Zeihan on Geopolitics

Comments by "" (@jonlittle5032) on "Zeihan on Geopolitics" channel.

Extremists groups across the world and across the political spectrum are in favor because governments have failed to provided basic services and voters are looking for solutions - they don't care which side delivers. This could make for an interesting analysis.
45
Most Americans are wrong about the economy, though.
40
The video wasn't about the why, but about the what now.
32
Patrushev's son got a promotion at the same time, and power under Putin isn't necessarily attached to job titles. Need to wait and see where Nikolai ends up.
26
@Leto2ndAtreides That wasn't his point about South Korea. Angering the South Koreans was a consequence, not the intent.
25
@Danne1886 He doesn't work for you, and that isn't the focus of his thoughts. Make your own video.
19
@gagamba9198 I didn't say it wasn't important. It just isn't the focus of this video.
18
@blackcatdungeonmastersfami5311 If Zelenskyy escalated, it was in response to the Russian invasion of his country.
17
@nazcamain The constitution also did not abolish slavery. Not a very good argument, sport.
14
Name other incidents. And Timothy McVeigh doesn't count.
14
@dhunter1133 Libertarians for Islam? Are you serious, sport?
14
@Danne1886 You are right, and you are wrong. I am defending my point of view.
12
And they conducted successful operations around the world. And fielded the bots we keep seeing.
12
TDS isn't a thing, except by trumpets.
11
@loganhoffman5789 Wow. Liberal at 18, FR 23. Impressive life experience. I have hemorrhoids that are more mature.
11
Being the second most popular party doesn't mean it isn't crazy, radical or nasty. Case in point: the GOP.
10
A lot of people objecting to Peter's packing whilst creating the video. Wow. Feels like high school all over again.
9
And the trumpets are never far behind.
9
@TheDa6781 Actually it is.
9
These comments are stale 3 minutes in; Zeihan's comments stay fresh for days.
8
@Withnail1969 No, they HAVE been firing that much artillery, and gained what? Bahkmut? And most of those shells are North Korean. That well is going to dry up.
8
@haveagoodone5830 Do yourself a favor and get a current calendar. The world (including Ukraine) is not the same as it was 8 years ago.
7
@Withnail1969 They've had 6 months to do FOD walks on those runways, sport.
7
@Withnail1969 Again. 6 months. FOD (foreign object damage) walks. Who says the airfields have not been prepped? You?
7
You are ignoring Saudi financing, sport.
7
Shaking hands with the enemy strengthens us against them??
7
@joecomyns5120 Drop the snark and we can talk. Otherwise close the bath door. We don't want to watch a solo routine.
6
You haven't actually critically read the comments, have you?
6
Peter said IF the National Party doesn't do well in France's upcoming parliamentary elections, THEN it would demonstrate the swing to the right in the EU Parliament is a flash in the pan.
6
@SyntaxErr19287 He has already mentioned he doesn't read the comments - for that very reason.
6
Promoted like that cruiser (and a large portion of the Fleet) got promoted to submarine duty.
6
Yep. That is the point Zeihan explicitly makes: Russia is waging war now so it won't have to in 2030. And it isn't five years, sport. The current war started 3 years ago, not yesterday. And it is the ninth country it has attacked in the past couple decades ... as Zeihan said. Rewind, play it again, Samuel.
6
@LTVoyager That's what I said. But, I am entirely sympathetic to the prevalent cognitive deficiency that equates analysis to prophecy.
6
Nope. The context of the video was about 'consequential' decisions; not whether you agree or disagree with the decision.
6
@Withnail1969 Try harder, friend. No one is partaking of your drinks.
6
@teekay_1 Isolated, Russia needs a century to recover. With international support not equaled since the Marshall Plan, Ukraine will need a decade.
6
@Paint-brigade1776 Nope. Wrong party, wrong generation. Keep that elbow up, sport. The outfield fence isn't that far away. You can do it.
6
Let's see ... in the context of this video? uh, how about ... he is not Korean?
5
And, on the flip side, there is the issue of the native populations treating migrants as second class citizens, contrary to Western values.
5
The dark negative is a reflection of the object of the conversation.
5
@Zt3v3 Zeihan has 200k subscribers and videos rarely exceed 500k. He's not getting rich on yt. His business is consulting and does speaking engagements with large corporations and government agencies. And then there are his books.
5
Without sources, there would be no understanding.
5
NK weapons as good as SK?? Unlimited manpower - the logistics of sending them halfway round the world, without the logistic capacity, is a non-starter; and when they leave the peninsula, who is going to protect Kim from SK? Your speculative premises invalidates your conclusions.
5
@Withnail1969 Ukraine has had trained pilots from before the war. They have been training in Western countries on the F-16 airframe for the past year. Plenty of time.
5
