"There is no win for anyone, so be careful who you condemn," never has there been truer words.
This is the most comprehensive analysis I have seen on the region on TH-cam. Clear, concise, great pacing, and very informative.
I’m so thankful I came across this. This was incredibly informative.
Yeah, Peter Zeihan took my anxiety away , about the events in the world in the last 2 years, because he sheds light on the events . Love to hear his opinion on worldwide events.
Same here. He lays it out in an articulate, rational way. I'm listening to his audio book and the guy makes sense every step of the way.
@apointonawave agreed . Btw , I m listening to audiobooks to 👍🏾, love them .
Always Great Peter!!!!! Thanks Jack for having him on.
thank you Peter and Jack. access to big picture POV's is rare, not to be found on mainstream news. greatly appreciated.
I learned more about what's going on in both the Middle East in this interview than all the "media experts" on all the major news networks combined. Thank you.
I second this^
Yeah, PZ is my go-to source of knowledge when it comes to economics and politics, partly because of his insights and views, partly because how well he presents them!
Mainstream media News is absolutely pathetic, they might as well be reading children's book fairy-stories.
Megyn Kelly and even Douglas K Murray are suddenly regurgitating these highly emotionalized USA / Israeli narratives like robots and that IS disappointing. You'd want at least some popular critical commentators and newscasters to have one foot on solid ground.
@@vodevick Sadly, you have been dupped.
This is a high level scrambled eggs, geo-politics for dummies.
However, very well done!
Who doesn’t like scrambled eggs.
Refreshingly honest and accurate by Mr. Peter Zeihan.
Thank you for this video. Peter Zeihan is always good to hear.
Such a great episode. Thank you for the valuable insights and information.
Great video - great to listen to Peter as always
Wow, what a great interview. Mr. Zeihan is incredible.
Thank you both for this informative interview. One cannot get this type of straight-forward information from mainstream media!
BOT
It's been awhile since I saw a longer interview from Peter. Thanks for doing this!
He finally found his way out of the woods; made it through the wilderness
It's good to get as much evidence of time/history as we can.
Winners used to get to write history, but in this mome
His analysis is off actually but nevermind.
@@SmithenWest00 nah it's pretty spot on. The numbers back it up.
"Hey it's Peter Zeihan coming to you from the Planet Mars on this lovely day."
Wow everyone should watch this! Thank you!
I know very little about this! Thanx for the update
Very intelligent man, as an iranian i can say he got the feeling we have towards the Russians very well #turkmenchain.
One quick edit: please make sure to mention iranian government and not iran, since they have nothing to do with iran or iranians, they are just a group of occupiers occupying the country.
Yes so sad one of the greatest empire reduced to a embarrassment for 70 percent of population .It’s sad that CIA was responsible for the fall of the Shah God bless Iran .the population being held hostage by the mullah s of Iran and the 3 hour wedding bullshit .People with imaginary friends are dangerous
I believe he has mentioned this before, but it bears repeating.
The same could probably be said for Russia
It's important distinction to make.
Excellent point that cannot be emphasized enough, I am rooting for the people of Iran every day. Quick question for you (if you currently live in Iran and don't want to answer I understand - not sure what their domestic spying is like) do you think there will be a regime change/revolution soon or will it be more of a slow burn kind of like Saudi govt slowly changing as the younger generation takes power and older ones retire?
The overwhelming position in the western world is we know the Iranian government have never and will never represent the will and wellbeing of you it's people, hopefully one day those tyrants will be overthrown and your people will be allowed to lead themselves into a prosperous new era. It would literally benefit everyone
Wait, did he say we have two carrier strike groups in the Mediterranean just to rescue US hostages? If I did hear that correctly? that is...well...wrong. The US does not need to have a carrier in the region to rescue hostages and certainly not two, I can't even really connect the dots on that one. It could be I misunderstood or maybe being it is a podcast he misstated what he means. The US moves carrier strike groups to project power, mostly as a deterrent. That is the point today. Not sure why the US would need a carrier to rescue hostages in Gaza, they can use multiple airports in Israel if needed. The point of the carriers and other US navy assets in the region has nothing to do with hostages and everything to do with keeping Iran and it's proxies out of the war.
No, US doesn't want to launch fighter planes w bombs from Israel to support a hostage rescue of helicopters. That would seem too much like a full alliance. And Israel is about to kill 100,000 and ignore US requests for moderation, so we want to stress it's not a full alliance and each is free agent not coordinating. I'm not sure US even has fighter planes and helicopters based in Israel, we can't just assume US has extra 100 air craft there.. So Biden is sending in some extra carriers with nothing better to do .....
spot on!
This is great!
Subbed.
Very educational and put so easy to understand when most middle east interviews or conversations go over my head....thank you
Great guest, thank you.
