Zeihan is garbage and a Deep State mouthpiece for anyone half knowledgeable who has seen his content can attest.
Zeihan is a good example of a “smooth talker” who sure seems knowledgeable about some things and people sit at home and say “I’m being educated” but then he starts talking about a topic which the home viewer is actually knowledgeable about and they say “This is crap! The man is a fool! He’s making this up! He doesn’t know what he’s talking about!” and then Zeihan will shift to something about Bulgarian oil pipelines and the home viewer once again nods their head and says “I’m learning a lot”. But you aren’t being educated. It’s all BS. He’s a Deep State manipulator.
