Russia Is Failing Not Failed || Peter Zeihan

1/23/2025
Although Russia's military performance in the Ukraine War has been underwhelming, that doesn't mean we can write off the Russians quite yet. This conflict, and what could follow, should still be a top concern for the West.

Trump 2.0 - Iran || Peter Zeihan

Trump 2.0 - China || Peter Zeihan

1/20/2025
In this video, Peter mentioned a total fertility rate (TFR) of 0.5. While this may be the case for certain urban cores, China's national TFR is closer to 1.0. Still abysmal, though slightly less catastrophic. -ZoG Everyone knows where I stand on China, but how will Trump's second term play into that?

China Has No Chance || Peter Zeihan

Can Venezuela Help Out with a Middle East Oil Shortage? || Peter Zeihan

1/18/2025
With the increasing possibility of disruptions to the Middle East oil supply, I was asked an ~interesting~ question on how to solve it.

Is Federal Regulation Coming to the Texas Power Grid? || Peter Zeihan

That innate sense of independence that every Texan comes out of the womb with has also made its way into the energy sector. With an isolated grid managed by ERCOT, Texas has found itself in an energy pickle of its own.

Why Is Gas So Expensive in California? || Peter Zeihan

1/11/2025
Picture this: you're driving down the PCH in a sports car with the top down, hair is blowing in the wind, and then the gas light comes on. You pull into the first gas station you see and a gallon of gas costs $14.99. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but California is heading towards a massive energy crisis.

A New American Imperialism? || Peter Zeihan

1/10/2025
American imperialism is not the same as European imperialism. The Europeans wanted power, prestige and economic gain, while the US was in it for security.

Playing Jenga with Maritime Shipping || Peter Zeihan

1/6/2025
In my books, I highlighted how even a minor, seemingly insignificant event could cripple global maritime shipping. Well, not only did one of those events just happen, three did. We're talking about a Russian cargo ship sinking, Israel targeting the Houthis in Yemen, and Finland impounding a Russian ship.

Artificial Intelligence Isn't Ready for Mass Application || Peter Zeihan

1/3/2025