@nicoles9077 No. Inflation is the result of disrupted supply chains. It's not a primary color thing. Governmental spending during economic upheavals kept the economy from seizing up like an overheated engine fed the wrong fuel.
5
Ever get a freebie at McDonalds or Burger King? How long have they been in business?
5
@TheSmokinApples Thinking. Alex Jones. Contradiction in intelligence.
5
He was referring to incidents that involved driving a vehicle through a crowd, not mass shootings. Imprecise, yes. But understand the context, sport.
5
That actually makes no sense in the context provided.
5
@BlackbirdArtandDesign Neither is turning a blind eye to their plight. Or even a wide open eye.
4
@BlackbirdArtandDesign The economies of all western nations are suffering from an acute and chronic labor shortage that is decades in the making and will last decades. That causes higher inflation.
4
@blackcatdungeonmastersfami5311 I don't chase pet rabbits.
4
@haveagoodone5830 So, I'm confused. Are you saying nations act in their own best interests? Wow. I'm underwhelmed. Such cognitive ability. And I thought you were just a bridge dweller.
4
Interesting ...
4
3h with JR will turn your brain to mush
4
In the context of this video? Zip.
4
@wescain8754 Zeihan firing Zeihan? Not your channel, sport. Go back to trumpet camp.
4
@SyntaxErr19287 I refute your opinion. 👎
4
Those winters were uncharacteristically mild. This year is forecasted to be more brutal.
4
@Withnail1969 Wrong. Fighter Jet training lasts about 2 years and starts with Basic Flight School, Basic Tactical Flight school and then Advanced Tactical Training. Only then, do they get specific air frame training.Ukrainian pilots don't need the first three.
4
@richardthomas5362 Most people are able to discern, from the context of this video, that Zeihan doesn't have a high opinion of Carter.
4
@Paint-brigade1776 Old argument, sport. America is both. Did you vote in November? They are not mutually exclusive.
4
Zeihan is Gen X so your statement is self-contradictory.
4
Nope. That's not what you said, Danny.
4
@Taylor.B.Martin You're embarrassing yourself.
4
@nicholassmith7984 At what point do we hold the German, er, Palestinian people accountable for their country's leadership? That was not a slip of the tongue.
4
Zeihan on Geopolitics is a brand name, sport.
4
Not going to complain about the failure of the analysis? Oh, wait. He ended up being spot on.
4
@papapavlov5407 He is a free-marketer; he lauds limited government.
4
@teekay_1 LOL. Russia lost the battle for will, men, and logistics long ago. I think we all know it is Putin and Lavrov who have been way over their heads since the start.
4
@HankSemoreButz Being a bully in 3rd grade is not something I would own up to, sport.
4
@JohnSmith-ti2kp The blatant DS in your comment is clearly of the Z specie.
4
@Paint-brigade1776 The name is a nom de guerre, a troll trap that you just sprung, sport.
4
@hermesliteratus882 Keep up sport. His channel supports charities. He make his money elsewhere.
4
@TheAmericanPrometheus Yep. The trumpeteers are a problem. They should start their own channel, maybe put on big black round ears and do song and dance.
4
And ... who raise you sport?
4
@arktseytlin When you prove it for yourself, let me know.
3
@LordRykard9376 Nope. Wrong on all counts, especially the first, but you needed a platform to launch from, eh?
3
@sluggo206 Out of context: if you have a dictator, you don't have voters who can viably choose their leader.
3
@isoldam Again irrelevant. Venezuela was/is not a democracy any more than Russia is. Sham elections do not reflect the will of the people. So, no.
3
@familyguygaming_ Again, not relevant. The actions are when it became a dictatorship and not a democracy, thus invaliding the relevance and importance and meaning of voter participation. Thus negating the argument. Keep trying.
3
@kanukistani2984 Nope. What we need is an electorate that understands politics. We could start with you.
3
In Korea? Not even relevant.
3
@haveagoodone5830 You've put ol' comb-moustache in the wrong column
3
@haveagoodone5830 False equivalency, sport. Try again, this time stay on topic.
3
@haveagoodone5830 You can bow out anytime, sport. I'm not holding you down.
3
@teddypicker8799 Do you know what a turn and burn is? Those figures on average hours maintenance, include things like phased inspections. In war, those numbers go way down. You do phased maintenance and non-red X maintenance when the plane isn't scheduled to fly.
3
You need to use current data, not data that went stale a decade or two ago.
3
@karlvongazenberg8398 How many Iranian drones and missiles did it take to create a couple craters?
3
Yep. That's why most militaries have generals.
3
@klaasvakie Sec. Austin isn't Russian. Are you?
3
Americans (and most everyone else) vote on how the economy is doing; most Americans (and most people) don't understand economics. Or how little impact a president has on the economy; or that most economic behavior is affected by things that span more than 4 or 8 years. But it is good some people try to explain it. Thanks, Peter.
3
Read history books. As Zeihan has been saying for years, there is a long history of that actuality.
3
You don't watch him often. He tends to edit those out.
3
