Panama has taken control of the port facilities previously run by a Chinese company after the courts ruled the original contracts were secured through bribes.

The U.S. is pressuring Ukraine to avoid striking specific Russian energy infrastructure. As you could imagine, this all has to do with American economic interests.Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihanFull Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4aHoV6c
I hate to say it, but we still haven't located the fountain of youth. Unfortunately, that means there's no current medical breakthrough that will meaningfully reverse the global demographic problem.Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihanFull Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4qQOcPZ
The Trump administration has accused China of conducting a small nuclear test in 2020. The claim is that a seismic event was detected in Western China around that time.

Following the Christmas Day U.S. airstrike on a jihadist target in northern Nigeria, the U.S. has deployed 100 troops, more so advisors, to train local counterterrorism forces in Nigeria.Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihanFull Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3MCfFqM
Starlink cut service to Russian forces along the front line, leaving these troops largely isolated.

Drones now account for the majority of casualties in the Ukraine War. One of the innovations that has allowed Russia to improve strike range is by mounting Starlink terminals to drones.Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihan Full Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4kLNxhC

They need to stop the scams!
Peter makes good points but 100 years from now, I think he will remembered the same way those who thought acquiring Alaska was folly.
where's the second part? you rushed this one out I'm afraid.
Can country like poland really whip up a nuclear power plant in 3 to 4 years from scratch?
correction.... Qatar has 2 million
I have HUGE faith in Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett! She is earning her stars and stripes! TRUTH MATTERS! WE, WHO ARE BORN IN AMERICA ALL HAVE A VOICE of our TRUTH AND BELONG. OUR PARENTS SHOULD BELONG TOO OUR COUNTRY! THE US CONSTITUTION must NEVER BE TAKEN FROM US! We must not stop due process for our immigrants! In every process point PEOPLE should be held one 5 day week TOPS for their due process and move to what the outcome is! PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT JOB SHOULD BE ASHAMED!
Disappointing episode from someone who usually gets it right. some more research into current battery technologies and capabilities would be worthwhile. To make such grand statements regarding a technology that is changing by the week is nonsense. The rate of change is currently awesome. Most likely is that the amount of battery installed was inadequate. We're in a transition.
your voice sounds strange.
genuine question: what am I buying that Texas migrants are needed to produce?
True Americans should be utterly appalled by the transparently political convictions of Donald Trump (whether they like Trump or not). It's because of things like a corrupt justice system, that make me never want to live in Moscow or China or Any other banana republic. Biden needs to GO.
Peter seems to think Trump's felony convictions, are the final stake in the heart of the vampire. There are probably some who think of These felony convictions as a crucifixion of a messiah. Those are only the the extreme minority opinions of American voters.
It was actually the conservative CDU that shut down nuclear power in Germany. Not the green party.
Could have mentioned the widespread stultification, due to a new religion, that dulled the M-East's intellectual, technological, political, institutional, innovations after the 7th century.
I was a big fan of Elon musk when it was all about electric vehicles and becoming an inter planetary species but when he took over social media and turned it into a right wing disinformation sewer I went right off him. What a twat.
It is not "nucular." It is difficult to take someone seriously if they cannot even pronounce "nuclear" correctly.
Our own government is the biggest propaganda purveyor on the globe. U.S. news outlets used to fact check the government. Now, they are the mouthpiece of the propagandists.Also, it's not just the things the news outlets say - it's what they don't report that is also problematic. We are turning into China at an alarmingly fast pace.
loved it. The "all Biden not do is not die" was hilarious, but very true.
