I have heard Peter Zeihan speak on Ukraine and Russia almost weekly since before the war began. This is the first time I have heard him state he believes there will be a nuclear exchange with Russia before this is over, whether Ukraine wins or loses.

That's not what he said. He elaborates more in other talks, but he said if Ukraine loses, Russia will then push farther beyond Ukraine, and that WILL become a fight with NATO which Russia will starkly lose, and that will lead to a last resort nuclear exchange initiated by Russia. All of this is to explain why it's so important to prevent a Ukrainian loss and to prevent that awful scenario.

@@cwpo1973 I have also heard him say many times that a victory over Ukraine would bring Russia into direct conflict with NATO. Perhaps it was just a different choice of words but I have never heard him say that a conflict with NATO ipso facto entails a nuclear exchange. I have heard him say previously that in a direct conflict with NATO he viewed the use of nuclear weapons by Russia to be unlikely because it would bring the full military force of NATO against the Russian regime that would all but guarantee the end of life for most or all of the power circle around Putin on a very personal level. (Basically Putin knows he is dead if he ever used a nuke) But here Peter said quite starkly: “there will be a nuclear exchange”. That to me is sounds like shift in his assessment of the risk, a change in his view of Putin’s propensity to use nukes to bring the war to NATO or even a change in his view of the likelihood of NATO to retaliate with nukes after a Russian first strike.

I think he is right about globalism decreasing, at least without a huge leap in some form of tech. Definitely right about demographics. However I think he has bought his own kool-aid a bit. Pessimism is generally right about general things and very wrong about personal things. Overall tough times ahead, but America is too invested into the global system to just stop caring about it.

@buddermonger2000

Energy and heat does not industry make. Remember that the reason they had enough leftover stock for the winter was that they lowered industrial production to prioritize those for the citizens. Great for living conditions, terrible for industry, and continued economic growth. Now, because of that, energy costs in Germany are simply significantly higher for industry. Most industry can not run at the scale that it did before the sanctions. Like someone else said, those petrochemicals are vital, and so BASF is now in Louisiana to try to ship it back to Germany. That is not an optimal model and shows that stuff is probably going to shrink. Coal also means that there is no green transition. The only thing is that national collapses do not necessarily imply that a country simply goes off the map or something like that. Even if the German economy completely broke and they had a crunch of 50% reduction in GDP, people would still live lives and they'd probably have power etc. Even in wars when the government surrenders and the whole country is occupied so the country is removed from the map, the people are still there and they live their lives. They will still go to work, hang out with friends, go to bed, the whole nine yards. It doesn't mean what you think it means.

First interview of this type I've seen that had "y'all" in the intro.

There it is! Investors.

Major conflicts, tensions, and now war in recent history are most often if not exclusive to Democracy versus Autocracy/Dictatorship. Putin sees the chronology of Democracy's spread (Arab Spring, Ukraine, etc.) and cannot allow this to happen in his country (a small version was attempted during the last Russian "election"). His concept of power cannot exist within a Democracy. Hence, this is not so much a USA or NATO versus Russia - although these are the rally cries from the Kremlin - as much as the expansion of Democracy versus Russian Autocracy. Zeihan speaks to the logistics of Russia's strategy for security, but their concept is steeped in how countries have changed and are changing in the past 20 years. For those who try to understand Russia (not sympathize) by "blaming" the bordering threat of NATO, one must first conclude how many countries has NATO attacked (offensively), annexed, or empirically colonized? None, ever. Even if Russia wins, imagine how crippled they'll be at wars end. Peter explains how bad they are at conventional warfare and how human numbers are their only non-nuclear strategy. Imagine a vulnerable Russia at wars end, even if they win against Ukraine - where Poland could easily defeat Russia's residual military in short order......this is where Russia's nuclear weapon use becomes most dangerous, in my opinion.

So if Ukraine loses there will be a nuclear exchange, now explain how there won't be one if Russia loses. Please tell me one possible scenario that doesn't end in a nuclear war.

I think main reason Putin hasn’t used nukes is because he’s yet to figure out a plausible “victim” narrative. No doubt that he’s certainly working on one.