Well, that and factual content needs to be monitored and confronted on an ongoing basis.
3
@Danne1886 I don't do salt. Maybe you should take it off your table. 👎
3
@Danne1886 I didn't say he dodged anything, sport. That's your salt.
3
@RadiusG60 You started off making some good points, and then went for the snark. I'd love to respond, but only when you drop it. 👎
3
@poplar2065 If you want to talk about immigration, start talking about it. All I see is stonethrowing at the man who said that is not what he is talking about.
3
Biden isn't in Europe. This is a video on Europe.
3
@mathurex211 LOL. Oh. Please. More. That is so funny. And you liked yourself, that's so cute.
3
@mathurex211 Yes you did. Right click it. Nice cope, though. Have you calmed down now?
3
@mathurex211 Seriously, Plan A isn't working. What's Plan B?
3
@LordRykard9376 Drop the snark, dude, or stop participating.
3
Given that the hard right often used physical stereotypes, I gotta ask: are you?
3
@LTVoyager Is your question any better than the OP?
3
@BatkoNashBandera774 You are right; I have absolutely no interest in your salvation.
3
ZDS?
3
@scottwhitethebest Are we talking Putin's soldiers fighting in the Donbass without identifying markers? What were they called again?
3
@kosta2177 And what air frames are they going up against? If Russian MiGs are so good, why don't they have air superiority, three years later? Russian Air is no better than Russian Navy.
3
@Really250 Given that the Russians do not understand air defense, I understand your confusion.
3
Sport. Give it up. No one is listening.
3
@vermontsownboy6957 yep. dude needs to replace his hearing aid batteries.
3
Need to look inward for actual symptoms of DS, of the Z species.
3
The rest of us, those who actually understand what he is saying, is only laughing at comments like this.
3
Video is dated Dec 2. Was up on Patreon, sport.
3
Sure he can; remember who his audience is?
3
@milesb2111 No. It is because attack postures are intrinsically more exposed.
3
@dougaltolan3017 Don't count on it, Doug. This one is all mouth.
3
@dougaltolan3017 Watch. He'll come up with something he thinks is clever about being all mouth. It is like discussing something with AI. None of it true, most of it nonsensical, but always rabid. My mistake. He'll key off on that last word. Makes for better gut-twists. Right, sport?
3
You wish.
3
@Koz4concern He doesn't hide the fact that he knows demographics and geopolitics. Wrote the book(s) on it, in fact. Also does work for DoD and private companies and industry organizations who want to know what the future might bring. But you hid that info, didn't you, sport?
3
@PorkusMaximii 'to' or 'too'?
3
Keep trying, trumpet.
3
Try TS. They'll tell you everything you want to hear.
3
The fact that he didn't confirm your biases doesn't make him wrong.
3
A lot of those commentators are part of the trumptrollbrigade trying to shut Peter down.
3
@u2beuser714 You do realize they lost the war, yes?
3
@TJ-Stackin And I am from Rigel IV on a recon mission.
3
My father, who worked for Fairchild in the late 60s, says the point Zeihan is making is the design of the high-end chips, not the ones that go into IoT appliances. You are referencing all design.
3
Beau is not known for analysis that does not further his own agenda. And, did you not see the note in the description? This was recorded before it was announced who replaced him.
2
Nope. Germany's problems started when the Kaiser continued Metternich's policies and interwar politicians ignored the economic catastrophe that their people suffered from. It is not about luck.
2
@ralphee7487 Vietnam does.
2
LOL. More memes from Fox and TS.
2
Why?
2
Yes, an accountant who won't steal and can find money for the war. Other analysts are already calling him the War Economy Minister.
2
Thank god we stopped using sails on ships, eh?
2
@atomiknight Stop squinting. You can see better then.
2
@theShartLord He wasn't commenting on the tragedy, but the context. 3 out of 100,000,000.
2
@ervinvice1521 It's a ten minute video. If you are watching it, you have access to the internet and can do your own research.
2
@PWMoze Fair enough, except when he said 'flash in the pan', he was referring to the context of this particular election. And he said, IF subsequent national elections do not confirm this regional election, THEN it would be a mere flash in the pan, politically speaking. Your statement was a flat contradiction of what he said. I agree the larger movement is not a flash in the pan, nor even an aberration. And I believe he has even said that in other videos, but those videos, again, were a different context.
2
Kinetic is a very common word in politics.
2
@MrR40388 Why, yes it is. It is a democratic republic.
2
Would be curious if the large swings to the right in many countries is a symptom of demographic collapse. Immigration seems to be a hot topic among those looking right.
2
@marktapley7571 Keep swinging, sport. The outfield fence is not as far as it looks. You can do it.
2
most people don't have profile pics. It has been my observation that people with pics are generally trolls pretending to be real people.
2
2. How does America deal with Britain, France, Israel?
2
@ChikungDjsso No. She retired.

