Peter Zeihan Presents Disunited Nations: The Trade Breakdown | Upfront Summit 2020 

it's a Gen X ers way.

​@@Mr.chickensoupwe are the best

​@@schnarfschnarf5886nah zoomers

And he got exactly zero laughter from it.

@@wutangisforever2798 yes, interesting topics, but this guy is wayyy unfunnier than he thinks..

Still funny after all these years.

@@Billytheshit True but he's so unfunny that it became funny

​@@Billytheshitthat's not the right crowd for one but his delivery isn't the best, he nervous when he tries to crack a joke most times

So did most of eastern europe

never is; we like the familiarity

Murica is demanding the city of London. That was my first time hearing that. 31:45

yes same BS.

If my long-time Zeihan fan does what?

I disagree. Read it again.

He not that good . He is appeaser like joe Biden he thinks Putin will use . So he thinks Putin wants to kill himself

The audience thinks differently haha

Everything was great except the jokes

I liked the jokes as well. This crowd was brutal

The "jokes" were the worst part. Great talk besides him bombing on the jokes though.

Also he not that funny.

Let's get something straight....we don't have a government..... what we have is an enemy force and occupation masquerading as our government

I was enjoying the part where the last 3 president were morons & they still are too!

@Lauren B if your replying to me 5 international, 100's in US all medical

@Lauren B I come across people like you, a simpleton that can't relate to reality and your proof. Grow up and live prosperous 😘

Clog dancing?

If you look at the notes under the post, you'll see noise is due to high winds

Well if you listen to him in the early 2000s he predicted the fall of China in 5-10 years

Geo strategy requires you to understand all

I didn't care for him constantly ripping on Trump while praising sociopaths as the smartest people in the room, either, but sometimes, you understand that the comedian's job is to offend everyone equally.

He's just a woke gen xer

instablaster

Worst fringe joke ever. He practically insulted everyone on the political spectrum with broad one note labels. That joke would probably do well with people that dislike governance, are anarchists or similar. The type of people I very much doubt was in the audience or he intended it to be for...

@@Lobos222 his jokes fell flat every time....

You're an idiot. Trump noes more about the 🌎 than this 🤪 guy. If he was so smart, where is his hotel 🏨 with his name on it. 😆

He is a propagandist. Check out his view on Ukraine , it is obvious nonsense which to me shows everything he says is tainted by agenda.

yeah, and the result is the Japanese have been in permanent RECESSION since 1990 with a population demographic that is shrinking. hence Japan will have half of the population it has now in 30 years with a 6 to 1 ratio of retirees to young employed citizens PAYING for the elderly

Idk why he’s so popular all of the sudden. Peter has made many wrong predictions & still sounds so confident. I don’t understand him

@@JONCOOK61420 I understand! Fascism! Trump lover! Racist scum

I was thinking the same lol but he sometimes sprinkles in new stuff. The interviews and any q and a sessions are always the most informative.

@@edgeldine3499 do you have some new interviews

I always think that too, then I talk about some of the stuff he talks about with friends and such, and i realize no one knows this stuff.

that is why he switches ties, to mix things up :P

I never get tired of cashing a paycheck no matter how many times I build up the same set of valves for a customer.

AND THEY surreptitiously used a LOT of it to stalk and subvert AMERICA ALL THE WHILE ! They not only have mismanaged billions, they DID SO AS ENEMIES TO ALL WE STAND FOR, USING THE BENEVOLENT NATURE OF OUR PROGRAMS only to the missions of GLOBALIST TAKEOVER ! The present "MEDICAL MANDATES" is the worst, BUT LAST, NWO FRAUD 4 Control !

@odegaard They are mobile military bases. Not just airfields. They, are the reason china hasnt moved militarly on several targets. Im NOT into policing the world, but we DO have enemies.

@@Withnail1969 What's your country?

@@LosizakIIThe UK.

@@Withnail1969 if it wasn’t for the United States the Brits would speaking German. You had better pray that we don’t remove our military installations from your country because you cannot stand alone. You proved that in WWII.

T'es parti du Québec pour les états?

I think his point was we’re one of the only countries that won’t have that problem. Granted that you trust the generations coming up to get their shit together.

@@mikestefan7386 they will

@@mikestefan7386 -- That is a huge concern.

@mikestefan7386 it's an axiomatic generational concern. Everything will be fine.

He also helped make the US energy independent.

@@aperture413 ""Just say thank you, please,” Mr. Obama said."

@@kudjo24 i dont get it, obama didnt send conventional military in, its that simple.

