    Peter Zeihan is a geopolitical strategist, which is a fancy way of saying he helps people understand how the world works. Peter combines an expert understanding of demography, economics, energy, politics, technology, and security to help clients best prepare for an uncertain future.
    Over the course of his career, Peter has worked for the US State Department in Australia, the DC think tank community, and helped develop the analytical models for Stratfor, one of the world’s premier private intelligence companies. Peter founded his own firm - Zeihan on Geopolitics - in 2012 in order to provide a select group of clients with direct, custom analytical products. Today those clients represent a vast array of sectors including energy majors, financial institutions, business associations, agricultural interests, universities and the U.S. military.
    Peter is a critically-acclaimed author whose first two books - The Accidental Superpower and The Absent Superpower - have been recommended by Mitt Romney, Fareed Zakaria and Ian Bremmer. His latest third title, Disunited Nations: The Scramble for Power in an Ungoverned World became available in March 2020.

      Except that he praises and gushes for Biden. If you listen to some of his other videos and podcasts, he goes on about how Biden is perhaps the best president we have had... Ever. Bidens policies are right on point and putting the US in a clear path to success?? Never once does he mention that Biden isn't cognitively aware, or that Biden isn't even on control of his policies. I don't trust peter here with any of his models. Saying that China won't even be an entity in 7 years is beyond lunacy.
      If anything it sounds like this guy is a paid propagandist for China. Insinuating that China nor Russia are a threat to the rest of the world. Biden is a shill for China and Ukraine. But somehow that doesn't play into effect on the grand scheme of things.

    My brother happens to live in Shreveport and be a leading activist in trying to preserve the Red River. He wrote me after watching this video to express both his interest in Zeihan's views but also his suspicion that Zeihan is unaware of some important details that should override his concern for the Jones Act on domestic shipping in the region. In his words:
    "Shreveport has been fighting the Red River for hundreds of years. For the past 50 it's been the Army Corps of Engineers. When they put in the locks and dams in the 80's, they miscalculated the amount to sediment that the Red carries. Now it it silting in behind the locks and raising the flood levels and they can't dredge/keep a shipping channel sustainably... a ton of resources going into artificially making this a port-city. In the meantime overlooking the opportunities and gifts the river naturally presented."
    I know zilch about port shipping and would be interested to know how barriers like this would be overcome to achieve anything to the degree Zeihan thinks is possible here.

    Another absolutely great presentation by Peter Zeihan. IMHO, Peter has done a tremendous amount of research on a huge number of technical topics and has put together a wonderfully informative presentation on geopolitics and demographics. If we could get all 435 US House of Representatives and all 100 US Senators to watch Peter's presentation, we would undoubtedly see an improvement in American governance. Peter's discussion in his 2015 first book, The Accidental Superpower, about Ukraine and Russia was exactly on target.

      The Jones act will continue to stand on national security grounds. Repealing it would supercharge the water transportation sector, yes, but at the cost of wiping out what little shipbuilding and shipping industry we have left. The US military relies on the domestic shipbuilding and maritime shipping industries to build, maintain, and operate its merchant marine. They also add additional construction and maintenance capacity to the military's and the defense industry's yards in event of a war.
      The reshoring of our manufacturing and onset of deglobalization will already induce demand for river shipping and will grow the industry whether the Jones Act stays or not.

      @@adurpandya2742 You need to do a bit of research on the topic prior to commenting. A large percentage of major shipyards in the US are wholly or partly owned by foreign companies. Austal USA, Keppel in Brownsville TX, Kvaerner in Philly, Fincantieri in WI, and on and on. These yards are foreign owned with a US subsidiary that allows them to compete here. Foreign (ie Asian) yards are NOT stronger, they simply pay their labor at slave wages that no first world country can compete with. Judging from your title I would guess you are from Singapore (a major Asian shipbuilding state), now that drillship & semi production has stalled your simply looking to break into other markets.

      Can't find a timestamp but what he said about the Kerch strait bridge is wrong. The car bomb destroyed one of the two road bridges and damaged the other one. The two rail bridges were slightly damaged because a train was passing at the time and it caught on fire. Both rail bridges and one of the road bridges were able to be utilized again within weeks. Normal rail traffic is running again on one track and reduced-load trains are running on the other, and that's information from early December. Likewise one car lane is destroyed but the other is open to light traffic. Not a frame-shattering error but something he said that was blatantly wrong, delivered with confidence and panache. Since i know it wasn't true, that was the one I caught. But I'm sure other people heard other things that they're familiar with and thought "wait, that's not right."

    Just a thought, and I am sure Peter has already had these conversations with several equity firms, but an investment model trading on areas of this 5 to 10 year projection would be extremely interesting. I am not talking wholistically, more industry or market specific (I am sure I am not the only one who has watched this and his other videos with an eye towards industries and companies that will or should thrive).
    This would be in the re-industrilization, processing, refining or agricultural base or any of the hundreds of knock on impacts from there. Then there is the internal demographic changes that have been accelerated with Covid (high cost urban to lower cost rural/medium urban) just within the US that will only be accelerated by the industrilization. The change in capital flows internally from High cost northern urban centers to lower cost "new" manufacturing locations in the US (looking at you Alabama)....

Putin's nuclear threats have already sobered up a lot of governments around the world.
      Well a distinction can be made. A democracy has the benefit of evolving ideas and self-reflection. When you let a man play king in a nuclear-armed nation, he's completely unchecked. That is why Putin, Xi, and other dictators are dangerous when they get ideas that go completely unchecked. The ability to protest without consequences or share a different opinion is a very important feature of democracies. We should be happy to have opposition to our ideas as long as the overwhelming majority agrees that a democratic form of government is actually in their best interest from the standpoint of affecting real change in the direction of society. The opinions of voters matters. None of that exists in Russia or China, and it makes them dangerous regardless of how powerful our military is.