@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869 I've been there myself.
2
That's your own outhouse you are smelling
2
After four three years, how come the world's second strongest army is still stuck in the mud?
2
@Jessiejam-44 Nope. His analysis was spot on. You are confusing analysis with conclusions, which are only as good as the data available.
2
Get over it. Trump is set to be the worst and second worst president in history.
2
Another soldier in the trumptrollbrigade who is upset that Peter said bad things about their boy.
2
@jdee8407 No, it's wrong.

2
Trumpets galore!
2
@warfarenotwarfair5655 Nope. Y'alls have ZDS.
2
@ Seems the derangement is coming from the other direction.
2
If you believe that, you do not believe in democracy. Did you listen the rational analysis Zeihan provided?
2
Showing the lights, or lack thereof, was illustrative only. There is this thing called demographics; a lot of numbers - real boring stuff for some people. I guess Zeihan just got tired of exhibiting demographic graphics that, for those who can read graphs, is quite conclusive.
2
Move on.
2
@yapper58 Equilibrium unemployment refers to zero cyclical unemployment, not structural. Unemployment is structural (which is never zero, even in Switzerland) plus cyclical plus frictional.
2
@haraldhardrade7539 It was called 'russia' back then, sport.
2
@spartjovic People need to listen to what he actually said.
2
Is your name really Doug?
2
@richardthomas5362 How?
2
Video was released on Dec 10.
2
@josepheridu3322 loves himself and wants to be first only for himself? sure, sport.
2
@Paint-brigade1776 Who is Francis, sport? So. You said France was a democracy, and now you acknowledge it is a republic, significant or otherwise. How about Russia, sport? Y'alls keep equating Russia to US.
2
If you are looking for the Oracle of Delphi, you don't understand reality.
2
@dawnbogrand4092 The man repeatedly makes clear these are his opinions. And he not only acknowledged his prediction (not prophecy, sport) didn't hit the mark, but explained how he missed the mark. How do you define humility?
2
@SoFunMe Zeihan is NOT a liberal progressive, unless you are MxgX yourself and see every one as LP. His opinions and philosophy are very much old school libertarian.
2
@Withnail1969 Again. You realize no one is drinking with you.
2
@TobiasDuncan Seems to be working just fine.
2
@CentristDad155 No they don't. You are the one saying the older people in the Netherlands are xenophobic. Their facts are saying, contrary to Peter, the young are already conservative, for reasons that have nothing to do with age.
2
@timbo5053 So why do you do that yourself, sport?
2
Use your foot. Or is it otherwise occupied?
2
People having problems with their Z DS again.
2
The problem for Argentina is not Chinese 'interdiction' but what happens when it goes away.
2
@gtbr8134 'Jonny', not 'Johnny'. No 'h'; though I do prefer just Jon. And I am not from Asia, so first name first. On the next pitch, hold you elbow higher - it'll give you more control and strength.
2
I believe his grand strategic plays in the past couple years speak for themselves.
1
@fortyninehike No they aren't. In most western countries, accosting and subverting someone because of prejudice is a violation of their civil rights. In the US, that is a federal felony charge.
1
@LordRykard9376 citizens in the generic sense. All western countries extend basic human rights to all people.
1
@LordRykard9376 Actually, both does. Find an economist.
1
@LordRykard9376 For example, product A costs $10 to make, from wholesale to retail the markeup is 20%. Retail is $12.00. Labor represents 50% of the cost. Labor shortages empower labor, who get a 10% increase. The cost of manufacture is now $10.50, with markup the retail cost is $12.60. That is a $.60 increase. Define inflation.
1
@arktseytlin Stop preening in front of a mirror. I can't help you.
1
@LordRykard9376 Of course. When you are done clowning around and get serious, give me a thumbs up. 👎

@MS-ii1sv Swing and a miss, Casey. Strike duo.

Clearly you see two and only two poles on a single axis. Not very credible, sport..

@Marcg-b4n You might want to put the joint down before commenting. Sport.
1
@Marcg-b4n Lol. Keep swinging, sport. All you've demonstrated is you have a penchant for bullying behavior.
1
It was Trump's patronage to Putin who inspired Putin to believe he could take Ukraine. All Biden did was say, "ah, no."
1
Putin did not need 'invitations' and it is hyperbole to suggest their actions were construed as invitations; it was part of the plan to create a greater Russia from the beginning. Chamberlain did not create the 3rd Reich.
1
@mosellakepoint9088 No, it is an accurate term.
1
The development was done during the Cold War. Just need to reboot.
1
Watch the video beyond the first paragraph. Zeihan addresses those points.
1
@SignalCorps1 Pity you didn't watch the whole video. Clearly a consequence of ZDS.
1
@RichardChappell1 Financial sanctions on associates of terror orgs is generally not considered a military op.
1
@mikethompson3762 Classic example of Z DS.
1
@RichardChappell1 Correct. It is my claim. OP said Zeihan ignored non-military consequences. That is false: Zeihan also discussed financial sanctions. You disagreed with my statement.

