I have been in Poland 🇵🇱 many times as I have so much love for the country and the people! I can say by far Poland 🇵🇱 is the New Tiger 🐯 in Europe!

Visited Poland last summer and before that in 2016. What a difference. I mean, it was great even back then, but now - just wow. What a prosperous, powerful, beautiful country.

I was in Wrocław in the beginning of March, in 2024. That place is great!

We love Poland and it's lovely people! I sail there. 🇸🇪

As an American, I would like to thank Poland, the Polish people, and agencies for supporting Ukraine. It is, of course, in your interest and that of the free world to do so, but I also think you have just collectively stepped up and taken on the tough task of assisting Ukrainian families as well as the effort to stop Psychopath putin's hideous war on humanity.

4:17 It was six years later - in 1610 🙂. An not "held it for generation". It lasted 2 years, untill 1612 and Polish troops for most part were actually locked within borders of Kremlin. There's a deeper historical context to what happend back there and it's more complex than just Polish troops present in Moscow.

We are going to have a party like it’s 1610 again 🇵🇱💪

Yess. Full videos of country specific comments of recent times! Smart!

Yes, Poland is a historic regional power.

3:45 "We'll haeve the Poles being more and more and more agressive [...] and push into the former Russian space in order to break it." (1) We, the Poles are not aggresive and we are not getting "more agressive". We just want to leave in pace, do our things within our borders and within EU. There's no talk, thought or need to go anywhere outside our own borders. "Aggressivenes zero!" 😉 - as one famous senctence from a Polish commedy tells. (2) I'm not sure what territory do you mean by "Russian space", but if anything within current Russain borders than nobody in sound mind in Poland has any serious plans of attacking Russia. We may prepare for possible conflict but only as a defensive part of it. Unless you meant a former Soviet USSR territory (?). Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine and Belarus (the last one with a caveat) are independent states, first 3 are NATO members - again: no need for us, the Poles to "push into" their territories.

Thank you!

I'm the descendant of Polish immigrants. I've never been more proud.......

Wow man so great I just subscribed Will you upload the full speech? That would be awesome

also known as motivation speaker

Do you have the full Polish presentation or just the panel discussion and clips of it?

Was it Poland or the Grand Duchy of Lithuania that conquered Moscow? Of course there was what I've heard that they called "Nasze dwa domy" or the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania, so it might be difficult to untangle. Their winged hussars saved Germany and Austria from the Mongols and Ottomans, then they were rewarded by partitions. If Poles are suspicious of their neighbors, they have reasons.

Nice belt buckle

Wonder what they cut at the end

Does the CIA give the President USA facts of this nature ?

My biggest criticism of Peter Zeihan's presentation is his tie. "Yeah, yeah....globalization, demographics, blah...blah...blah..." But holy shit Peter, you wore that tie in public!?

Poland has 38 million people and a GDP of $942 billion!

First statement is wrong. The last biggest industrial rise happened just before regaining independence. Russia has imposed very high tax duty on imported fabrics from Germany. So what the German industrialists did? They moved their factories to Łódź which was a small village just behind the border. Łódź turned into industrial hub in no time. As the entire region was impoverished the effect was even more dramatic. Economic growth rate dwarfed UK or Germany as they were much ahead of Poland. Growth was so big that it impacted politics and both Imperial Russia and Germany started considering creating "independent but friendly only to them" Polish state. It turned out, Poland at that stage did not need foreign powers to help get to independence, it just need them to be exhausted after the war.

US naval power Zeihan says we need at least 800 destroyers and frigates to support globalization, but that we have only 60. He says this is because our navy “retooled” after the cold war. At the post-war height of our naval power in 1987, we had 184 destroyers and frigates (Regan’s 600-ship Navy). Nothing like 800. By 1992, a year after the cold war, we had 207. Today, we have about 63 (this is the only place Zeihan has his numbers right). The only time we had anywhere near the 800 Zeihan says we need for globalization was in 1945, at the end of WWII, when we had 738 destroyers and frigates (and a 6768-ship Navy). By the next year, in 1946, we had 180 destroyers and frigates, having “retooled” for peace time.

What presentation was that first clip?

What's with the tie?

The Poles occupied Moscow in 1610 (not 1604)! And they didn’t hold it for a generation but only for two years, until 1612 (though they continued to have a significant influence until 1613/14).

Karol Gustav sad, that with his canons and polish hussars he could concur whole Europe

I can only believe his predictions are not as ridiculous as his tie is.

Full vid?

Nice pics of the ships .. any graphs 📈 of USA dept? 😅

Demographic situation of Poland is pretty bad. Peter Zeihan should have known that.

