Comments by "Emmett Keyser" (@emmettkeyser1110) on "Zeihan on Geopolitics" channel.

  1. He always feels the need to talk disparagingly about Trump as if we don't already know what he thinks about Trump and also as if Trump hasn't been accurate on a number of European issues. It's always in absolutes like "Trump is the least informed...." "never in American history has a president..." and yet we have Biden who can't navigate his way around a podium.

  2. Peter couldn't have had a more abstract and detached explanation than the one he just gave. It's not rocket science - political rhetoric is absolutely hyperbolic to the point where it is hard for the general populous to distinguish it from what someone would hear in times of civil war.

  3. Because it is weird.

  4. Neither. Maybe try action.

  5. Exteremely disappointing that Zeihan would say that JD Vance is a Russian apologist. Zeihan is losing credibility when he makes statements like that. He's say something like that and for the last 3+ years all he has ever said is that Russia has no alternative to attacking Ukraine, it's perfectly understandable, and that he almost can't blame them. Make it make sense.

  6. Danes: "Greenland is for Greenlanders" Also Danes: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, we will never let Trump negotiate with Greenlanders"

  10. Molten salt reactors and thorium fuel are the future not SMR. Higher burnup, less and short lived waste (hundreds of years not tens of thousands).

  11. So if I understand the sentiment here from you and those who replied.....you want to feel safe but you feel guilty feeling safe and you want someone else to make you feel safe but you don't want to do what it takes to make yourself feel safe. Got it. Maybe try not looking a gift horse in the mouth. The US has absolutely provided the world with a significant degree of security and economic growth over the last 80 years. The US is now looking inward because we feel the world has exploited our good will and we no longer want to pay for everyone else's security. We have plenty of problems at home and it should come as no surprise that citizens of a nation are interested in stability and economic prosperity at home first, elsewhere second. Yes, occaisionally we've made strategic blunders. Everyone wants perfect. Perfect does not exist. So, feel free guaranteeing your own security. You will soon find out that it is more difficult to achieve that than you think. In short, you are being naive.

  21. And yet despite the Soviets having copies and being able to reverse engineer designs of western tech they never even came close to being able to mass produce these designs, creating better ones, or building a fully integrated technology ecosystem and economy. It's more than just IP.

  22. You can’t. Anyone who tells you otherwise is delusional. At the very BEST it’s a probability game who is crossing and where they originated and under what circumstances they are crossing.

  23.  @chuckhoyle1211  in what context? I don’t think I disagree w your sentiment although tbh not sure if I know exactly. If you’re saying that everyday Americans are struggling I don’t disagree. Maybe I’m wrong but I interpret your comment to suggest that open borders put a lot of people on welfare. I think you underestimate the lengths to which politicians will continue to kick cans down the road both in terms of tax burden, deficit, welfare, etc.

  24.  @MoonayMultipliar  What problems do we have? Compared to Europe we're doing pretty good. Don't even start on natural disasters - y'all going to lose that argument before it even begins.

  26.  @sdr24  To be clear - this isn't what I'm saying. This is what PZ has been saying - or at least insinuating. I've read and watched him enough to know that's his understanding of the Russia geopolitical situation. There is a vanishingly thin line between what PZ is saying about Russia and "Russia apologist".

  27. Meanwhile our welfare system keeps people from getting back in the workforce by design. A lot is already being done to keep labor shortages in place.

  29.  @chuckhoyle1211 the us has been a welfare state since at least the sixties. We’ve had open borders for at least 30 years.

  32. @ did I say it was for free? the world didn't pay for it "dearly" - it benefited. You can't have it both ways saying it was/is good for the world and then claiming it is bad. which is it?

  33.  @michaelhughes7706 you gotta remember we have trade deals already and can’t throw those partners under the bus not to mention they are treaties.

  34. @ The concept was validated with MSRE in the early 60s with both U235 and then with U233 (Thorium). It's not theory. What you're talking about is the in situ conversion and separation of Th to U and this has also been well researched.

  35. @ lol those are not SMR. Those are just small PWR....so SR if you want. Nothing modular about them.
