Backfire: Putin's North Korean Joyride || Peter Zeihan

If there's anything Putin's good at, its pressing the West's buttons...and his latest trip to North Korea is no exception. However, by signing a new defense pact with Kim Jong Un, Putin might inadvertanly gain Ukraine a new supporter.

South Korean here. SK has maintained a good relationship with Russia since the collapse of Soviet in the 90s, so we tried not to get involved too deeply in the Russian Ukraine war. But Putin somehow decided to fly all the way to the Korean peninsula and shit all over our doorway.😂 That is some peculiar shit.

When you go to North Korea instead of North Korea coming to you. You know things are going bad at home.

[lobstereleven]

South Korea: not my problem.
Putin: I’ll make it your problem
South Korea: ok, bet.

Half a million Samsung, Hyundai, and Hanhwa engineers are putting their gloves on.
Don't mess with the Gangnam Style.

Putin: “I Remain a Master Strategist.”

[joshuachapman]

Imagine the ammo that South Korea can produce at scale. Imagine when Ukraine asks "what am I am able buy?" South Korea will respond with "Yes" and politely show them the Samsung R&D "warehouse".

I enjoyed the "Communists in Cars getting Coffee" clip of Kim and Vlad

Peter Zeihan here, coming to you from the The Shire.

That tanker that was made in two halves completely revolutionised ship building. Now ships are all built in sections, somtimes in differant locations and then the sections are welded together near the end of the build so that it is easier to fit out the interior of each section before welding.

now i want to know what Mr Zeihan considers his top 10 dummest things countries have done..

It seems shitting the geopolitical bed has become a favorite Russian national pastime.

Peters studio backgrounds is starting to look really lifelike. The sideways-down lighting provides depth, but I'm impressed by how well the software was able to bring that butterfly into the image and make it appear to fly between him and the camera. These AI renderings are getting impressive

[Kenneth_James]

Peter's a real social butterfly today

[TheGruntski]

Putin and Jong Un spent the day driving themselves around and licking the windows of the limo.

[michaelpettersson]

Don't worry. Building super tankers at home is something I seldom concern myself with. 😂

There were 20 km filled with singing NK citizens along the road going in from the airport to Kim Square. Fantastic enthusiasm among the NK:s who were surely there voluntarily! (Irony)

Some people don't see that your actions have consequences beyond your intentions. That's especially true if you affect people you didn't think about.

K2 Black Panther is a bad ass tank. This is a 1990s design that went into mass production in like 2014... All the bugs are worked out and they can produce them for cash to purchase the ores they need to produce the armor. They buy raw ore from multiple countries and smelt their own armor alloy.

[SimpleTruth]

Good stuff to know!
Now I can go back to playing my guitar.

I love Peter's insightful comments. He also has a nice voice to just listen to, not overly stressed just calm and insightful. Thanks from UK.
