  1. He was convicted of election interference. Your average Joe would absolutely do time for this.

  4. Election interference is the crime.

  5. Hmm. I see no evidence that Germany is "in play." To the contrary, the government is actively and loudly preparing the population and the business community for the coming squeeze. This take that Germany is in thrall to the Russians because of Nordstream comes across as sensationalist melodrama. But maybe I'm missing something?

  12.  @johnpombrio  : Agreed. On both points. #1 being that everybody has been predicting this for ages. It's no different than climate change. But Peter has his unique way of capitalizing on these eventualities. Which I guess is worth ... something?

  13.  @isldstormhawaii4084  : I'm not talking about obvious eventualities, I'm talking about the hubris of putting time-frames on them, and being disingenuous about the facts you use to support the time-frames. Fact is, the Russians not only have a shitload of storage capacity, but China is hooking up and sucking way more than---. At any rate, I mean no ill will. I'm glad to see so many citizens interested. I'm glad for Peter's role as a popularizer. But credibility is a BIG DEAL nowadays. More than it's ever been. Peter's on our side. Our side has to have standards.

  14. The only reason Russia is slowing deliveries is to deny Europe (esp. GER) the ability to fill its reserves. Has zero to do with Russian storage capacity.

  15.  @Green_Moon77  : It's not happening at all. The Russians are throttling supply so that the Europeans can't refill their reserve capacity. Zero to do with Russian storage capacity or having to cap wells.

  16.  @Green_Moon77  : Dude, don't take that fucking tone with me. I have no doubt that Russia will collapse, and sooner rather than later. Tell me to read some history 🙄. Russia is fucked. Zeihan frequently gets out over his skis with sensationalist nonsense. Both of these are true.

  18.  @robertmichon5448  : Yeah, but he's also a bit of a straight-up fabulist, e.g. spouting wildly inaccurate assessments of the latest COVID-19 variants. You have to take his near-term info (never mind predictions) with the tiniest grain of salt.

  21.  @kezw2669  : Yes, Russian police etc are incompetent and arrogant. As usual.

  22.  @pshh-pshh  : When you get a warning from several intelligence agencies about an impending attack on concerts, YOU RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. Unless you're incompetent and arrogant. Like the FSB.