@@aperture413 by making things so bad that the US voted in Trump?

@@banjax80 "so bad", I'd be curious to see what you think Obama did that was so bad that isn't just the run of the mill neoliberal ethos for the past 30 years.

Bugger off! We need him in disunited kingdom more!!

Weird way to say you have rice fever.

I love sticky white rice. I have rice fever as well

@@justinrieper8883 White rice gives you cancer

The UK has still not got its finger out and done something and is still prancing around the edges.

This is geo-politics and trade. There are no friends and loyalty for loyalty sake is a meme.

Nations have no friends, only interests. Even if they put on a smile.

A king has no friends, only followers or foe

You sound bitter. Where was your nation when the Americans were building up to be a global juggernaut? And doing all of that while projecting an image of valuing human rights and democracy. Quit crying

There is nothing the US or anybody can do for these countries. Many of these countries have had decades to get their house in order but failed to do so. It is nothing to do with high and dry there is no saving many of these countries. Everyone of them will not have a population to function so how is the US to help with that?

I wished more teachers were like that, it's just so interesting

I know a lot of people are snarky online but I’m genuinely asking; Nails what exactly? Are you new to Peter?

@@Tenchi707 he’s excellent at presenting with confidence & a great speaker overall

@@JONCOOK61420 peter presents accurate data professionally from a combination of demographic, input, and commodity models. No im not new to peter. Its ok to be snarky sometimes:)

He talks about climate change and automation in another version of this talk, a good recent one is his VM Sustainability forum talk. Also everything he said about international trade is said in college classrooms, it was non existent in the 1800s and was in its infancy during the interwar period. Colonialism trade triangle and imperialist supply chains were never international.

@@amatthew1231 It did exist, and it grew as economies and supply chains became more sophisticated. It's not just because of a strong US navy. The idea trade didn't happen because everyone sank each others ships prior to 1945 is ridiculous. What about digital and financial services? These aren't physical and make up a huge percentage of developed economies exports.

Silk Road, too, or the Spanish and Portuguese opening of sea lanes to Asia. Shit, even evidence of widespread trade btw nations in the bronze age. Obviously wars were fought, but trade has grown and prospered, apace with the ability of the civilization to do so.

@@nvonliph He is preaching to americans for americans that's his market ,give the punters what they want right. GODDAMN RIGHT KICK SOME ASS USA.USA USA USA MAGA !!!!!!!!

@@ltaylor9704 The detail that you are missing is that Western empires of the last 500 years only protected THEIR OWN territories and trade routes. That's the very logic of imperialism and colonialism: you gain new territories in competition with native powers and other imperial/colonial powers in order to secure your own economic interests. That's why, for example, the Dutch colonized Indonesia: at first to secure supply and price control over spices and which then evolved to include palm oil, petroleum, rubber and timber. The colonies supply raw materials, the mother country supplies law and order, industrial products and modern infrastructure. A truly global and international multilateral trade didn't exist until post-WW2.

If we're still alive

Off about what?

Ikr. Wondered if anyone else noticed that🧐

Liberal retarded morons....Obama's youth movement

@@lingli314 "Liberal retarded morons....Obama's youth movement" Having sound engineered more than once in very large halls, had it been Obama's Liberals operating the sound, I'm sure it would have been much nicer...but those are the cards were dealt.

@David Rogers @Ling li "Liberal retarded morons....Obama's youth movement" Do tell; are you with Obama's Youth Movement? Or was I correct in my analysis?

David Rogers ...Popstar Barbie Microphones??

@David Rogers"Do tell" are you that gay tim Chisholm. You mean amongst all the straight Tim Chisholm's? Are you the gay david Rogers?

😀Like this was rehearsal while they were still constructing the set. The laughter was from construction workers.

Sorry 1986 to 2015.

I am from a farming community. We probably get 60-70% of our crops from irrigation... But we wouldn't starve if the wells dried up. There are a lot of "dryland" farmers who make their living off rainfall fed land only.

Yeah even though that was a funny story how he told the story but it was still a dirty joke to play on the Brits. I believe Naval historians consider the Town class the worst destroyers ever built by anybody.

@@guyvalentine7258 yes, we haven’t forgotten

Ah, you're just a Chinese who doesn't like what he has to say about your sick country.

@@junkscience6397 Incorrect. I'm a fan of Peter's. I've got all his books.

