That is historically the difference between leftist and conservative thinkers. Leftists think a conservative agreeing with their points is a win because they would never agree with anything a conservative said just because a conservative said it. They think themselves open to ideas when they really aren't. Leftists have been trying the same failed shite for 50 years that has never worked.

The right, especially the bottom feeders on the right, are quickly adopting the same principle though. Politics is just a team sport now.

Leftists are committed idealogues.

Similar to Marxists/Bolsheviks and/or National Socialists/SS types or Islamists/Jihadists.


Extremist types.

Zeihan knows demographics. Outside of demographics, he understands little of anything to be accurate. He has zero clue about oil and natural gas, or the processes used to make products or which products are the money makers and which are just byproducts to sell near cost to keep things flowing.

How many times over the last 3-5 years has he said that China was on the verge of total collapse?

The coming years, but China is closed to its height. He's not the only one who is saying that its population is overcounted. He's not the only one who is saying that China wasted a shitton of money on dozens of complete cities with no one occupying them.

These dumbasses don't get that Germany has been moving manufacturing to the US and China for well over a decade. Mercedes are built in Alabama. The cheap NGL's feedstock in the US since 2010 or so made the US more reliable than imports from Russia and a labor force which Germany doesn't have any longer They don't even recognize that Turkish immigrants post WWII is who played a huge role in West Germany's economic growth. Far too many German males were killed in WWII for that to happen on its. own. There was a lot of disagreement on whether or not the Turks should be allowed to be become citizens in the 1970s.

The fact remains that Germany has been screwing other EU nations for decades. That was a huge part of why Brexit happened. They also

Ah... totally different from America Firsters who support detention camps, ethnic cleansing by any other name they put on it, Christian Nationalism...

I laugh when posters on the Poli Board scream about "Sharia Law!" then check their post history and its full of "women shouldn't be allowed to vote!," "women should stop wearing yoga pants because they look like sluts" and "criminals should be instantly executed."

Vive la difference!

I don't know enough about those specific things to know if he's right on that stuff... but he is paid to consult those corporations and the people who invest in them, so I dunno... perhaps they don't need him to know that much since they do and they need him more to tell them about demographics, history and political stuff that effects those industries. I've seen him say that when he worked at think tanks and consulting firms, he ended up being the person they would make interact with the clients and the specialists would brief him on everything and he would give summaries... because the specialists left the clients confused by being too hyper-focused on their areas of expertise and unable to communite with anybody who wasn't.

Where's Sir WInston? I'm starting to wonder if the HUR hasn't focused on eliminating pro-Russian posters, here...

Demographics is the ultimate decider as all industries depend on the consumers. How to get from original resources to there is fuzzy to him at best.

Well... Economists win the Nobel Prize for the one time they are right about something and we ignore the rest of their careers when they were wrong, don't we?

He's just a guy hiking and thinking, to me... he has some points. SInce his paying customers get his vids a week before they're just put on Youtube he can be behind on events by the time I see them.

We can expect a lot more of this going forward. The Russian war against Europe has already started.

The contaminated crude posed a serious threat by corroding refinery equipment, which could have caused prolonged shutdowns and disrupted fuel supplies nationwide. Romania’s quick detection and response helped prevent a major energy crisis.

The sabotage allegedly involved injecting chlorine into the 1,700 km pipeline from Azerbaijan through Georgia and Turkey.
quote:

Italy’s ENI confirmed a few days ago that it found contaminated crude from the same Azerbaijani route via the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline. Czechia’s Orlen Unipetrol also halted use of a similar batch. ENI didn’t say who was behind it or when it happened.
quote:

While still speculation and not officially confirmed, it’s highly possible that chlorine was injected at a vulnerable point along the pipeline likely within Georgian territory where access and security might be less strict. Saboteurs could use maintenance valves or pumping stations to introduce contaminants into the crude flow.
