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.

I read his 500 page book too. And while I am no geopolitical expert, and while I enjoy listening to him, he is kind of a cult of personality type who speaks too authoritatively about stuff he actually doesn’t know much about. What he says about china’s vax not working (NEITHER DID OURS) and he literally believes that China wasn’t exposed to covid … total nonsense I could write four pages about why he’s totally wrong about covid and China and covid … and the whole vax issue. His extreme views about the generations (boomer, gen x, millenials, zoomers) is pretty way off in many ways too.

@@theredscourge Yes and that plant covers about 50 percent of all of North America needs. To spin another one up, which Canada could do, would require about 10 billion in investment and, this is the important part, another 5 years. The worlds four largest sources, Russia Belarus, Ukraine and China are no longer able to ship or choosing to ship fertilizer or food outside their borders. Several nations have already stopped food stuff exports. I am not sure if you understand whats going on in a lot of these other nations, their governments are pushing for them to stop using fertilizer. But they like you dont understand just how much yields will drop if they do. Take corn, its America's staple crop. Corn that is not engineered requires about a 3 square foot print per plant. That allows it to gather enough nutrients to grow and produce. Engineer corn can be grown tighter together, some species as close as a foot. This alone will triple the yield per acre of land. But you must have fertilizer. Many farmers cant even plant the old varieties because they are under contract from agra corps. In the US we wont starve, we just have way to much land to do that, even without fertilizer. But that would mean we would export a lot less calories. That means other nations starve. And you add that every other nation is going to be having a lot less or even no fertilizer, lands that were once only marginal farmland go back to being non producing. And calories farmed crash. We have a word for that. Famine. And its as old as humanity.

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.

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.
I think this lecture is most fascinating not just because of the vast array and detail of information presented, but because at least certain members of the audience are in full view the entire time so how they react to this information can be seen. Having studied body language and personality in my time I find myself watching the audience to see what I can learn just as much as Zaihan's presentation....
I have listened to Peter Zeihan frequently and daily for my own understanding and he has been consistent and deeply resourceful exceptionally detailed worthy for anyone who needs to know what is coming in vast amount in the foreseeable future. Some of the information is repeated but this is the best summary of his thoughts. I am great full and enjoy his presentation. I am glad more people and the government officials are listening to his views.

Peter Zeihan is wrong. Well, some of his conclusions are (read his past books). He knows a lot. He's very provocative and always entertaining. He oversimplifies a LOT. He sometimes emphasizes the wrong thing and doesn't emphasize the right thing. He always assumes that human beings can not adapt to change, which is usually wrong. Anyway, as I said, He knows a lot.

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.

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.

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 $$.

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.

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 have a friend, she was born in China her son still lives in China. I just spoke to her before starting this video. She told me Covid is tearing throughout the country. The government is trying to not let the news out, but she says last 2 weeks everyone has it.

I'm a geographer by profession and I have been increasingly questioning myself because everywhere I look I see these problems in the networks, the failure of multiple nodes in a system with no in-built redundancy. Then I heard Peter Zeihan and I didn't feel quite so paranoid-crazy. 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 KZread....
I never get tired of his speeches. he talks of scary stuff with a smile, as if what he forecast it's totally obvious and unavoidable, but yet it's all pretty damn complex, so a little variable change on the mix could change the final result on an unforseen scale ...

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.
Ramping up The Big Valley from 5% to 10%
51:07... I'm a Millennial ('85), and my dad, a Boomer ('55), and I have to disagree with your assessment about us Millenials, and how Boomers raised us. 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. I believe you're thinking of ones that were raised in cities, specifically liberal cities. Rural and country people are very similar to people that were living in the early 20th century, or how I've experienced and have been told the same as how I've been raised... I believe it depends on where someone has been born and raised...

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. When something breaks they just call a guy or go buy another whatever. I don't think the cities ever had it in any real capacity (freedom), with more people in close proximity more laws are necessary and with more laws comes less freedom. The suburbs used to but have long since gone the way of urbanization, which is why they are for the majority voting Democrat by 30 plus points or so.

There is a physicist, on KZread, that explains why the Texas energy issue happened: it has to to with keeping the system running at 60HZ and you can only deviate from that by fractions. If you don’t, it collapses the system - which is what happened in Texas - it shut down to protect itself but….it takes weeks to get it back up. This is why you can drive to Palm Springs and see acres and acres of windmills and only 1/3 are rotating - they can’t overload the system!

The Texas "energy issue" happened because they refuse to create a market for storage because they steal oil.

@@benjamindees huh? Steal oil? Not sure what that even means. Texas produces oil. There is truth to the storage part of your argument - which is completely related to the power grid having too high of fluctuations. They had massive amounts of wind and solar without any storage and no baseline capacity.
Tired of political b.s. and just want to look at the data and what it tells us about where we all are headed, just listen to Peter.

Peter. I know you are fully aware that Germans is shifting manufacturing to the USA, as I’m sure is much of Europe. And Beamers will be made at the Nissan factories in TN. In collaboration with Mercedes. Etc. Premium German manufacturing will probably survive, just mostly made in the USA..

@@MDLuthier true. However it’s also a case of manufacture in low cost, energy and resource secure location. Expect most Germans to then center In The USA for the next 40 years, (unless Germany is the new ruler of Russia, either directly or by puppet). The next wave of American manufacturing boom is likely to have Germans and Japanese at the helm.
