I don't trust peter here with any of his models. Saying that China won't even be an entity in 7 years is beyond lunacy. If anything it sounds like this guy is a paid propagandist for China. Insinuating that China nor Russia are a threat to the rest of the world. Biden is a shill for China and Ukraine. But somehow that doesn't play into effect on the grand scheme of things.

My brother happens to live in Shreveport and be a leading activist in trying to preserve the Red River. He wrote me after watching this video to express both his interest in Zeihan's views but also his suspicion that Zeihan is unaware of some important details that should override his concern for the Jones Act on domestic shipping in the region. In his words: "Shreveport has been fighting the Red River for hundreds of years. For the past 50 it's been the Army Corps of Engineers. When they put in the locks and dams in the 80's, they miscalculated the amount to sediment that the Red carries. Now it it silting in behind the locks and raising the flood levels and they can't dredge/keep a shipping channel sustainably... a ton of resources going into artificially making this a port-city. In the meantime overlooking the opportunities and gifts the river naturally presented." I know zilch about port shipping and would be interested to know how barriers like this would be overcome to achieve anything to the degree Zeihan thinks is possible here.

If we could get all 435 US House of Representatives and all 100 US Senators to watch Peter's presentation, we would undoubtedly see an improvement in American governance. Peter's discussion in his 2015 first book, The Accidental Superpower, about Ukraine and Russia was exactly on target.

[@adurpandya2742]

@@williamanderson4029 globalize is irrelevant. The jones act recently only functioned to keep the US shipbuilding industry afloat against stronger competitors. This led to decline of cities that by all means should be absurdly rich. Those competitors are going away to a large extent. Plus, the new tariffs that will make US industry and ships competitve again with whichever countries we trade with. Those cities will rise again, with or without the Jones act, but the Jones act no longer serves a purpose.

[@seanj4119]

The Jones act will continue to stand on national security grounds. Repealing it would supercharge the water transportation sector, yes, but at the cost of wiping out what little shipbuilding and shipping industry we have left. The US military relies on the domestic shipbuilding and maritime shipping industries to build, maintain, and operate its merchant marine. They also add additional construction and maintenance capacity to the military's and the defense industry's yards in event of a war. The reshoring of our manufacturing and onset of deglobalization will already induce demand for river shipping and will grow the industry whether the Jones Act stays or not.

[@williamanderson4029]

@@adurpandya2742 You need to do a bit of research on the topic prior to commenting. A large percentage of major shipyards in the US are wholly or partly owned by foreign companies. Austal USA, Keppel in Brownsville TX, Kvaerner in Philly, Fincantieri in WI, and on and on. These yards are foreign owned with a US subsidiary that allows them to compete here. Foreign (ie Asian) yards are NOT stronger, they simply pay their labor at slave wages that no first world country can compete with. Judging from your title I would guess you are from Singapore (a major Asian shipbuilding state), now that drillship & semi production has stalled your simply looking to break into other markets. Good jobs and onshored production are what is going to carry the US thru th enext 10 years of hardship.

Can't find a timestamp but what he said about the Kerch strait bridge is wrong. The car bomb destroyed one of the two road bridges and damaged the other one. The two rail bridges were slightly damaged because a train was passing at the time and it caught on fire. Both rail bridges and one of the road bridges were able to be utilized again within weeks. Normal rail traffic is running again on one track and reduced-load trains are running on the other, and that's information from early December. Likewise one car lane is destroyed but the other is open to light traffic. Not a frame-shattering error but something he said that was blatantly wrong, delivered with confidence and panache. Since i know it wasn't true, that was the one I caught. But I'm sure other people heard other things that they're familiar with and thought "wait, that's not right."

Just a thought, and I am sure Peter has already had these conversations with several equity firms, but an investment model trading on areas of this 5 to 10 year projection would be extremely interesting. I am not talking wholistically, more industry or market specific (I am sure I am not the only one who has watched this and his other videos with an eye towards industries and companies that will or should thrive). This would be in the re-industrilization, processing, refining or agricultural base or any of the hundreds of knock on impacts from there. Then there is the internal demographic changes that have been accelerated with Covid (high cost urban to lower cost rural/medium urban) just within the US that will only be accelerated by the industrilization. The change in capital flows internally from High cost northern urban centers to lower cost "new" manufacturing locations in the US (looking at you Alabama)....

