  1. Trump threatened to withdraw from NATO and said he believed Putin. He has already said he could negotiate and end to the war. Don't see a hard military response from trump.

  2. Not massively expensive. Airfares and accomodation. His hobby is walking which is cheap

  5. Correct Russia has natural resources which it is happy to trade. Occupying Russia does change that. Putin living in the past. Nobody wants to emigrate to Russia

  6. Ukraine is like battle of bulge. If he doesn't work it hastens the end of Russia.

  7. The vote was fifteen years ago.

  8. Not a US centred video. Biden is president and he talked to Turks. If different president he would still have reported. Look at it another way. Hard to talk glibal politics and pretend the us president doesn't exist.

  11. I think he is looking ahead. mbs is weakening link with USA Keeps going and USA may no longer provide security. Note mbs providing massive support for Putin. First time in history that Saudi does not back USA against Russia. In long term Iran could become democratic non theocratic state that is ok with USA. Saudi is then on its own if they keep slapping USA in the face

  12. Amazing that people can listen to this video and then carry on comments totallt ignoring the content. The key point i took away is no scarcity of oil on private land. Therefore federay Nd government not a mJor factor in production. However if your narrative is anti federal and biden you should ignore zeihan video because it doesn't fit.

  13. Single mother Poor home to university including scholarship to Oxford. Was smarter than most presidents. Most presidents are born rich and go to good schools and get average degrees.

  14. Japan has wealth to support old people. China does not.

  15. Saudi used to pretend to be our friend. Current government has put the boot ib and restricted oil supply to support Russia and to teack ysa a lesson. If you refuse to act like a sycophant they will punish you.

  17. Canada is entertainment for conservative Americans. Which Canadian in charge has little geopolitical significance

  19. ​ @TheBitter73 balance is getting harder Modern wac requires soldiers to think and act independently. However you still need a control to do things that are dangerous for individual but necessary for mission. Look at combat footage from Ukraine. Those guys are in small teams and are thinking all the time Unquestioning obedience is not enough

  20. Would have liked peter to say a few words on wht those deals were bad.

  21. The deal with lithium battery for central storage. When a lithium battery can no longer hold 70% if charge it is bi good for car. However still good for stationery purposes.

  22. ​ @coberling base approval on plans submitted. Maybe look at factors not included in the plans. Other stakeholder's. You can save money if the oil companies submitted and approved their own plans.

  23. ​ @careylymanjones run TV ads to give impression that they are cleaning up Oil producing states are full of old polluting infrastructure that the companies have lobbied states so that they don't clean them up.

  29. Already happening. Will happen in next decade unless china changes it's way. Xi is demonstrating that not friends and he will pay. The price. West is growing back bone and putting on muscle. Putin woke the west.

  30. Most if world has turned corner eith the exception of africa and maybe India

  31. ​ @krystofon various models. Russia was crooks in government working with money men in USA to rob the country. Poland did it different. And pretty successful. It is doable. The Cuban refugees are mostly dead if very old. Property list is exaggerated. Only 1% if Cubans would have owned much Reality is compensation would be a tiny fraction of economic benefit. Europe and USA would economically aid Cuba to transition. The benefits of not having an anti American neighbour would be a huge bargain.

  32. Never as big a problem as in media. Exist around the world just China is cheaper. Idiot xi has woken the west and those other mines are being restarted

  39. Russian advantages are being reduced. Tanks no longer overmatch. Artillery no longer. Armoured vehicles no longer. Artillery munitions Russia still overmatch. Ukraine is hitting supply chain. Europe shell production is slowly ramping up. Russia still has air force overmatch. However first dozen f16 are flying but not at the front. In another year Ukraine will double and will treble pilits and support capability. Thmire pkanes will follow

  47. I think you the three thousand comment to make this point. Didn't happen. Conflated several speeches The only time the Europeans laughed uncomfortably was when trump claimed to best president ever. They were not sure if it was a joke The other time was a few guys at back of large hall laughibf T something on phone. Amazed that snowflake used to well used insult by right. Now the right plays the flake card repeatedly

  48. Tropical Vegas caused the revolution

  49. Democrats are good at lining up perfect opposition to trump. Hilary was perfect for him. Biden is perfect.

  50. Good thinking. Move to social democracy like Germany. A little bit of free enterprise would go a long way. Cuba should be a major good exporter but needs to free farms from socialism. Even Russia is a good exporter since communism died.