Thank you, Jack. Very informative interview on a complex subject.
I do love Peter's posts... his knowledge blows me away!!
Excellent guest, with straightforward explanations ! Thank you!
Great podcast! Peter Z. has amazing insight on Geopolitical issues; great insights 👍👍
I am thrilled you & Peter Z are doing a show together!!!!!
Thx guys
Eye opening
Terrific interview with a top notch guest, much appreciated!
Appreciate the work keeping up informed!!!
Thanks Peter
Great info..thank you!
Thanks for the insight.
Great job. Keep them coming.
Thanks for the interview- I enjoy watching him doing longer videos.
Peter is your best guest. and that is saying something 😊
Very much enjoyed this. New subscription ❤
Great interview Peter is simply the best I watch his almost daily videos..
Love listening to Peter. Love his daily ish channel.
very informative
Thanks Jack
Zeihan is a beacon of clarity
Follow his past work ... look at prior predictions ... the interview is so much a matter of fact on how nations view at each other ... I followed him for over a year now and he has been wrong on most of the big issues
I enjoy getting this guys take on geopolitics and world events.
Love me some Peter Zeihan!
Very informative! Bahut badhiya! Liked & subscribed.
Great discussion continuing from Peter's previous video. Look forward to more videos :)
Peter Zeihan has a style of delivery which is captivating and direct. He is like a walking encyclopedia. Love from India
He rarely speaks about India
@@johndoe-vc1weokay? Your point is?
@@4stringedbass I've got way better choices domestically.
@@johndoe-vc1we I don't see how that was relevant, but good for you i guess.
@@4stringedbass why else follow him. I want to know what affects my country. It was a hint to the OP to shop domestically. I have former personnel giving talks of 45mins with Q&A. These are 5min snippets like snacks. The only thing I look at Z for is US matters. He needs to do longer discussions or give interviews with more content.
Good interview! 😊
Wow!!! This was a very good interview
Peter is normally on point; but the reason Egypt won't take in Palestinians is to avoid birthing a geopolitical problem for itself in 16 years time.
I personally know and am friends with a few palestinians. Where I'm from, we have quite a large arab/muslim population, many of whom would say that they are "palestinian" despite maybe their parents being refugees from another middle easter countries. They're perfectly normal and good people, but the second you start a discussion regarding israel and palestine, you realize how fucked up some of their views are.
No. Peter is rarely on point.
He speaks with great confidence, but he typically has a very contemporary and myopic viewpoint on global affairs.
@@BVonBuescher I don't disagree with this, but in the post covid world, it seems like he is on the money with much of what he says at least regarding China.
@@BVonBuescherhonestly he’s been right for pretty much everything except that the Russians would overrun Ukraine in 6 months. If he’s wrong for a lot of things as you say I’d love if you point out a few examples.
Minneapolis was not that wise though.
I really appreciate Peter's take on things. His view on Bretton Woods blew me away. It made so much sense. Keep chargin you both!!!!
Great interview... thanks Jack
Very insightful, this guy has called it
Excellent and detailed discussion here. Peter Z always brings the good intel.
The thing about Zeihan is that he is fluid and articulate and barely pauses to take a breath. But when you start to examine what he’s saying it’s a lot of categorical statement and oversimplification that don’t really convey a depth of understanding of these complex situations and relationships. He’s also very quick with predictions, which rarely pan out.
LOL what? Hes been right about China this entire time..he was right about chinas covid response and was right about chinas economy. LOL
@@htown148 Chinas economic problems weren’t hard to predict. They were such a juggernaut for so long, it was unsustainable. But admittedly he’s better on Asia then he is on the Middle East.
His interviews give high-level overviews. Of course there are generalizations and directionally correct statements.
If you want details, read one of his many books.
His best format is 5 minutes breafings, nice and short, he is lacking knowlege for a more serious discussions that arent logystics and world trade.
His books predicted the Russian Ukrainian conflict.
An exceptional half hour
Very interesting!
love this guy's no nonsense direct answers
I find that over time I have learned that Zeilhan is THE go-to source for honest and pragmatic assessment of complex geopolitics.
He is ONE source for these things. But he is often a bit too numbers and simple ideas focused. Still a great input, but missing a lot of things too.
@@thorwaldjohanson2526 I think he has great sources, but I think psychology isn’t His strong point (not surprisingly).
When someone or some country acts in a novel or surprising way that’s what tends to get missed, especially when it’s a single decision-maker.
@@wylldflower5628 I fully agree. Vlad vexler is a great additional perspective to what Peter offers. Especially on the Russia Ukraine Conflict. Perun is a great resource on defense economics. Ryan mcbeth is a great source on analyzing misinformation and individual clips. There are more of course.