[@maYTeus]

the cheap land and labor of the American south is kinda begging for re-industrialization.

I'm always looking for investment ideas which resonate with PZ's insights. Hopefully, Sprott's new energy transition metals fund (symbol SETM) benefits. I just bought some.

@pa3465 That's why an ETF seems like the prudent way to participate. I look at a fund like PBW and am reassured about the trend.

[@bromleysimon7414]

@pa3465 "ETFs just took a nose dive in the last month." Wouldn't that depend on what a particular ETF holds in its portfolio? "Indexes are still king for most." Wouldn't that depend on what a particular index follows?

A lot of the content in his books is a contextualized telling of history. He explains why things are happening now. What in events in history set the stage for current events. But let's be honest...half of the country really doesn't want to be reminded of history.

Build a society that funnels wealth up to the CEOs and multi-millionaires, at the expense of the working class, and the working class has fewer and fewer kids. Fewer kids = fewer consumers. Fewer kids = fewer workers.

[@hunterbidensvaxmandates]

Still kind of nice not being so expendable

[@obcane3072]

No CEOs...no workers. If you think otherwise then get the unions to open up companies with the union dues and share in the profits. Cut the CEO's out and see how that works out.

[@natebaker8125]

I see a ton of people saying he’s full of it and that he’s “fear mongering” to sell. Like the dudes job is to interpret data, geography, politics, resources, economies, people, etc. ALL of his presentations show a STRONG correlation between REAL current circumstances that point to a very dangerous future. He makes an amazingly solid argument for everything he believes.

[@Inkkari9]

Much of it depends on collapse of Russia which isn't going to happen

[@natebaker8125]

@@Inkkari9 if they throw all of their resources into winning and can’t recuperate the loss of their resources, then they won’t be able to sustain the industrialized country they are rn. It’s the same thing that happened after WW1 which is why Russia had to go into the Ukraine and take every scrap of food they had.

[@Inkkari9]

@@natebaker8125 they still have money in swiss banks and can access it when conditions is met and collapsing Russia would be a problem for Europe and also for USA. It has nasty consequence if it totally collapses and like with Soviet Union when it collapsed, it was helped. It's too big to fail. Their government and style of leading their country can collapse and change, but after that it just needs help. If usa aren't helping I'm pretty sure Europe and China and others will. Dangerous to have a wild west with nukes and weapons

[@mensrea1251]

Except he's just plain wrong in even the basic data. Too much hyperbole and over the top drama in his presentations to take him seriously. But he's fun to listen to.

You lost me with your bad take on the Jones Act. I’m a US Merchant Mariner. The act is vital for defense and commerce. You’re looking at a very narrow part of it that looks like an economic problem, but it is actually a vital part of what makes it work.

[@jesabeltwin5051]

Legend. He is so energy conscious, the maps and graphs have to black out after 5 seconds so you can't look at the map/graph to see what he is talking about, when he is talking.

[@bromleysimon7414]

Just pause and replay what you would like time to study and absorb. I do that with Peter Zeihan all the time because of how much information he packs into his presentations. Graphics AND narration.

[@liennitram9291]

I didn't notice that. That's is really interesting. Thank you for pointing that out. The real information is in the subtlety isn't it....?

[@alexking9083]

Pretty interesting. Also, that's a great example why a single country must never be the only resource source for the entire continent. I understand that we can't magically move the resources between countries, but what we really can do is to make everything that a single gigimon country splits in like 10-20, so decentralized regions are easier to be forced to behave like normal human beings

[@Chironex_Fleckeri]

Very interesting I think. It isn't a coincidence that South Korea and Japan both set the stage for developing nuclear arsenals or having a piece of another country's nuclear deterrent deployed within their borders. Putin's nuclear threats have already sobered up a lot of governments around the world. Well a distinction can be made. A democracy has the benefit of evolving ideas and self-reflection. When you let a man play king in a nuclear-armed nation, he's completely unchecked. That is why Putin, Xi, and other dictators are dangerous when they get ideas that go completely unchecked. The ability to protest without consequences or share a different opinion is a very important feature of democracies. We should be happy to have opposition to our ideas as long as the overwhelming majority agrees that a democratic form of government is actually in their best interest from the standpoint of affecting real change in the direction of society. The opinions of voters matters. None of that exists in Russia or China, and it makes them dangerous regardless of how powerful our military is.