*WAIT FOR IT...*

Love your work. Lose that tie.

We know what our aim is...

Where does he get the 800 destroyers number?

@14:01 I want to put forward a hypothesis since Peter does not, if we seperate the real economy from the financial sector, and we concede that yes consumption and investment led growth falters, we still have a very large swath of capital and liquidity that has come about as the end result of all that growth. I therefore foresee that liquidity will move faster from the real economy into the financial sector to be deployed into yield, commodities and digital commodities like btc. Remember if the incentive to invest in the real economy is faltering, debasement and inflation are still very real issues. If the end goal is to try and accumulate assets by generating profits in the real economy, then we skip the profits part and go straight to the accumulation of assets part. So many, I believe, wrongly conclude that low growth means a bearish equity or commodities or precious metals market, Im simply saying I believe the opposite will happen.

What an excellent presentation

Dlaczego tylko urwany kawałek?

Why did you cut out the end of the presentation and splice the beginning to the end? He was about to speak about the guns of Poland and it ends???

@21:40 you say "if you look around the world right now, the middle east is the calmest part of it"? really?

The guy who said Russia's oil infrastructure will collapse like after the Soviet Union collapse.

Those are bold claims by Peter, I’ll believe when I see it

I do not agree with everything but definitely interesting perspective with several valid points

I think current Polish government should listen that sometimes

Mr Zeihan has made a great transition from an expert in Global Demography, Warfare & Geo-Politics to Stand-Up Comedy...

No to teraz po tym wykładzie wszyscy będą nas kopać w dupę i jak zwykle mamy przerąbane bo wszystkie hieny po sąsiedzku się zlecą i nie tylko.

"Tends to get gobbled up easily " lmfao . Poland has won some of the most importend battle of European history but I'll take this clowns word for it

This video is cut up, edited, and contains content from other sources to make its own point, not the one Peter is presenting at this talk.

@21:04 "That's Canada, so you know they're good for something"...........That's mean Peter.....badmouthing the best neighbors we've ever had

Guy is a hack with a self-absorbed presentation style. Couple of interesting points.

I have been following Peter for quite some time now. I am curious why the seems so dogged about not using Android (if Apple has such a horrible supply chain problem and is/was overprized as can be).

Samsung S23/23 are excellent phones

I would take his remarks about Poland with a grain of salt given he had polish audience. I know all too well what's our weakness.

That's the point of 700+ i guess? (The mentioned PiS government paid out monthly 500, then 700 per child - families that felt encouraged with that may not always supply doctors, lawyers, scientists and engineers, but army recruits - quite likely)

Black swan event, that can render all geopolitical projections wrong is mass scale introduction of humanoid robots, it will create new economics it is new model, of course hand in hand with development of A.I.

Poland is Eastern Europes Celtic Tiger similar to Ireland in the early naughties . Unfortunately Peter is wrong about his pontificating around outcomes he claims are inevitable. I must say he’s fun to watch and is always entertaining.

Tough crowd haha

Zeihanism

Polish problems come from the fact that it never had the industrial revolution. It was sponsored by the governament beafore and after llww.Its a commerce and consumption oriented society. Not mutch in terms of the modern product design and production.

Has George Friedman possessed Peter’s body?

Here it's been 3-8 through out national exisrence. If I recall right women avarage birth is 3.7 kids now

Sartorial elegance is not Zeihan's strongest ... suit.

The first Chinese carrier was a casino and the second was a copy of the casino. 🤣🤣🤣

Geez Peter, you are going to get Putin even more paranoid 😅

Why will you never use Android? Respect from Australia

That tie hurts my eyes.

5:32 Peter in Poland is traying find partner to make 3 to 5 kids. lol. very stait forward. lol

Numbers of people aren't really significant in this century when war is involved, as Ukraine has shown. They are outnumbered by 3 or 4 to 1 and numerically in tanks and aircraft far beyond that. Yet have destroyed Russia military capability by about 40% in 2 years. Yes, they have had a lot of weapons provided but in numbers of people it hasn't hurt them much. Wars in the 21st century will be a lot different than the 20th.

23:18 apple sucks lol Tim got blackmailed on the island and it has no security now lol😊

Anyone with a weird neck tie has issues

The Austrian Empire asks, “what are we? Chopped liver?”

Peter and his ties.

Why would you put a person in a GERMAN WWII uniform (at 2:29) used now days for reconstructing battles and suggest that's a modern polish solder? Shame on you!

I don't get it. Why does he think that Poland will be happy with the mid sophistication tier productions?

