  1. "holding pattern in Ukraine!" what a joke. Avdivka the greatest fortress on the entire front is collapsing under a huge Russian assault. The 3rd Azov, Ukraine's best unit retreated without orders. Zeihan is so full of BS

  2. He's a propgandist, he doesn't do sources.

  3. One of the good arguments for Brexit was the EU's special interests

  4.  @lemontec  Depends how you define "didn't work". No it's not a magic solution but it helps. The Russian birth rate now is similar to the birth rate of white people in the USA.

  5. he doesn't do details

  6. Ukrainian ministry of truth

  7.  @User-54631  Usually and certainly in this case "think tank" = propaganda outlet

  8. The objective should b e contain the damage and stop a nuclear war. Bleeding the bear just means the a new cold war and the bear will have its revenge at length. Victory for Ukraine is obviously impossible unless you define victory as survival in a diminished form.

  9.  @Reasonable6  It's not far from a false flag. The only reason for them being (illegally) in Syria is as bait.

  10.  @alka7145  He talks as if it's an expert but mispronounces the names of famous people and places in French, German, Ukrainian and Russian. It's a huge red flag.

  11.  @milospavlovic7520  You can't drain the swamp by appointing swamp monsters

  12. I was impressed first time I saw Zeihan speak. Later I heard him talk about something I know something about and I realised he's just making it up. Slick delivery, crude propaganda.

  13.  @loganhoffman5789  Like in the Kosovo war

  14.  @jorgeenchilada  You think US educational standards are as high as in Russia? PISA says Russia is higher by several places. Russian universities are pretty good, they're academically elitist and cheap. And not infected with PC.

  15.  @JasperKlijndijk  No it didn't - the British army did run low on heavy artillery shells in the first year of the war but definitely not the first week.

  16. Yeah he's a blatant neocon propagandist. For example saying Russia ignored the missile treaty without telling you the US never ratified it.

  17. Brexit didn't make it worse, Britain had the highest growth of any large European country for most of the period of the Brexit negotiations. Lock downs, structural deficit spending and general public sector incompetence are more than enough to explain the financial dysfunction in Britain as of 2024.

  18.  @Nathan-ls4xt  And the German tax payer is funding NGOs which tug these boats from Africa to Italy :-0

  19. Ukraine has done plenty of assassinations of journalists and commentators in Russia. And the US assassinates people all over the place. Israel has just done an air strike assassination in Syria. Trump boasted about assassinating Soleimani. But double standards are par for the course with Zeihan.

  20. His track record of predictions is pretty dismal - he talks very confidently but when he's talking about something you know a lot about it's obviously he's full of BS
    3
  21.  @FishandHunt  If that were actually true, Ukrainian missiles and drones would have destroyed the Kerch bridge by now.
    3
  22. The Turks have already made a deal with the Russians. Zeihan is either out of date or just doesn't know
    3
  23. Nothing says I'm a geopolitical expert like mispronouncing the names of important people. His pronunciation of Russian leaders is just as bad.

  24.  @SmokestackOG  I've lived in USA lived in a few European countries, almost all US food is full of chemicals, highly processed. Cheese especially is basically plastic. There's no comparison. The federal government cares more about big business lobbyists than the health of the population. It's a broken system. I'm not criticising the US in general, love the first amendment, love the second amendment but just admit it, your food is broken.

  25. Nah he's just as bad on geopolitics too. His takes on the Russia Ukraine war are blatant propaganda.

  26. Zeihan doesn't do details.

  27. I come here for comedy entertainment.

  28.  @maxpower3990  Yet it wasn't the Russians who admitted the Minsk II accords were signed as a pretext to rearm before resuming the fighting. It was Poroshenko, Hollande and Merke.

  29.  @jonathanpuigvert7468  In Britain they have access to council housing and the NHS immediately. Asylum seekers are housed in hotels costing over ten billion per year.

  30.  @nathanielhunter1280  Appears this has happened now in Ukraine. Earlier on Ukraine had the drone advantage, now Russia's EW is jamming most of the Ukrainian drones while the Russian lancets roam freely.

  31. Turkey and Greece are both in NATO.

  32. If you've got old junk and you're fighting a major war of course you're going to use up the old junk.

  33.  @Pyriold  He's a blatant propagandist for the CIA / state department perspective
    3
  34. The people who set up Bolshevism in 1917 were not ethnically Russian. You should look into that period a bit deeper.
    3
  35. He also said there's no rail connection to Mariupol which is obviously BS
    3
  36. That's optimistic. Russia has large reserves they haven't committed yet and Ukraine is already at breaking point. We're starting to see large Russian territorial gains now without evidence of high Russian casualties. A lot has changed in the past two months.

  37. LOL have you never heard of Seymour Hersh?
    3
  38.  @TrendyStone  Look into it. Zeihan/Friedman/Barros - Neocon propaganda
    3
  39. He's actually wrong. People have more children when conditions get a bit tougher. It's not intuitive but apparently comfortable modern life does not inspire people to have many children.
    3
  40. LOL it's undiluted propaganda. For example claiming Mariupol can only be supplied by road - er no there's a railway there now and onwards up to the front. And he didn't mention Avdivka which is likely to fall in the next couple of months, that's pretty huge.
    3
  41. "You can't make them part of the leadership" - what?? Shoigu isn't ethnically Russia. In Soviet times, ethnic Russians were UNDERREPRESENTED in the leadership.

  42.  @strigoiu13  The guy is an apologist for genocide
    3
  43. Yes that's exactly the Washington attitude
    3
  44. Cool. Now do a video about Gonzalo Lira's death in prison
    3
  45. LOL this is fantasy. Didn't you see the incredible welcome Putin got in UAE? Blinken got close to ignored. After Ukraine is finished up, Russia is back in the Middle East in a big way.

  46. It's good to know what the CIA/State Dept want us to believe
    3
  47. I'm not sure what he actually knows about at all. The first time I heard Zeihan I was impressed then I heard to talk about subjects I knew something about and it was obvious he was competely ignorant. But he does have a very confident and slick delivery. I'm sure it makes him a lot of money telling the US establishment what they want to hear.
    3
  48. Yeah Trump is a seriously flawed and unlikeable character but he has one huge thing going for him, he's not the Washington establishment.
    3
  49. Yeah it's a blatant smear. So he's white. Why is this a problem? He's from South Africa. Why is this a problem? The real reason Zeihan hates Musk is because Musk stood up to government censorship.

  50.  @randomname3109  Yes, that's true, by international standards, he's pretty clean. Cleaner than Biden if we're being honest.
