I wonder what Peter's thoughts are on Australia. Australia, much like the US exports mass amounts of raw commodities including energy(high quality coal). Thusfar, the Aussies have managed to replace slowing Chinese demand with increasing Indian demand. They are afterall a penal colony of the UK. For those of you who argue that was historically true but not so much today, I would advise you to Google search Australia head of state.

Ok. I understand. What we put in place instead.

As you said, the collapse of what you predict will happen to China has never happened in history, so you have no data. You'd agree that an economic collapse is a deflationary event. The collapse you predict will happen to China will be a massive deflationary event, so Chinese products will become massively cheaper. So, the USA will be able to buy Chinese products for significantly less money. Obviously, USA will buy even more of these even cheaper goods. This puts a significant floor on the Chinese collapse.

very enjoyable to listen to peter

Yeap gambling 🎰 gamble 🎉😂🎉😂🎉

So depressing 🤣

A lot of things happened in a month

Demise of the China economy would be the demise of Amazon?

I'd love to hear Zeihans take on my idea, sending a "humanitarian aid" military mission (fuel, food, engineer support) to Kiev. US Military troops / advisors boots on the ground, but not for any direct force-on-force confrontation. I think it'd basically checkmate Putin, force Russia to accept there is no way for them to ever take Ukraine without a number of American casualties that would necessitate a direct war with all of NATO. Obviously, would never happen until after the election. Ideally, I think Biden should do it after the election, before his successor (Harris) takes office. (He can still do it, regardless of who wins.)

Lol. I respect tf outta zeihan, but that's why you don't make predictions about Ukraine. Literally days after this video, Ukraine invaded Russia. Another fake red line.

Hall of Famer, for sure!

Thanks.

I think he's anti Trump

Love Zeihan's work in general but his views on Trump aren't factual, it is the one place where he just goes off the rails and into his feelings. Even now, a month out, we can see how wrong he was about this to date.

Why is it that Communism seems to the worst of life styles there is

Every crash/collapse brings with it an equivalent market chance if you are early informed and equipped, I've seen folks amass up to $1m amid economy crisis, and even pull it off easily in favorable conditions. Unequivocally, the collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich
