PETER ZEIHAN Takes Big Swings: Hezbollah, Hamas, and China’s Crisis

I agree with Jack Carr's assessment of Peter Zeihan. Zeihan is not afraid (everybody ELSE is terrified!) to make very plausible predictions of war, conflict, economics, etc. whilst bringing receipts! Zeihan is a breath of fresh air in a stifling miasma of media misinformation.

To people who can’t point Iran or Iraq on the map, Peter knows his 💩 , but for people who actually are from the region and know it intimately, he sounds like fraud and grifters which he is!

Just on its face the assertion that Iran is the most backward and weak as it has been in the past 5000 years is ridiculous. Iran actually has a decent industrial complex, mostly low and mid level, and good weapons manufacturing. The 1940's Persia was way weaker and more backward.

Peter's analysis of Iran is brilliant.

[@simple-eastner]

Go listen to his analysis on Russia from April-Aug of 2022 i.e. 3-6 months after Russia invaded Ukraine. I listened to him back then. Yes, he gives some facts & figures which no one is talking about and which seem to be important detail others are missing. But, he exaggerates the consequences of those facts like he does at 17:35. So, his analysis of the future is little too off be it China or Russia or even Iran. And he analysis was little odd, he says rightly at the start that there is a "dominant group/race" controls other i.e. Arabs,Azeris,Balouchis and he misses Kurds(not a big issue). But oddly he doesn't identify/speak much abt the "dominant group", who are? "Aryans".

I really enjoy listening to your talks with Mr Zeihan. The regional histories, political, financial, and warfareing are all fascinating. I am constantly blown away by the closeness of reality and the books. Scary. By the way, pre-ordered Red Sky Mourning on Audible. There is something about Ray Porter speaking gentle Reeces in my ear while working... thank you, Mr Carr!

[@caseyh1934]

You'd be interested in content from Stratfor (Peter used to work there) and George Friedman (specifically book Next 100 years). Kind of the precursor to current geopolitical thought

[@mykullthecimmerian7183]

Thanks Jack! I listen to Peter nearly every morning. I watch him give all the lectures and interviews I can find on the interwebs. When he is on your show, it is the only time (with the exception of the one Rogan appearance) he actually has a conversation with all the wonderful give and take. Like you mentioned, he has this unique but very easy to comprehend understanding of history and geopolitics. This interpretation of events makes so many things happening around the world click into place and make so much sense. Again, thank you! Also, I work at the "Big Bookstore" and cannot wait to sell your next novel to my customers! Good luck Mr. Carr! 🤘

[@jhosk]

Always enjoy Peter's commentary, don't always agree with him but find it useful.

[@requited2568]

Zeihan has some great data and makes some good points, however, something prevents him from either following them to their logical conclusions or at least from expressing those conclusions. The most recent being the Russia situation, which most free thinking people could see what the result would be without western boots on the ground and also why that would be even worse. Even their current economic situation was predictable once they kicked a country off SWIFT and with how the west has exported all our industries. Heck, we are two years in and we still can not get our munitions manufacturing even started.

[@standup_jokes]

Great interview (as usual). Peter is the best. Knowledgeable and professional. Pure fun listening to.

[@johnjohnson5818]

Jack Carr, Peter mentions that Kharg Island is an easy target and very important to Iran's oil infrastructure and exporting ability. Peter should mention that a US company, RMKBRJ (Root, ..., Johnson) built Kharg Island before Iran had its Islamic Revolution. Three (3) bonus points: 1. The Johnson in RMKBRJ is Lyndon Johnson, and 2. The Islamic Revolution has moved Iran back into the 16th century. 3. Since the US built Kharg Island (we have the blue-prints of the facility), the US knows exactly where to hit the facility to cause the most damage with the least explosives, least danger to us.

[@-Gramps]

Informative! Thank you

[@Madame702]

Yea, don't worry all the best Iranian technology comes from west. Iran is not interested in getting into a direct war with United States. But they will try something before the elections.

[@fwfeo]

I used to live on Khark island during the Iraq- Iran war and they attacked the oil facilities and endangered the lives many civilians who live on the island. My dad sent my me, my mom and brother to the mainland to keep us safe from Iraqi attacks. It’s so heartwarming to hear this grifter and the Neocons running the US want to attack Iran for their hegemonic purposes!! 🙄

[@fwfeo]

@@willchristie2650nope! It was always conservative! The Shah’s modernization was top down in a bifurcated society and caused more problems than solving them!! The liberalization was faster than the society could absorb the changes. Today’s Iran after 45 years of heavy handed theocracy has become the most anti religious country in the world!

[@fwfeo]

Go watch some videos of Iran today. It’s definitely not 16th century! That’s only your perception by listening to dummies like Peter Zeihan! With “experts” like Zeihan, no wonder US empire is floundering and fading away!!

The one thing I've not heard Peter speak to in relation to China's dissolution, which concerns me, is what we are going to do about all of the loose nukes. We still don't know where all of the Soviet nukes are. Same concern goes for Pakistan.

[@ivancho5854]

Historically the USA had dealt with problems in a very different way from say the British government. Americans deal with today's problems today and tomorrow's problems tomorrow, whereas in the UK we think of the ramifications on each action and the ramifications of the ramifications, etc. I don't know why this is (perhaps religiosity?) and of course it is an exaggeration, but nonetheless it's broadly true. At the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union I can remember hearing talk about nuclear security too, but it worked out. Perhaps China's nukes will be used? Pakistan may sell theirs to India for food? Who knows, likely we'll deal with it. Or we won't and the world will be less safe for a while. NOTE that a nuke needs to be completely rebuilt every 25 or so years anyway after which it probably won't work anything like as designed. The same goes for missiles. A solid propellant ICBM designed to hit the other side of the planet simply won't 25 years later because the propellant degrades and deforms (the last two test firings of British Trident missiles failed, IMHO because of this 🤫). Unless very well maintained liquid fueled missiles will likely explode when fueled. I get the impression that most people think that nuclear weapons are like modern cars which work every time you turn the key, whereas no one worries what a bunch of terrorists would do if they got hold of a space rocket. Literally no one thinks that a terrorist could become an astronaut, yet they're afraid that the same terrorist could successfully use a nuclear missile to threaten the West. What I'm trying to say is don't worry about it too much Nick. We pay our militaries to do that. And take the American example of worrying about today's problems today and tomorrow's problems tomorrow. 😉 All the best. 👍

He has some sobering analytical projections where US oil stands, particularly the current state of the Permian basin. I enjoy Peter's global insight, but I think he could delve more deeply into the relationship between oil and the global economy and how the sobering predictions of our climate tipping points going back to the 1972 MIT climate research papers may impact human civilization in the not to distant future.

It was lovely to see Carr interview Zeihan

[@luminyam6145]

That was so good, thank you.

[@qnone5583]

Zeihan is briliant, even if he is wrong, his use of data and logic is always defendable...

[@SOUTHL.A.]

Fascinating as always 🙃

[@christianbuhlmann7820]

I listen to alot of Peter's talks, and this one was very cogent and his ability on the fly to just pull all the pieces together is fascinating. Clearly Jack and Peter enjoy the interactions on this and look forward to future 1 hour actions

[@outbackgearforu]

I like Peter because he gives a perspective that you just can’t get from MSM,he’s not bound by PC and says stuff that’s real,don’t agree with all his conclusions,but it will be entertaining to see which of his predictions come true ,and Ime sure some will

[@daiakunin]

Great interview!

[@JD..........]

34:00 - great explanation for several minutes

[@SuburbanDaredevil666]

Peter Zeihan reverberating Peter Quill briefing the CIA from Homeland to the letter. Epic

[@thomasschwarz1973]

Unreal. And I have read Peter's latest book. But this was the most lucid and detailed presentation of Peter's core ideas.... ...must be the interviewer or a special cup of coffee that Peter drank or a good day. Thanks!