@odegaard This is an interesting one. The oil fields will still be there. Average cost price of $42 pb and viable at, say, $60 pb. The virus situation will abate. In geopolitical time frames, it is but a blip on over the horizon. Short to medium dislocation will pose transitory problems. Firms like Exxon will survive but may other juniors and mid-tiers will collapse. All those engineers will find jobs elsewhere such that, once the sector recovers, there will be a talent drain. It's a setback in terms of lost time and opportunity cost but nothing too substantial as to change the energy security calculus if US shale is truly a self sustainable industry (with a little help in the way of subsidies from Uncle Sam). Personally, my conviction theme is that crude oil, will be an increasingly sought after commodity in the long run. It has a replacement time frame measured in geological eons.

odegaard bro they’re gonna get bailed out

@@joannaliu4977 What about the demand side of things? Per his view it doesn't sound like demand will move higher in any way as it has in the past as far as I hear him.

He absolutely doesn't know!!!

Yeah I was thinking that too as my blood pressure was rising!

What do you guys mean? Genuinely curious.

@@hydernoori146 George HW Bush has a very dark side. One thing that's quite stunning: He stated that he could not remember where he was when JFK was murdered (by a cabal of which, in my opinion, he was likely a part). Photos show where he was (Dallas, Texas) and with whom (his son). Another thing that is striking is the relationship between the Bush Family and the Bin Laden Family. Very close is so many ways. A third thing is his involvement in the Iran/Contra scandal. This HW guy had power, he used whatever he could to advance himself and his family. Today, even leading Republicans, such as Chris Chistie and Rand Paul, agree that the war on drugs, ramped up by Bush during his four years in the White House, has been a dismal and racist failure. HW was ruthless. Most US Americans (lazy to think or learn) remember this man as a classy guy, likeable, a real family man.

@@wmc9722 Thank you so much for explaining this to me.

They were Caldwell, Wickes, and Clemson class destroyers in US service. The British treated the transferred ships as a single class and renamed them for UK or commonwealth towns. Those transferred Caldwell, Wickes, and Clemson class destroyers were old, but not at all bad. The US Navy used its retained Caldwell, Wickes, and Clemson class ships extensively during WWII, some as destroyers, others converted to light mine-layers (DM), Destroyer minesweepers (DMS), high speed transports (APD), seaplane tenders (AVD), etcetera. The Royal Navy also had a group of Light Cruisers which they called the Town Class. One Royal Navy town class cruiser, HMS Belfast, is still extant

so, verdict?

Incendere Moonlite yeah let us in on ur thoughts

its all very superficial. its nonsense to claim the US is noit a trading nation.

Californian people are just like Canadians except more pathetic

That is why we have to make 2nd choices to win an election in California and new York. allow popular votes if we failed to win the electoral college. Republican have no chance to make it a red state. Getting the majority votes to those overpopulated state makes the other smaller states useless and don't exist

Allow me to assist - a speaker who hails America as a great superpower with all the cards to continue into future generations is seen as a nightmare level bad trip by the hippies, destroying their lifetime dreams of the required comeuppance.

@@shakdidagalimal what do you mean?

@@Tony-yd1vx He means that Peter is telling them their whole view of how the world works is wrong. It is like someone disproving gravity... and being right about it. Their stolid reaction says it all.

@Neil Graham Ahhh... I understand. Like when Hillary would speak to people in the south she would all of a sudden produce a southern drawl. lol

@@trumpzilla7095 Hot Sauce in the bag and everything ;)

It's possible that things like wars and diseases can alter the age structures of nations in ways we can't foresee. Just like how the baby boom didn't go on indefinitely, the baby bust won't either.

So what's going on

I also got that vibe from the speaker

@witkrieg todd ~ when you/I hire a "Plumber" who does shoddy work, we damn well have every right to rectify that problem & it's double down when our Leaders do the ill will of the Globalist Elites. I was raised in the Washington,DC life around lots of Military men & people like this writer. Many of them are Intelligence Operatives & more but almost every one of them gets paid to embellish the truth w/ lies. I've not watched all of this video nor any of his others so I'm not naming wrongs...... lol, I'm simply saying I grew up in the home of a person just like Him. Very few of them who write books actually tell any straight truths, when they make obscene amounts of money for their books you can bet they've interwoven all sorts of lies to skew the truth...... to cover the lies of the globalist elite. We ALL make sure bad plumbers/tradesmen don't get away w/ it, thank God for Free Speech. peace to you & be aware is all I'm saying..... He's hiding more truth than he tells, that is his job.

Once the wall fell it meant the whole of the Iron curtain collapsed. People could just walk away as they pleased. It was most certainly the collapse of the USSR the moment that happened.