1
Let's see ... where is that TFR dial?
1
@TomTomicMic We certainly need a rational discourse on immigration that looks at all sides, not just the scapegoating. Especially in this time of aging demographics, which the consequences is also being completely ignored.
1
Why? Feeling challenged? Did you not listen to why not?
1
Given the actual demographics, that makes no sense. Are you saying there are vastly more 16-18 year olds than Boomers and Gen Xers?
1
Demographics also explains the labor shortage you say doesn't exist.
1
@ Focus. It helps comprehension.
1
@monstroth If you believe in democracy, question why your candidate lost. If you don't, go with the insults.
1
The only migration issue we have is we have a chronic and acute labor shortage that migration could solve.
1
@Withnail1969 You do know both EU and US passed support packages and equipment and material are already being used? Did you not listen to the video? Ukraine has been increasing its barrages. What shortage are you talking about?
1
Those laws you speak of also speak of basic human rights. Basic universal human rights. The only people destroying Western values are the far-right.
1
Seriously, sport?
1
@waynemasters8673 You are an embarrassment to our side.
1
@gifmesome Yeah! I think Putin called them 'threats' at the time.
1
@Withnail1969 When are you signing up for something you believe in?
1
@teddypicker8799 Air power. Huh. Did you watch the video?
1
@teddypicker8799 Wrong.
1
@teddypicker8799 a dozen? against Russia? Ok, maybe that's a little overkill, but, what the heck.
1
@teddypicker8799 Is it 17? 5? 10? y'alls gotta get your stories straight.
1
@teddypicker8799 During exercises (you know, practicing war conditions) sortie rates go way up.
1
@teddypicker8799 A turn and burn is when a fighter comes down, pulls in, and sits and waits while the ground crew reloads and refuels. 10-15 minutes. It's like a pit stop at the Indy 500. No maintenance. So it is relevant and you need to watch Top Gun again, because they never showed a turn and burn. I know, because I watched it at the base theater when it came out. Dam Navy always gets the good movies; all we get is Iron Eagle. "Chappie? Can I fire a missile on the ground?" Half the theater walked it. NO!
1
@teddypicker8799 LOL. DUDE. I was on a turn and burn pit for 3 years. Do NOT tell me what it is.
1
@teddypicker8799 And there is no 'turn and burn' maneuver. Describe it, if you know.
1
@teddypicker8799 DCS?? A video GAME?! Yeah. I'm sorry, dude. 200 hours on a game machine. That beats actual TIG/TIS.
1
@teddypicker8799 Sims do not simulate ground ops.
1
@teddypicker8799 And you accuse me of learning something from a movie that you haven't watched. Classic!
1
@teddypicker8799 You would know, bro.
1
@blackcatdungeonmastersfami5311 That's the best you got? Day old snark? Black Cat Dung is right.
1
@haveagoodone5830 So why, with a navy and an air force, does the Russia navy retreat while Ukraine ships grain from Odesa and Russian AF cannot attain air superiority when you say Ukraine has neither? Evidence? How about results? or lack thereof.
1
@haveagoodone5830 Lots of words that fail to address the observations that the Russian Navy is in retreat and the Russian Air Force can't hold the sky and, after three years, the Russian Army is sill the second best army in Ukraine. Keep trying.
1
@haveagoodone5830 This verbosity tells me y'alls are terrified of what the Ukrainians can do with the F-16s.
1
@haveagoodone5830 Classic. Declare victory and retreat.
1
@haveagoodone5830 F-16s: Coming soon to a theatre (of operations) very near you.
1
@haveagoodone5830 If y'alls are terrified of the consequences, leave Ukraine.
1
@haveagoodone5830 I like the trademark comma at the start of your posts. Very edgy.
1
@haveagoodone5830 If the Falcons are irrelevant, there is no nuclear scenario. Unless the Kremlin wants one. And they don't, so they won't.
1
@haveagoodone5830 I think your last post got bounced. I saw the count go up, and then back down. Shame on you.
1
@haveagoodone5830 Would it not make more sense to disable the Russian's domesday machine? to prevent irresponsible leaders from using the threat of it as a blunt instrument?
1
@haveagoodone5830 By your logic, F-16s in Ukraine threaten to trigger Putin to strike with a nuclear attack. Why are a couple 'ineffective' F-16s the problem, but Putin's blatant threat to push the button is not the problem?
1
@haveagoodone5830 Russia has the same 'concept'. Don't be disingenuous.
1
@haveagoodone5830 Putin or F-16's: Which is the biggest nuclear threat?
1
@haveagoodone5830 It isn't part of US Military Doctrine either. Again, disingenuous.
1
@haveagoodone5830 Putin has repeatedly threatened European cities with first strike; Deployed F-16s threaten only Russian air defense and Russian air force illegally operating in Ukraine territory: which is more dangerous? Vlad or Falcons?
1
@haveagoodone5830 LOL! I undestand your flight. To say that Putin's threats to 'retaliate' with nuclear weapons is not a first strike is, well, typically Russian. Thank you for clarifying your CONTEXT.

@haveagoodone5830 Putin is not threatening mere retaliation; nor is it mere escalation - though both specific actions would be an act of war under international law. What he threatens is first use of nukes. That is a quantum difference from retaliation or escalation, which is the CONTEXT you explained earlier. F-16s are not the nuclear trigger; Putin's finger is.

Bush Sr was from the generation that fought WW2; the last president to do so. Those next 6, those Narcissistic Six (yeah, let's make it sound like a criminal gang) were from which generation? We have no one left from that great generation to make the argument that "tyrants bad". So. Here we go again.

Being Governor has no relationship to being a competent President. Of the 21 Presidents who had some state or territorial executive authority, there are 6 in each of the top 3 quartiles of presidential rankings. There are 3 in the bottom quartile, which only implies executive experience minimizes the chance they aren't a complete failure.

You're right. They have absolutely no problem with South Korea arming Ukraine or Poland. Of course, Putin did invade Ukraine to lock NATO out of Eastern Europe. That worked well.

