CIA asset Peter Zeihan explains why every prediction he’s made for months was wrong

i like peter for his outlandish predictions on china and Europe, but he was obviously well off on his election prediction. he's been saying that trump would lose for almost a year now.

now his stuff on demography and economics tends to make sense for other countries, though.

So why should he be believed on the former?

Why do you think he has credibility? Because he speaks assertively and confidently? Because I think he’s a complete fraud and makes a living making utter fabrications.

He said that vs Biden. He has a few videos where he says "all bets are off if he doesn't make it". That came to fruition

As far as depopulation there are plenty of other sources and data that support that. Plenty of other issues that the jury is out on and I am sure we can find plenty he was wrong about. The thing about geopolitics is that it has so many variables it is damn easy to be wrong

I don’t even understand how this guy became some person we should even listen to? He has a soothing voice, but other than that, how did he become some foreign policy expert that we should all listen to?

I used to watch him, but he's been predicting a Chinese economic collapse for a couple of years..... I don't watch anymore.
Some of those geopolitical "experts" are about as good as weather forecasts with their predictions.

The geopolitical Sam Harris

I need backup for his assertion that Trump said Independents don't matter in 2022 and for that it was the reason why 2022 was not the red wave it was supposed to be.

Peter Zion is rewriting history like the "all" do who what to protect the institutionalists.

The 2022 red wave did not happen because congressional leadership from Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell spent heavily in congressional GOP primaries against congressional MAGA opponents and the general election came around McCarthy and McConnell did not help these GOP MAGA candidates with their campaign war chest. In fact, the narrative from establishment Republicans and the Trump hating media is that Trump didn't spend enough money to help these candidates. No presidential candidate in U.S. history has ever been held to the standard that they should spend their campaign money on down ballot candidates, especially while fighting Lawfare expenses.

But this time was different.

For the first time in U.S. history it was the fault of a presidential candidate for not spending enough money on down ballot GOP MAGA candidates rather than the National Republican Senatorial Committee (McConnell) and the National Republican Congressional Committee (McCarthy) not spending campaign money on these candidates to get them elected.

Oh, and add in Lindsey Graham's dumbass proposal for a national abortion ban to energize the left...stupid arse Graham.

Peter Zion is a fraud.

When he wades into the domestic political landscape meaning elections he's way out of his lane. He's more at home in forecasting geopolitical trends on a broad scale.

His insights on demographics is interesting as it applies to Russia/ Europe / China .

I think Zeihan is an interesting listen but I think he makes insane predictions that when you step back and look at the overall net result you think “hmm, the logic is there but I just don’t see that outcome coming true.”
