In this episode, we'll be reviewing Peter Zeihan's worldview, and discussing some of the criticisms he receives. Zeihan is known for his provocative geopolitical analysis, but some experts argue that his predictions are often overly simplistic or misleading. One of the biggest points of contention is Zeihan's belief in US withdrawal, his argument that America is retreating from global leadership and focusing on domestic issues. While there may be some truth to this narrative, Zeihan's hyperbolic descriptions ignore the ongoing role of the US in global affairs. In this podcast, we'll explore some of the key arguments and evidence for and against Zeihan's views, and try to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the future of American power and influence in the world.

The episode's emphasis is on Zeihan's views of US foreign policy, but we get into a lot. China, the energy transition, electric vehicles, demographics, all of the Peter Zeihan greatest hits get a review, and often a drubbing by Rob and Ruairi.