@matt291 Sorry, sport. You are twisting the metaphor and your interpretation collapses of its own weight. A democracy cannot function with just a single team. What Hegseth et al brings, though, isn't a democracy, so at least that is consistent.
1
It is false to assert independents decide elections. Saying 90 percent of the outliers always votes for the same party is not precisely true; it is not the SAME 90%. And to imply that 'true' independents vote as a unified block is just irrational. For example, the 'independents' did not elect Reagan; long-standing but disaffected Democrats did (being disaffected is not the same as being an Independent). Same with Trump in 2016. And Kennedy won on the strength of new voters; again, that is not what an Independent is.

And your not trump, though you keep trying.

@mikeprel Iran started from scratch. Ukraine has deep history and experience with nuclear tech and science and has a lot of the precursor knowledge and tech already in place. 6 months is realistic for Ukraine and its nuclear development and operational history.
1
@mikeprel Did they take Kyiv in 3 days?
1
@mikeprel No they don't. They never had it, if they did, they would have taken Kyiv, wouldn't have lost Kharkiv or Kherson. And Ukraine forces wouldn't be on Russian soil nor would Ukrainian drones have clear skies for over a thousand miles into Russia.
1
If Russia had air superiority, how did the Ukrainians recently take out their major strategic radar site in southern Russia with drones - the one that is supposed to protect Russia from long-range ICBMs. Russia doesn't even have competent air defense, much less superiority.

Cold weather materially degrades effective combat power, as does a lack of emergency medical equipment and one does not power a lot of 'military' equipment without fuel or electricity.

Adrian, have you ever been on winter field maneuvers without a blanket? And what of the civilians whose loved ones are in combat but lost their home because of the war and there is no heating because the Russians destroyed the power plants? Where does the money for that come from? Is that not a cost of war as well? The Ukrainians certainly think so.
1
I didn't quote Patton, an American general. Patton was famous for outrunning his logistics and had to sit for days, if not weeks, unable to fight until his supply caught up. Napoleon, like most Europeans, understood logistics: "Napoleon came to the realization that if his armies weren't well-fed, or more specifically if "an invaded country was not able or inclined to sell or provide food," his military tactics would be useless."

1
@harleyquinn8202 NATO, collectively and individually decides. If Putin wanted a nuclear war, he would have started it already. We've discounted him. The point is, those planes will not be attacking Russia, they will attack Russian troops in Ukrainian territory, so if Russia responds, it is an unprovoked attack on NATO.

