No, the U.S. can’t escort tankers in the Persian Gulf today as it did during the 1980s Tanker War. Back in the 80s, the U.S. swooped into a regional conflict where attacks on shipping were limited, and the Strait remained open.Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihanFull Newsletter: https://bit.ly/49xcDvU

1Relations between the U.S. and Germany are quickly deteriorating. German Chancellor Merz has criticized the U.S. for lacking a coherent negotiation strategy. President Trump responded by floating the idea of reducing U.S. troop deployments in Germany. It's one big mess.Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihanFull Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3P7uYZw
Before you get too excited, NO, I'm not giving away any financial advice. However, whatever the global markets are doing right now doesn't match the physical reality of the Iran war.Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihan Full Newsletter:

Drones have been all the rage in the Ukraine War, and they will continue to be one of the primary topics of warfare in the near future, but do underwater drones have any place in this conversation?

The Iran War has caused a massive disruption in global petrochemical production. Since most of the world relies on oil-derived naptha, the ~12 million barrels/day shortage is taking a toll. Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihan Full Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4sQt6Cg
During the Cold War, Soviet intelligence agencies actively sponsored or even created terror cells throughout Europe.

Trump's chaotic and isolated approach to the Iran War has caused rifts between the U.S. and many of its closest European allies. Topping that list is the Italians. Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihan Full Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4cH3gLa

As Persian Gulf and Russian exports collapse, global prices will rise, which should benefit the U.S. and Canada. However, if exports are halted to keep gasoline prices down, then North America would become oversupplied.

I believe you stated in the past that America has enough fuel to make it on our own. If I remember this correctly, why is it we are paying more at the pumps now?
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.