[@fwfeo]

Why would anyone listen to this grifter!

[@dbiedler]

Thank you!

[@metameta1427]

I love listening to Mr. Zeihan. I don't agree with all his analysis and predictions, but he is one of the few who have the courage to engage in these tough conversations. His approach is at least backed up by research, and his opinions are expressed as his honest, nonpolarizing assessment. We in America are at the proverbial fork in the road, and both paths are not going to be easy. One concern I am adamant about is our pathetic choices of Silent Generation and Baby Boomers in most of our important political offices. Our choices for President in 2024 are pathetic. These two old geezers are not going to be around to suffer the consequences of their actions. Millennials and Gen Z must take the reigns and guide us through these troubling times. Never forget that the founding fathers were all in their 20s, 30s, and 40s with James Monroe being 18 on July 4th, 1776. Yes, the life expectancy was much lower, being 55 up until 1779 and 65 through the early and mid 1800s. Those of us who will live with the ramifications of the distressing options should have the most influence of which paths we choose. My fellow Millennials and Gen Z and even Gen X (yeah whatever) countrymen, we must take the reigns. Run for office and let's attempt to end the putrid polarization plaguing us these days. We can navigate this and come out the other side in much better shape. The youth have inherited a mess from the previous generations, but we are capable and ready to escape the position we currently find ourselves in, that being between a rock and hard place. Run, run, run for office those in your 20s-50s.

Would be cool if you could have a narrator through up some charts photos and statistics during your pod cast to show how some of the bias learning scenarios are being developed for those of us that are not proficient historians. Great job getting everyone thinking more big picture.

[@thundergod2645]

Can't wait for the new James Reece book!!! When is season 2 of the show coming?

[@48William]

Great information

[@jimbopeebles8210]

A positive ending to an episode with Peter? What a twist!

[@-Gorbi-]

“Netanyahu just missed that this was going to happen”. I am amazed that Zaihan missed all the signs that he knew perfectly well and even funded it!

[@AmericanNope]

He knows and he is paid well not to say anything about it. Zeihan is a neo conservative. If you know who they are and their origins then you know what informs all of Zeihans extremely slanted perspectives.

[@JockBlock-vd2ep]

I was going to call BS on Peter’s theory of Siberian wells having to be redrilled if they froze off but then I had an epiphany. I am a 37 year veteran of the Alberta oil patch and I have seen well heads,surface and production casing split when frozen under extreme conditions. In Canada when this happens we intervene immediately to address the problem before it becomes a complete right-off. But in Russia the territory is so vast, the oilfield infrastructure is substandard, the petroleum workers and management are so complacent or just completely incompetent that the complete destruction of a well is absolutely possible if it is not addressed in a prudent and timely manner.

[@HellBot-gi5si]

Sorry but Canada has oil sands that not what Russia has. Russian oil fields in Siberia is in a bog. During the Summer you can't drill because can't get to the area you need to drill. You need to wait till everything frozen then you can drill down. The only problem is that Russian oil is really hard to get to so you have use warm water and you have to pump it into ground to force the oil out. You don't really have to do that in Canada.

[@HellBot-gi5si]

Now it took about ten years to get those wells going in Russia once you stop pulling oil out of the ground. You have start over again. So it might be another ten years to get those Russian well producing oil. Please remember the oil in Russia isn't that great it has a lot of sulfur so it smell like "shit". You have to also have extra thick pipes because the sulfur will destroy your refinery.

[@adherentofladycolumbia725]

Always nice to see

[@andrewlaco1776]

Two Company men who make a lot of sense.

[@snowissj]

Well, I think I just crapped my pants. Thanks

[@cosagonzales]

"RED SKY MOURNING" is now BURNED into my LED monitor for an hour after i fell asleep to your podcast! CHANGE THE CHIRON!!!

[@impermanencenoself5965]

Isn't China supposed to have collapsed by now? He's so confident in his musings. It's adorable.

[@johnnovotny5074]

I love the bond villian motif of Zeihan's backdrop.
