He’d be a great storyteller but that’s about it. I was always real skeptical about his China predictions. I just couldn’t understand where he got his theories on what’ll happen in China from.

He constantly makes claims that dont come to pass. According to him, half the world is collapsing.

Here is a link to a poplution pyramind graph website whose sources are mostly the UN.. So take that for what is worth...

Population Pyramid Graph

Compare some of the countries he talks about that are in trouble... chyna, japan, some european, ect...
The ones without enough children are already in trouble, and there are alot of them.

Once that trendline starts going down, its hard to get it back up again.
Thay haven't invented viagra for countries yet, although I think thats what the muslim imports are about...

Some of the arab world male/female skews are crazy...

Yes, I like him. He used to be involved with Stratfor and has access to much more than most. However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, including Peter Zeihan.

I, for one, have not ever had a Twitter account yet I believe Elon Musk, like Peter Zeihan, are beneficial to our society in ways much larger than most.

Opinions are very good for us. Please do not let them be removed from you though some are trying really hard.

Where is he wrong about China?

China is collapsing and in decline. They lied about their population numbers and they will have a hard time recovering from the 1 child policy.

That's a lot of words to say he doesn't like Twitter anymore because it's not a leftist echo chamber

Fan of Zeihan, but he occasionally has opinions I disagree with to a varying degree. He is very bullish on the US and Mexico and for the most part he is years ahead recognizing global trends. Some of his takes are certainly up for debate. China's demise comes to mind.

He used Twitter as a safe space where nobody disagreed with him lest they get banned

Idiot. If you are not growing, you are dying.....and the one child policy in China is leading to a collapse. Zeihan is seeing it in about 10 years.

This board thought there was a Q

Ziehan says some thoughtful things and takes great looks at demographics

He doesn’t like being challenged, and doesn’t know to respond to someone who isn’t talking group think.

He makes a living in DC telling people what they want to hear, so you can see how that would be difficult for him.


This a good window into why DC is so dysfunctional.

Zeihan is an entertainer. He’s full of shite but spins a good story. He’s also clearly a liberal and narcissist.

He’s been completely wrong on Ukraine and keeps pushing that Russia will be beaten any day now. It will be interesting to see how spins Ukraine giving up the eastern half of their territory.

Peter couldn't predict the Middle East would heat up again making the US less focused on the Sino-Russo containment.

he predicted Russia not being able to maintain its military and industrial output and therefore collapse by the end of Ukraine's super duper offensive. China will see Putin get humiliated in the Hague and decide its a terrible idea to threaten Taiwan.

this dude needs to go frick himself like Bob Iger.

I'm happier with Elon's "Go frick Yourself" mandate. Advertisers wanna leave? Leave.