@xfactorb25222

Ukraine exhausts the Russian military, they make up an excuse (that everyone will pretend is real, I'm fine with it too) that the "special military operation" has succeeded and reached all it's "goals"... and as another "goodwill gesture" to their fellow slavic brothers, THEY prefer to end this senseless killing "caused" by the west. They will pretend the defeat is a compassionate withdrawal on their terms, Ukraine will probably have to give up Crimea, then Putin can sell a "victory" to the sheep and remain in power. Maybe give up some territory in the Donbas as well. Ukraine can then move on to being part of the west. Some similar scenario is what I expect. It will be a defeat, but a way he can sell it to his people is the balancing act we have to figure out. Most Russians are apolitical, They'll just take Putin at his word. Ukraine, sadly, may have to accept some land loss...until down the line, and get it back from new leadership and a lift of sanctions, after Russia is collapsing.

It's wondeeful to see a really intellectual and focused discussion on Ukraine/Russia war. Beyond the internal ramifications of each country but the effect on global economics. The world has become a lot more complex in the last 50 yrs requiring different approaches and strategies in solving world problems. However, I highly doubt that the average Ukranian is thinking of anything other than getting Russia out of Ukraine and ending the war. That should be the focus of the West. All of this talk about resources is fine and there's no doubt that corporations like Haliburton or even countries are trying to figure out how to game the situation. We can't deal with everything at once so let's deal with the current threat first. There's no getting around the fact that this is a war between political ideologies no matter how you sugar coat it.

Same with geothermal in the Western US. Of course, we know the story of fracturing to extract oil and natural gas in the US and Canada. Etc etc. I'm sure there's a similar story for Australia.

I thought of that months ago, though I am not sure how far to take this analogy. The USA won its independence, from the mother country that didn’t think it was a separate nation, with the help of England’s arch enemy, France and 30 years later fought the War of 1812, to keep it’s independence. Now, England is our closest ally. Ukraine declared its independence in the early 1990’s, with the help of Russia’s ‘archenemy’ and 30 years later is fighting again against Russia. Who will be it’s closest ally in the future? The sad part is that America’s foreign policy is run by the same people who gave us 20 years in Afghanistan with what result. Our debt will eventually have its reckoning.

Rebuilding Ukraine will not not be easy.

Daniel struck me as idealistic. But his heart is in the right place. I agree with Peter and the last words he used were eye opening (go back and listen) maybe chilling. I don’t know what Putin was thinking when planning this war. Did he think the United States was falling apart? That’s silly we are always bitching. But the minute we hear the star spangled banner (national anthem) and see the American 🇺🇸 flag everyone stops and holds their right hand over their heart. We do this right before every sports game. Grade school, high school, college and professional sports. You people in other countries need to know that. And the song we sing comes from the war of 1812. Freedom is very deer to Americans. We just remember what happened in World War Two and we don’t want another one. So I hope Putin refrains from going nuclear. That would be disastrous for his country. That was what Peter was alluding to. Sorry to make this so long.

Many of Peter Zeihan's arguments are weak. Russia doesn't need the geographic gateways now as it did in the past. Modern missiles make those arguments moot. Also, Peter over and over disregards "current materials science" and "separation science". He also underestimates the threat of climate catastrophe for Russian and Chinese agricultural independence and their ability to feed their very own populations. Peter is so "anti-green" that he gives away his bias and sponsorship. I love his thinking but we must analyze his premises and we must ask for his detail data...is that too much to ask?

China does not have agricultural independence. They import over 70% of the fertilizer needed to produce. If that supply chain collapsed they would be in serious trouble. Modern missiles can reach over defensive positions but at some point an army has to cross the field and take possession of them.

Zeihan's analysis doesn't take into account that Russia might not be autocratic and paranoid forever, much less over the next ten or even two years. The dire situation in which Russian resources are denied to the West is, transitory. Things change. How long can the Russian empire survive being isolated from Europe and the free world nations allied with Europe and the U.S.? Like China, any chance Russia has for further, much less advanced development, depends on partnerships with Western wealth and innovation.
