@daniele81 The US isn't aligning with Russia. The negotiation process has barely begun. It's more likely Trump will provide weapons to Ukraine that nobody even considered, now that Putin betrayed the negotiating process by trying to gain ground just as Trump is aiming to end the war. Remember that Trump is the only President who sent weapons to Ukraine prior to 2022. A huge fact that the media and Zeihan refused to acknowledge.

@brendarobinson2538 RCAF barely has half the required pilots to man its fleet of clapped-out Hornets, not even capable of maintaining defense of Canadian airspace, let alone fulfilling NORAD and NATO commitments. Keep in mind these are Hornets that were sold to Canada.....during Reagan's first term. Not even kidding.

@Ryan-ff2db How do you figure the US is on Russia's side? See my post above about the 4 ways Trump crushed the Russian economy and military in his first term. No other US President has come close to hitting Russia as hard as Trump.

The reality is the soviets penetrated the US system already dating back to the 1920s. Many of the institutions and "safeguards" Zeihan talks about became subversive elements for the Soviets at their inception. The CIA, USAID, and Mockingbird are prime examples of that. FBI was compromised out of the gate by organized crime even when it was the BOI in 1908, and the Soviets piggy-backed onto that by the 1920s. OSS was seeded with Soviet moles, who went on to serve as senior leaders in the CIA. They even recruited Stansfield Turner, who later became DCI. Zeihan is 100 years late to the party on Soviet penetration and subversion of US institutions. Most of the college professors Peter studied under were working for Soviet active measures programs and are ideological Marxists.

@Ryan-ff2db How do you factor these 4 realities into your theory: 1. Trump energy policy crushed Russian GDP growth. 2. Trump unleashed the might of US Air power on Putin's Wagner battle group, after it attacked US Commandos in Syria near Khasham, Feb 2018. 3. Trump Javelin and large weapons FMS to Ukraine starting in March, 2018. 4. Trump threatening Germany with NDAA sanctions over Putin's Nordstream 2 pipeline in 2019.

@Quetzietse The negotiations have barely just begun. Putin demonstrated extremely bad faith by trying to take more ground during these opening talks, after he was thrown a bone. Now he'll have to find out once again, since he FO'd. The last time he FO'd with Trump, they stacked scores of Russian body bags and the morgues in Russia from his Wagner battle group from Syria.

@AaronBoone-x6c Enter in the facts about US energy policy under Trump vs Russia, Battle of Khasham, FMS to Ukraine with all the Javelins and hundreds of millions of $ in weapons sold to Ukraine in his first term, and Trump’s anti-Nordstream 2 pipeline policy against Russia and see what Grok says. Garbage-in, garbage-out.

@DoloresJNurss For someone who is so in tune with geopolitical events, it is very suspicious that Peter doesn't talk about Trump foreign military sales to Ukraine 2018-2019, especially the Javelins. All prior US Presidents worked hard to disarm or deny Ukraine weapons. Then you have the Battle of Khasham in Feb 2018, where Trump authorized US forces to annihilate Putin's armored battle group (2 armor battalions, Artillery, combat engineers), after they attacked US forces without provocation. Trump also fought to get Germany to cease with Putin's Nordstream 2 in 2019. Trump also collapsed Russia's economic growth with US energy policy. Peter is ignoring major indicators that utterly eviscerate his TDS, and he's in a unique position to notice and compile them, but refuses to. Why?

@AaronBoone-x6c Joe Rogan has all walks of life on his show. You know the negotiations have just barely begun, right?

@thoreauvian.2699 Have you ever wondered why Peter didn't focus on or even mention the battle of Khasham in 2018? Have you ever wondered why he fails to mention that Trump is the only US president that sent weapons to Ukraine prior to 2022, right after the Battle of Khasham? Trump energy policy and its effects on Russia's economy? Trump crushing the Nordstream pipeline deal?

4 easy ways to debunk this garbage: 1. Trump energy policy (crushed Russia's GDP growth) 2. Trump smashing the Nordstream pipeline deal 3. Trump countering Putin's attack on US forces in Syria with utter annihilation of the Russian Wagner armored battle group in Feb 2018, at the Battle of Khasham. 4. Trump sending Javelins to Ukraine the next month, and months following from March 2018-2019 with huge FMS packages.

@lithium84 It’s funny how he ignores the fact that Trump is the one who sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Javelin Anti-Tank Missiles and CLUs to Ukraine in March, 2018, right after Trump had US forces annihilate Putin’s Wagner-led Battle Group in Syria that had attacked US forces without provocation. It’s also interesting that he ignores Trump’s smashing of the Nordstream pipeline deal, where Germany was being influenced to become even more reliant on Russian oil. It’s also odd that he doesn’t talk about how Trump energy policy crushed Russian GDP growth, making Putin’s prospects of staging the invasion of Ukraine near-impossible. It wasn’t until Putin had a year of Biden energy policy that he could build up and stage with strategic encirclement of Ukraine, and Zeihan said Putin will successfully take Ukraine in a matter of a few weeks. Trump’s Javelins proved Peter wrong, and ruined Putin’s plans. Zelensky also didn’t play along with Putin/Biden’s plans to extricate him from Kiev, which left a functioning leader in-place to negotiate and coordinate the fight against Russia’s invasion.

@bittinkerer6241 How do you explain: Nordstream Battle of Khasham FMS to Ukraine US energy policy All of those hurt Russia in ways no US President has ever done.

@stevemonteleone9537 Even within the stated top 16 priorities of the Democrat party, foreign policy is nowhere to be found. The vast majority of US citizens have already voted. In both parties, the common interests are economy, jobs, energy prices, affordable Healthcare, affordable homes, food, infrastructure, strong defense.

@whatthef911 One of the main things Putin didn’t want to happen in Ukraine was Ukraine plugging into Western sources of weapons, as a natural byproduct of normalizing trade relations with the Eurozone. That’s what really kicked this all off. Ukraine voted 79% to normalize trade with EU and get some value injected into their economy like Poland did, rather than be stuck under the Russian boot and dealing with near-worthless Rubles. That’s when Putin forced his puppet, Yanukovych, to sign his Russia-Eurasia Economic Pact in Dec 2013, kicking off the Euromaiden protests. Putin then had ANTIFA-like agitators posing as protestors trying to instigate violence against Ukrainian police/security. When it didn’t work, he had snipers fire into both groups in early 2014 to cause chaos and try to corrupt the protest movement. When his efforts failed, Yanukovych ran away. Putin had Elena Baturina wire $3.5 million into Vice President Joe Biden’s son’s shell company, Rosemont Seneca in Feb 2014 so he could get an insurance policy/blocker to the natural Democratic process in Ukraine, and simultaneously annexed Crimea while invading Donbas.

Russians have been doing that since the 1920s.