That’s sad 😂
It's not even close!
Awesome interview
This was good! Lots of wisdom told in a half hour
Highly informative, as usual.
Thank you for hosting Peter. Its always fascinating to hear his educated take on these matters!
Educated? He has been wrong on almost every one of his big predictions...According to him China should have collapsed 10 years ago and he just keep making stories up and moving the goal post. I hear he makes a tidy living of selling his books!
Awesome
Had to listen to this twice to even begin to understand the things discussed... Felt like I listened to it on to 3X SPEED the first time
This was genuinely enlightening and educational. It’s what our media USED to do.
"Zeihan" defending zionist activities (war crimes).
Take all of this with a huge grain of salt.
@@brianjacob8728 especially your comment.
They never did this
@@brianjacob8728 You're attempt at misleading people is laughable. Kick rocks.
@@AuraysTimelessChannel that sentiment better belongs with PZ.
Peter, thank you for your honesty and for the insights into the conflict.
He is not honest. Most of things he is saying are true but it doesn't mean he honest.
Its known that they let the yom kippur attack happen because they knew the most ptobable outcome was to their benefit. How is it possible that Peter omits that and fails to draw the parallel to this time? Maybe he is an agent and not an independant.
@@Fffffoshithat is not true. Intelligence failures happen. But the great conspiracy theories don’t love a simple answer. Just like we let 911 happen. 😂 we have so much information coming in just like everyone . Incredibly difficult to disseminate information. Sometimes it isn’t acted on because the sources aren’t vetted out at highest probability. Things need to be assigned a number of probability
@@maasa3162 I am a bit confused. Do you care to elaborate on why you are saying he is not honest?
@@FffffoshiPZ lies by omission all the time. That's his main strategy. He mentions that there are uneasy agreements between other key nations but omits the fact that the closest thing America has to a real ally is Israel. Netanyahu was backing away from DCs ineptitude until the hard realization came that his regime is just as inept.
Great information and well presented!
I like that the host posed questions but didn't interrupt.
Great video for those who haven't seen any of Peter's work and great review for people who have.
Excellent interview, thank you!
Great interview
Great discussion
I'm 70 years old and have never before had such an understanding of geopolitics as I am now receiving from Mr Zeihan. It's like taking several college courses all at once.......for free. Thank you both for this "best of all" interview. I only wish others (read; journalists) had this info - most of them are flying blind over Hamas/Israel conflict.
How do we know that he’s not full of crap?
@@chrischris9157experience, time, deeds, etc
@@chrischris9157 By already reading in depth in history and geopolitics, so if he says something that is obviously full of crap it will stand out. You'll already know its wrong. If you are wholly ignorant and get your news from Twitter and Fox News then its perfectly possible that Peter is full of crap. It sounds so different from the news sources you are used to, but that doesn't mean its wrong, it simply means you don't already know a lot about history and geopolitics. For instance, you could read books on modern Iranian history and the history of Hamas. You could read books on the structure of maritime trade, etc. But that would require you to make an effort so, whatever. He is famous now because he predicted the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine in his previous books.
@@chrischris9157 I think its important to understand that Zeihan is not full of crap. He's even worse. He's a CIA shill. So most of the information he's sharing is actually accurate and valid... but he's adding a spin to all of it that subtly (or blatantly) protects the interests of American empire, and its sword the CIA. Clearest example of this is when he adds extra bravado saying that America will always save American citizens in hostage situations. What a joke lol.
@@chrischris9157 I suggest reading/listening to his latest book. It has depth & breadth, and is an easy read-or at least an easy listen! I did listen to the economics and manufacturing sections the second time while reading-I’m an RN, have Long Haul and those 2 weren’t my forte pre-Rona!! But he speaks plainly, and doesn’t speak Econocrap (similar to how some docs talk over peoples heads!). Plus, he has a sense of humor, and measure of sarcasm, both of which I think you need with these topics!
Never get tired of Peter Zeihan,; he's always interesting, and leaves you with things to think about, and things you've never thought about.
And he’s always wrong about basically all of it
@@Merknilashhe is not always wrong. He still shares interesting insights.
@@okaydude2863 Mention one thing he was right about. Then mention the rest he was totally wrong about. Idiot.
BOT
@@Merknilash Don't upvote your own comment, it's a bad look.
Great video!
I am a subscriber and big fan of Mr. Zeihan. I watched his most recent video, and its encouraging, and i hope he is correct about his futuristic views.
Just subscribed. Great interview. Peter has fascinating takes. Thanks so much.
This has been the most clear and understandable explanation of what is going on in this region I have seen.
Zeihan is entertaining but he's kinda the goto 'car salesman' of global relations analysis.
