Comments by "William Warren" (@wbwarren57) on "Could Jet Ski Bombs Change the Way Navies Operate? || Peter Zeihan" video.

Peter does not know much about naval history obviously! Back in the early 1900s, it was thought at one time that torpedo boats were going to defeat large service ships. Torpedo boats traveled very quickly, are hard to hit and of course they had people on them who can steer them intelligently towards their targets. However, torpedo boats did not displace large surface vessels at that time. In World War II, the United States tried PT boats and the German Navy tried Schnell boats, but neither one of those innovations was a decisive weapon. This video is a great example of how Peter predicts the future without knowing much of about the past, which makes him extremely dangerous to listen to. This is also a great example of how Peter does his “best“ thinking when he is camping at high altitudes where his brain is not getting enough oxygen.

@suvrajyotigupta2368 Thank good ness we live in the World of Peter Zehin where history need not be taken into account! I may not be able to respond to your comments for a while because I'm going to hiking to high altitude where my brain will be better able to understand the Master's deep thought (i.e., where my brain will be starved for oxygen).

@Quickshot0 Good points. My problem with Peter Zehin is that he frequently makes bold, sweeping, dramatic, absolute, easy-to-digest, (and thus very tasty to the uninformed minds he targets) predictions about the future with little or no historical context. Your comment includes MUCH more historical context than Peter's spewage on this subject and, thus, is worthy of serious consideration. (BTW: "spewage" is my new copy-written term and requires permission for others to use! I anticipate it will soon be as popular as the term "truthy"!)