All this DEMGRAPHICS, yeah, but you don't mention (so I assume not account too) IMMIGRATION. USA without immigration wouldn't have good demographics either.

This guy also tells people to hold dollars and not buy bitcoin…

A word of a comment: Poland has exactly same demographic problems as its surrounding countries

Poland was in Moscow for 1 year and Russia ruled Poland for 100s of years.

great social engineering, I must admit

i feel sorry for you peter

Przestańcie klepać nas po pleckach i wmawiać nam jacy jesteśmy cudowni. Zostawcie nas w spokoju, nie będziemy się bić dla waszych profitów. Get out of our land we do nor trust you!!!!

I hear a lot of fun ideas, but this russia vs poland fantasy only plays out if NATO Article 5 doesn't trigger a global thermonuclear war.

Poland will never be a superpower or an empire. We should stop behaving like it's something that should happen. Poland should be an average country, but good in its averageness. We should aim at having good life quality not some pipe dream of being an empire. Mam nadzieję, że Polacy to zrozumieją.

Looks like Peter Zeihan has a large following in Poland. I find that difficult to comprehend. Most of the real experts in the wide range of topics this man brags about really can't take much of what he says seriously.

Poland has 38 million people and a GDP of $700 billion. Russia has a population of 143 million and a GDP of $1,500 billion.

The biggest problem in Poland is that the country is heavly divided and if this will continue then in the next decade there might be a huge civil war.

what is the cost to stop angin polish people ? max 5% od budget, simple math 400,000 deaths/per year - 300,000 born/per year = minus 100,000 / 3= 33,000 * 1 000 000= 33 000 000 000 PLN (its like 5% of budget) you do/buy flat and give it to 2+2 family from Brazil (many speak polish), from Uzbekistan - language similar etc, kids need to be lik few years old AND PROBLEM RESOLVED With LOW COST but to they want realy to resolve it ?

Can we get just the presentation instead of this weird clipped together amalgamation?

I want to know what Peter makes of the seeming inevitability of Ai robots filling this gap for maintaining military might he says population collapse will create for these individual countries. If Elon says there will be 2-3 robots per human in the nearish future, don’t you think robots will replace the need for as many humans in a country’s military? It’s a breakneck race to be the company that comes out on top of the Ai robot race, everyone is working on it. Doesn’t this factor? It seems to me that countries are (and should be) just concerned with stacking as many short term wins as possible so the war chest stays full and resources are flowing to implement Ai in the military so you can stretch those short term wins into longevity. If you (as a country) are losing in the present moment at the dawn of Ai , you may just keep losing forever because the deck will be stacked in favor of those powers that win the Ai race in the short term (25 yrs). What say ye Peter? 🧐🙏

Zeihan's wishful thinking towards Germany on full display!😅

What will the future look like? AI driven robots.....

So... are we seeing the rise of Polish Militarism (based on bad experiences in the Second World War), like history saw the rise of Prussian Militarism (based on bad experiences in the Thirty Years' War)?

This guy 🤣

You are correct in the unknown analysis of the world's economic future. But, like most economists, you leave out the consideration of an overpopulated world and the natural environment's ability to provide the resources to feed this greater and greater number of people. So, the greatest question is, will the countries losing population be able to rethink their economies and rebuild an economy that is green and sustainable? Depopulation with a green and sustainable economy is the ultimate challenge for the world's future.

0:50 Well, recent history Not “easily”, no. The terrory was occupied in the Swedish deluge in the 17th century and in WWII. It was annexed by combined diplomacy and military moves before. “The Swedes” no. Also “it’s” coastline implies a stable coastline which is nonsensical. The time of Sweden’s Great Power Era was the one time of its massive invasion of Poland (shortly after 1612, as he fails to mention) - was when the formal coastline was very small, and there were other parts of it on the other hand that aren’t there. So making statements about this coastline and Sweden is nonsensical, as is either one of those two together with “always” because those are mutually exclusive periods And no it is not because of its treatment, it’s because “we” the person speaking are far away and don’t see it peeking through, so it’s out of their minds. Not part of the discourse

MORE AND MORE .... PETER ... .... YOUR SHIT IS GOING TO STICK ON A KREMLIN WALL‼️ 😅

We have terrible demographics, our army is small in terms of people. Forget it. We now have our golden era - wyż demograficzny. From now we are on decline.

Doesn't Poland have a worse fertility rate, and therefore worse future demographics, than Germany?

This is a mash up and not a keynote speaker thing.

peter wants you to believe you need to be taxed more to build navy ships so his investment in the military industrial complex will grow