@@Cyberdactyl
Like all "talks a good talk" youtubers, i long to see him in an interview with a peer, who could challenge when necessary. Like his standard prediction that china will be gone in 10or so years. what does he really mean with that?
stretches credulity. where in the wirld are you?
---
I really detest the tiresome "open air prison camp" rhetoric which he repeated several times. Nobody is keeping the Palestinians from turning their strip of land into another Singapore, or a nice seaside resort. However, instead they spend all that money they receive for weapons to attack their stronger neighbor. Why? It's in H_m_s founding charter, and they aren't shy about it: They don't want peace, prosperity and freedom. They want to end every single Jew. Simple as.
Thank you for the great geopolitical explanations. RE: 15:05 - That was always my understanding... however, I went to Israel in the spring and the State Department travel advisory repeatedly and emphatically stated that if you were in country and something happens, do NOT expect assistance and make your own plans for potential extraction. I was wondering if this was an affect of the Afghanistan exit.
effect
He’s on it!
This was extremely informative. Appreciate you gents.
I love Peter Zeihan! Thanks for having him on, Jack!
Very interesting discussion.
Good facts . Makes a lot of sense
Great guest, his book is well worth a read!
You can’t have enough of Peter Zeihan…..the mind of this guy !
Brilliant thank you
"there is no win for anyone so be careful who you condemn"
the whole conflict summarized in one sentence
I definitely condemn the ones doing the apartheid
@@Mm-pc8tgand why not the one who guns down women and children in their own homes. Or at festivals?
The only side I'm on is the one that wants this shit stopped. Both sides at the top suck. The people as usual suffer.
@@Mm-pc8tg Define apartheid and then let us know how does it apply to this situation?
hAmas humud humud stop the bullshit hAmas beheading children
Looking forward to hearing from both of you guys ❤❤❤
Brilliant interview and great analysis
Very informative video
Something to note, the video Hamas released of them training for urban warfare and learning to fly their para motors, the training camp used in that video is located at 31°20'22"N 34°16'09"E. Hamas has been using it to train for this attack for at least a year. There is no way they didn't know this was coming.. It's hard to believe that they didn't know. It is also unbelievable that it took their military 6+ hours to respond to the attack.
Israel created hamas snd Netanyahu was fund raising for them in 2019. I think Netanyahu arranged this. They had to know, the security was conveniently down, no soldiers around. Netanyahu smiling and laughing on tv gloating over getting to attack gaza. Netanyahu couldnt help but talk about how israel was now united........ because they were, and still will be, about ready to have a civil war.
They have always known that muslims want to slaughter them its part of Islam, its also in Hamas charter. This time they need to end Hamas!
Almost same template as 9/11
Arrogance is the answer. They thought their technology and equipment + fake deterrence sentiments led them to failure. Total failure for which they will go back to square one with Arab countries.
I'm a Canadian arab who grew up with the Middle East complex. I finally see that the West eyes are opening up to the BS media, which is telling about the situation.
They knew and they will use the story as a cover to change global order one more time
Thank you Peter and Jack. Been waiting for Peter with his incredible insight to analyze all the moving parts to this tragedy in the middle east.
Which of his major predictions during last 15 years that haven't come true do you like best?
F it I’ll watch it again, great guest and show regardless if this is a short one. Thanks guys
What happened to the first one?
@@Opocriousbad audio. Peter was way too quiet, no bass in the voice, almost unlistenable while still being highly listenable
It is truly reassuring that there are still a few people out there, who seem to know almost everything...
Always enjoy the two of you together- I am addicted to Peter Zeihan, and I share his stuff constantly. I also quote him…he makes me look smarter…so keep the updates coming!
6 months ago listening to Peter was depressing NOW its encouraging!!
I'm sorry, his style is doesn't work for me. Sounds boring.
Damn they pulled the first version of this episode QUICK 😳
Bro I'm saying, I ain't even get to finish watching it. Helped customers came back unavailable
Was the first version too spicy?
What’d we miss??
@@OpocriousI dont know. But TH-cam is so damn touchy these days about everything. It could have been an image of a blown up tank and that could have got them copyright struck.
Thank you so much for saying it, cuz I went to watch it barely an hour after it originally posted earlier this evening, and it immediately came back and said I couldn't, it was "unavailable" and/or a "private" video. I instantly found it to be incredibly suspicious and that if it was no longer watchable, I figured it was almost certainly due to ¥T sensor ship, but even though that was my interpretation I still couldn't be sure. So I appreciate you (all) for saying something about it, and for letting me know that whatever the case is/was, that it wasn't purely just my take on it only. Clearly something was up about it, and no surprise there. Really just glad that despite that I'm still able to finally watch it now. Stay frosty
Everytime I want to know what is not true, I listen to Zeihan