Zeihan criticizes Biden and Obama just as much, sport. Object to that.
1
Toward factual analysis, I know!
1
Still upset about Z's Trump comments?
1
North Korea is using Russia to fight a war in Ukraine??
1
No. Did the USSR and later the US have any problems with the Afghan mountains? And the Swiss had no problems with German air forces and tanks.
1
@SoFunMe Bush as a hero to LPs; now that's funny.
1
@garhent MAGA thinks it is the working class. The real working class is just along for the ride.
1
@sph915 Yes, he said it. And Biden did step down when people he trusted convinced him it was for the best. Trump would never step down; and doesn't trust anyone. And Zeihan said that too.
1
@CharlesCribbs that's the most non-smart reason to stop listening to someone.
1
@crescent4996 Real experts in the comments? Like you? Yeah, ok sport. Check your biases at the door and try to comprehend what he says. You don't have to agree, but vacuous and disparaging comments reflect on you, not him.
1
@crescent4996 Even Dunning and Kruger cringe when trolls misuse their theory. Keep swinging sport. This is mildly amusing.
1
@agata_katherina Everyone is biased to a degree. Even you. Even me. That is why we are blessed with critical cognitive abilities.
1
@Withnail1969 Because they are mostly women and children.
1
@petermagnus9919 No you didn't.
1
@lostirishsoul Yep.
1
@ExploreVanIsle Zeihan isn't doing this for the money; he is a consultant for large corporations and government defense organizations. For the price of a cup of coffee a month, you can get this as they are released. That doesn't even cover the cost of the internet connection and office utilities.
1
@MayDayDevinci No, he is tired of the trolling on a free channel.
1
Peter has always been conservative, but the grey in his beard is making him crotchety.
1
@wisenber Why do you assert open borders and social programs as being mutually exclusive?
1
@wisenber Answer the question. You asserted they are mutually exclusive. I merely asked, why?
1
@wisenber Your 'explanation' assumes open borders do not positively affect the economy. Who built this country? Who propelled this country from a third rate eighteenth century country to the strongest and wealthiest country in the twentieth and twenty-first century?
1
@wisenber Read the whole response, dude. This isn't a cherry tree orchard.
1
@wisenber Quote: There's a finite amount ... open borders means ... less." That cannot be true if open borders have a positive impact, so yes, a static economy is required in validating your statement.
1
@wisenber Not theoretical, just basic math. And your 'evidence' is politics, not economics. So, no, you are wrong. Second lesson for the day: the history of the American Experience also refutes the arguement. From 1620 to the present, immigrants to America created an economic juggernaut. Again, you are picking up overripe cherries off the ground. Open borders good; closed borders creates stale bread.
1
@wisenber 5+3+2 10. Even when compounded, it is still 10.3%. As usual, it is your math that is faulty.
1
@wisenber the percentages are not 'per annum'. they are percentages across decades. Another basic math fail.
1
@wisenber At some point, these basic math errors are going to equate to deliberate misdirection. But that's rhetorics, not math.
1
@wisenber Looked to me GSick provided most of the data; you just massaged it to make a (false) rhetorical point.
1
@henrylicious It's irrational to say other cultures are destroying yours.
1
@Stoddardian What is irrational, paranoid even, is to say you are being replaced.
1
@wisenber LOL. ok yogi. you go with that.
1
@wisenber 5. 3. 2. 10. Black and white, homer.
1
@wisenber basic keyboard navigation. pgup. rinse and repeat.
1
@wisenber Keep swinging, Casey; there's wood in the bat somewhere. I believe in you.
1
@Stoddardian Yep. People of all shapes, sizes and colors. All people. No pods here.
1
@wisenber I troll only trolls.
1
@wisenber Ok, sven. You're pretty good at it yourself.
1
@Stoddardian LOL. Thank you for validating my humanity.
1
@wisenber Yet you keep throwing out the same hook. Catch anything yet?
1
@Stoddardian See? You did it again. Mucho gracias.
1
@wisenber A good fisherman knows when to change their tackle when the hook keeps coming up empty.
1
@wisenber Do you have the competence and confidence to make an argument without the snark? Let's try, shall we? My opening argument: Immigration has a positive impact on the economy and on economic growth.
1
@wisenber Can't do it without the snark, then. Will that be the last one?
1
@wisenber Let me know when you got it out of your system and I'll reply to your point, which, btw, was a good point. But I will not wade through any more 'special sauce'.
1
@wisenber Whenever you are ready ...
1
@wisenber You can't do it, can you? Ok. I'll leave the nortify on, just give me a thumbs up when you are ready.
1
@TheGreatness-gg1jx Nope. Not personal. Zeihan is a free market libertarian. Let's not spread this display of ignorance, eh?
1
The Poles are paying for their own purchases. Surprise, they have a robust economy.
1
If that were true, why is Putin sending hundreds of thousands of Russians to an early grave if all it took was one well-placed missile. Heck. It doesn't even need to be well-placed, and the Russians are good at that.
1
TDS is just a meme for people who can't think for themselves.
1
@ZoubirKabir Sure, sport.
1
For the price of one coffee a month, Zeihan's videos can be seen when released on Patreon.
1
ZDS bots out in force again.
1
@andrewdutton3831 As I have noted elsewhere, Zeihan's comments were about vehicular attacks, not bombs in backpacks or mass shootings.
1
Since Sept 2014, when ISIS made the proclamation that Zeihan quoted, there have been 13 mass killings by vehicular ramming in the world that have been attributed to ISIS or claimed by ISIS: 4 in UK, 1 each in Spain, France, Sweden, Canada, Tajikistan, Germany, and 3 in the US.
1
@chrisbarth2526 and smarter than you.
1
Responding to the headline without watching the video yet: Ah, no. Chinese are more xenophobic than Germany's AfD, et al. China, in Chinese, literally means 'Middle Kingdom', as in, the center of the universe.
1
@JonySmith-bb4gx Nope.
1
@JonySmith-bb4gx Do you understand what 'analysis' is?
1
@jiridrapal7512 What advance? At what cost?
1
@jamescook7713 If you knew simple math, you'd be able to count. But you don't.
1
@dl6519 Tolerance for casualties equals meat waves. So much for hearts and minds.
1
@jamescook7713 She also knows it is a trolltrap. LOL. Try harder sport.
1
