Rob and Ruairi dissect the not-so-prescient forecasts made by geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan back in 2010. Strap in as we explore the following: https://www.businessinsider.com/stratfor-predictions-for-the-next-decade-2010-1

The Zeihan Prophecies:

Rewind to a decade ago when Zeihan confidently painted a vivid picture of the world’s future. From China’s impending collapse to the unraveling of global supply chains, Zeihan’s crystal ball was fairly controversial.
We’ll revisit his bold claims and examine how they stack up against the actual events that unfolded.


China’s Meltdown:

Zeihan’s recurring prediction of China’s imminent collapse has become a familiar refrain. But did the dragon really stumble as he foresaw?
We’ll dive into the nuances, separating fact from fiction, and discuss whether China’s trajectory aligns with Zeihan’s dire warnings.


Middle East Missteps:

Zeihan’s insights on the Middle East were equally striking. He warned of seismic shifts triggered by American actions.
However, with hindsight, we’ll explore how America’s decisions—intentional or inadvertent—may have altered the course of history in the region.


The Art of Being Wrong:

Zeihan’s style is unapologetically confident, but even the most astute analysts can miss the mark.
We’ll dissect where Zeihan’s predictions veered off course, acknowledging that the geopolitical landscape is often more complex than any crystal ball can reveal.


Lessons for the Future:

As we reflect on Zeihan’s hits and misses, we’ll discuss the importance of humility in forecasting.
Perhaps the real lesson lies not in being right all the time, but in learning from our missteps and adapting our perspectives.



Join us as we unravel Zeihan’s geopolitical tapestry, while shining a light on the moments when the crystal ball grew cloudy. Tune in to The More Freedom Foundation Podcast for a candid exploration of foresight, fallibility, and the ever-evolving world stage.
