The reason for the structure of the Russian military is that its basically a defensive organisation, they thought, planned for a defensive war where they could use the railway system as part of their logistics... The increase in manpower (+500.000) will largely be focusing of conscripts driving supply trucks. Not new tanks. Russia is still in firm control of the North Crimean Canal. The evacuation of Cherson was Probably that they wanted to play safe and make sure not to risk any collapse that could jepordise the control of this water asset.

As a Brit, who voted for Brexit, I watch this with interest. For the last 10-15 years I have watched as our governments have allowed Chinese and Russian money come into the country and buy up ( and then dismantle) our manufacturing. A few have managed to remain here - Lotus cars look to Malaysia and that area of the world, JCB (yes, the heavy equipment, diggers etc) continue to innovate and challenge competitors. BUT we have stuck to the intellectual stuff more. I really fear for the loss of our industry and manufacturing and the absolute lack of understanding there seems to be amongst our politicians and business people about how this world situation is going to pan out.

[@ukasz6310]

Because during last ~30years they had same dilemma : put some money in r&d, which gives small profit margin & lot of uncertainty, or just offshore as anyone alse, with instant gratification in terms of $. Decision was easy: instant gratification. But in the long term, this is a trap. For young generation there is just no hope in Europe: you have in most countries no option to buy a property due to the asset bubble, you will pay more taxes for climate change policy, you will pay more taxes for growing welfare/social system needs, and the company you are working for has no chance in global competition with US or China.

Was the zero covid policy cancelled due to money, (i.e. the cost of testing) the CCP stopped paying and the local government couldn't pick up the costs?

[@doomerbloomer6160]

It's for propaganda reasons. Protests happened because the situation in china is shit -> government backs down on some 0 covid policies -> local authorities have more autonomy -> covid will get worse because chinese vaccine is shit and no one has natural immunity -> situation gets much worse -> CCP says "See? 0 covid is our only chance, protesters were wrong, and the central government needs to have all the authority because local gov needs our guidance. We're going back to massive lockdowns." -> even more lockdowns. The CCP knew 0 covid couldn't go on forever, but because things will be much worse without 0 covid, the government can say that they're always right and need to have the authority to do what needs to be done. It's all a grab for more power. the CCP can make a propaganda win even in the worst of situations.

The USA just put billions into microchip build out. Making neon isn't hard. We have THOUSANDS of air separation units in the USA. We just don't make Neon because of the return on investment needed to produce it. If the US tossed some of that money to an air separation company we'd be glad to add on the extra parts of the plant needed to capture and purify that neon. The refining process is already well known, and we already have the first half of the process running. Neon only makes up 0.00182% of the air we breath. You have to suck in a lot of air with very large compressors to get very much(big electric bill). Nitrogen is aprox 78% oxygen is aprox 21% and argon is aprox 1% for reference. The other part of it is that the boiling point is -410. That's pretty darn cold. Liquid N2 is -320f(think terminator 2 folks). Even more electricity is needed to refrigerate it down to that cold so it can be purified. Its a problem. But one that can be fixed with $$.

[@keithosiewicz4340]

I have read all his books and watched many of his videos. I think of his thesis as 'the worst-case scenario'. If the world is going to crash, this is most likely how it will happen. But it won't happen. The reason is if the worst-case scenario is as bad as he describes, then people will see it and avert it. Leaders and everyday people are actors not just passive figures on a demographic chart. People in North Africa and the Middle East know they need to import food. Asians know they need to import oil. South Americans know they need capital. Globalization in some form will continue because everyone needs it.

[@mgez919]

Right! I love Peters analysis, but information travels at the speed of light to all corners of the earth now, so people and organizations can act much quicker with more information then ever before in world history.

[@hotchicsf]

This is the reason why he's working this hard. His thesis is not an iron-clad prediction. He is giving us the odds of it happening (some odds are ridiculously high as to almost be inevitable) and he's hoping those who are in the position to make changes will take notice and make those changes before the odds grow so high as to be impossible to avert the disasters. Unfortunately, Ukraine and Russia was predicted by him years ago, and it could not be averted. Chinese demographics aging out of existence is also something that cannot be averted (due to their one-child policy going on for far too long). One other thing that cannot be averted at this time is fertilizer shortages. There is going to be famine in 2023 and beyond. There's not enough food for the world. He's basically stating the obvious at this point.

I can only account for the majority of the kids that grew up in rural towns or in the country. We got our asses handed to us, always respectful, are hard workers, and would rather work for what we have than have anything handed to us.

Same. Being raised out in the sticks gives you a since of self reliance and freedom which people who live in the cities and suburbs have no concept of.

The think that Peter isn't talking about - ok it isn't his thing - is that asides from all these bad timing geopolitical events from the Ukraine invasion to the growing cohort of old dependents distorting the population pyramid we have major social problems too. Social media, tribalism, the breakdown in trust in the authorities, critical social justice, a west that no longer believes in itself, and in UK and some of western Europe we have parallel societies thanks to the policy of multiculturalism rather than assimilation and integration, and huge migration problems that will only grow as the hunger in Africa grows. I could go on, but its just KZbin....

@@JonathanLoganPDX turn off CNN.. everything they ate saying is a lie.. who do you think has murdered over 20,000 women and children in Ukraine since 2014? Tell me who you think has Bern shelling and bombing eastern Ukraine for 9 years.

[@nazihater2798]

I'm still waiting.... who has been shelling, bombing , raping and murdering women and children of the Donbas for the past 9 years straight... it does not take even a H.S. diploma to know the answer to that one. Come on Jon, who has been conducting genocide on the people of eastern Ukraine for the past 9 years? Tell us all 😆 🤣 😂... I guarantee you are too ignorant to know the answer, or you know the answer and cannot say because you know Zelenskyy is a FASCIST Nazi conducting genocide on the people of eastern Ukraine.

Thank You! Would you, pls, consider speaking about Europe & EU? I think EU should hire you for that but we know EU & Europe are not able to face the facts or admit that we would need external support.

A million people, mosly children, shipped to Russia. Peter, you are just making shit up at this point.

We were horrified and annoyed by the way many of the Millennials were raised (e.g. participation trophies) so it isn't surprising that we'd take a different approach.

I don't really like Peters style, but I do understand it. & I respect his opinion. I am disappointed that he did not see a place in the world for India. Not because Im Indian or Asian, Im not. Because not looking at India when discussing this entire subject, is more than an oversight. He believes Mexico is best poised for the upcoming decades. Id say India, especially due to its proximity to China, has its own value, that Peter is 100% ignoring or overlooking. Otherwise, I see he is quite brilliant in many observations. Yet, Ive heard these sort of speech by global experts before, & they rarely play out more than about 50/60% of predictable expectations. Time will ultimately tell us though. & I believe Missouri is much more poised than Iowa, from both resources, & diversity of Row Crops in North, & Livestock in the south. Shipping by Truck & railway thru Missouri is also superior.

I like how you skipped over ESG because of time and then went another 20 minutes.