@jamescook7713 Oh, she didn't mention that? I wonder why? Are you not on good relations with your x's? Well. That says a lot.
1
@jamescook7713 Basic Dec 1983, Lacklund AFB. Trained at Chanute AFB 1984. Try again, JUNIOR. What is a 42674?
1
@jamescook7713 You are right. P like you needs to know who he is talking to.
1
@jamescook7713 C'mon, JR. Every AF vet is laughing at you. Any one with 30 years TIS will know the answer to my question without thinking about it. Great line from Ghostbusters them song is coming to mind (yes, I saw it when it was first released. You were probably too young to see it.
1
@jamescook7713 Pilot means officer. 29 years means at least full bird. Retired only a couple years ago. Jacking with someone's name is middle school locker room. Flag Officers don't talk like that, disrespecting the service and all; unless they want to lose their pension. So. Graduate from HS yet? What is the answer to the question that every AF Vet knows? Don't bother with the internet; it is a pre-net thing.
1
@jamescook7713 Little jimmy. Why would a retired USAF flag officer belittle someone defending US foreign policy?
1
@Withnail1969 The level of angst from the naysayers is palpable. You do understand how dangerous the Fighting Falcons are to Russia, don't you?
1
@dougaltolan3017 He may be getting paid, but I'm retired.
1
@dougaltolan3017 He's actually better than most. Actually says something. The others think all it takes is to throw trashy insults. Like I said, I'm retired. Heard it all a dozen times.
1
@dougaltolan3017 Nuts. I scared him off. Gonna take a break. Look up about 10 hours, jamescook7713, I think. He was fun. Teenager pretending to be a retired USAF general. I'm still laughing. Take care.
1
@jiridrapal7512 Drop the snark and explain what a force multiplier is, if you think someone doesn't understand it the way you do.
1
@patricebertrand1146 That kind of diplomacy led to the invasion of Ukraine and WW2.
1
@patricebertrand1146 Didn't say that, sport. You did.
1
@patricebertrand1146 Didn't say there was only 2 options. Again, that option is yours to defend or refute.
1
@patricebertrand1146 Definitely an AI-bot. That rejoinder makes no sense.
1
@patricebertrand1146 A conversation requires at least two people contributing relevant comments. When you are ready, give it a try. I'm here all week.
1
Oh, I'm sorry. You are implying he is a shill. That'd be you, yogi.
1
@emceeboogieboots1608 Ah the trumptrollbrigade is here again.
1
@journeyman291 trumpet
1
Communications requires a sender and a receiver. There is nothing wrong with this video.
1
@sugarfatpie1 How is that relevant?
1
@mnorth1351 Because it isn't relevant except to the trumpets upset with some of Zeihan's comments about their leader.
1
@mnorth1351 Given the concerted coordinated attacks since Zeihan pissed y'alls off, you betcha.
1
Doomsday! he says. But. Keep it in perspective. Love the humor.
1
@alquinn8576 Nope. The electorate was not ignorant nor was Biden. It only explains you.
1
@alquinn8576 yep.
1
@25Soupy Zeihan is a libertarian, not a socialist. Try again.
1
@Keyser-z7d Trump has a lot of good policy points too, but that isn't his essence or political appeal. Or his intent.
1
@buildingitAI Emphasis on 'better''. Better for whom?
1
Mandatory vaccinations saves lives.
1
Argentina and Trump are ''excellent'' role models ...
1
Stop the war by forcing Putin to stop his aggression.
1
Immigration: raise quotas.
1
LOL. Demographics favors your wish.
1
@ButterfatFarms Good.
1
@Nylon_riot Part of a family of wasting diseases that includes ZDS.
1
Peter? A dem?? LOL.
1
Ah, here is where the people upset with Zeihan's distaste with Trump have ended up, near the drain.
1
@Paint-brigade1776 Objectively, can you support your subjective comment?
1
@Paint-brigade1776 Pontificating? Who's painted '1776' on their sleeve, sport.
1
@Paint-brigade1776 I feel like you are trying to make a point but can't find the words.
1
@Paint-brigade1776 I know you are trying, sport. Keep swinging. You'll get the rhythm with enough practice.
1
@Paint-brigade1776 Developing your swing requires changing something; there is no improvement by doing the same thing over and over. Try keeping your elbow up, it'll give more control and leverage.
1
@LordRykard9376 Brexit isn't far right; Thatcher was borderline, though, with some of her social policies. But Trump. Dude. Violent protests and attempted insurrections are what define extremist movements.
1
@matthewgaudet8001 No. Anarchy is not on the same spectrum as left-right. Just like fascism. "left" is about change, about opposing the status quo. It does not require government intervention.
1
@spenndoolie That's funny. Since when has Mahers ever been right?
1
Compensation.
1
@gtbr8134 Keep trying, sport.
1
@gtbr8134 btw, I am the ambassador from Rigel evaluating the prospect of Earth's viability for first contact. I specialize in Canadian psychology and am far more conversant with that than you.
1
@RJV9000 Isn't that the same logic used by people who support Trump?
1
@boblately5402 Socialism came out of the works of Marx and Engels, both Germans. Germany is in Europe, not America.
1
Wrong.
1
Russia is the big baddie you say it isn't.
1
The theory of 'conservatizing' of age has never been shown to be real.
1
@blakegoulds8313 Translation: The internet was the child, not the parent.
1
Respect should start with your own post, da?
1
Nope.
1
@rick67hou yep. Your 'trumpets' are as correct politically as those on the left, but neither side can see they are mirror reflections of the other
1
So stop watching.
1
@eamonhannon1103 A beard! I didn't even think of that. Uh, what does that mean?
1
Is that really the best you got?
1
@cmanlovespancakes Good point. Got another?
1
Defining imperialism as strictly political deftly ignores that commercial (economic) power is not officially part of the government. American imperialism, especially by critics, is often defined as the actions of corporate American, which Zeihan ignores.
1
Zeihan is not trying to hide his disdain, he is just expressing what most of us here feel.
1
@ Most of us would.
1
@prestoncrocker119 Trumpetbots don't count
1
@prestoncrocker119 Keep swinging, sport. You'll need better than that.
1
@Withnail1969 You mean the 1/4 million Russian young men who fled the country last year?
1
Yep. The rest of us have evolved and moved on.
1
@xdhwowbob Not the point, sport.
1
Answer your own question please: how accurate are North Korea's missiles? All I see is a bunch of 'ifs'. If aliens attack next month, this is all irrelevant.
1
"OklaHOMa??! Get a rope."

Deep breath, sport, and get over it.
