- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- 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.
@theforsakeen-9014 And that was us not wanting to get involved directly.😂😂 And Putin showed up in our doorway with his pants down. 💩
@@theforsakeen-9014 can you let us know your source of information on this? My understanding is that they have only provided humanitarian aid.
And you have NK flying their shit over in balloons across the border 🤣

Peter is clueless. North Korea can provide Russia 4x-6x more artillery than South Korea can give Ukraine. South only produces 200k per year of 155mm. North Korea is now sending troops towards Ukraine. Will south do that? While South Korea has good grade weapons tech it can not compete whatsoever in artillery production of North Korea, before we here how north is providing “ old stuff” It’s actually false. North Korea has since 2022 drastically increased they’re production and Russia is bankrolling their industry by purchasing 50% new shells and 50% of older stuff nevertheless 5 million rounds of older artillery will cause Ukraine headaches
When you go to North Korea instead of North Korea coming to you. You know things are going bad at home.
I'm sympathetic to people in bad situations trying to get out of them because they got caught up in a spider web they couldn't see or know about....... Those who go visit the spiders home and this there are rules and "Rights"... I almost have no sympathy for them... The mentality of so many younger Americans today is simplistic at best...
Going bad? Their economy is going from strength to strength. More countries are joining BRICS and dumping the petrodollar. Now North Korea's nukes are pointed at the West. Things are going bad for who exactly?
@@user-tb5ck7nl4k Lol. There is no such thing as a petrodollar . There was never any agreement. BRICS is a nothingburger.

Peter Zeihan here, coming to you from the The Shire.
Been there! It's in New Zealand. Nicknamed Hobbiton but the town is called Matamata. If your a diehard LOTR fan maybe but I personally thought it was too pricey
@@josephdoiron8376 I did the night tour with dinner at the end. Was a crispy winter night, and cloudless - added to a perfect atmosphere especially with the lit lanterns on the buildings by that bridge across to the inn - cosy like. Food and beer was excellent. Up at the fake party tree after our meal and drinks was quite spectacular - our milky way galaxy shining above our heads.
But you are right, it was quite expensive. Still a great memory for myself, my partner and her aunt. I'll cherish it. 🙂
@@GlasgowCelticBhoy
Did you do any hobbit hunting? 🤔
@@josephdoiron8376 the Shire is not in New Zealand. Tolkien never even visited the country. Do some basic Googling to see what the Shire and other LotR locations are actually based on.

I enjoyed the "Communists in Cars getting Coffee" clip of Kim and Vlad
Putin isn’t a communist. This is more like a communist and an orthodox Christian fanatic in a car getting coffee.
Not really even funny, kids getting torn apart while fighting his war, innocents getting annihilated, and he drives around having a good time. That's why Zelenskyy is a real hero. He will go down in history as the bravest and toughest of them all. Putin will be thought of as a sissy.
Russia isn’t communist.
Communist in car maybe?
"What's the deal with capitalists?"
Vlad is far from communist, his United Russia party is nationalist & more like the US Republican Party. How come you're commenting on politics, when it's clear you haven't the first clue?
now i want to know what Mr Zeihan considers his top 10 dummest things countries have done..
The North Korea thing isn't really about the South Koreans. It's more to show the US that their strategy is creating undesirable side-effects that they can't control.
As Zeihan said, a stronger North Korea endangers Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Take advice from him…
Brexit, probably.
China's Zero Covid policy
Venezuela shooting themselves in the foot...repeatedly
Argentina's incompetence/corruption
US debt explosion for minimal/nonexistent gains
.....probably 5 other things involving China/Russia
The United States failing to promote education, particularly spelling, has got to be one of the dumbest.
I'm still not sure what dummest is....
Number one dumbest thing is the US baiting Russia into a war which results in China, Russia, Iran and North Korea in an anti-US alliance.
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".
😂😂😂coxky American

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.
Next how nine Korean Women made a baby in one month.
Actually, that isn't new. How do you think the Kaiser Shipyards/USA turned out a liberty ship so fast during WWII? Modular construction is how they turned out 2,751 Liberty ships in 4 years.
That's precisely the way Liberty Ships were built by Kaiser shipyards during WWII. An old technology scaled up.
@@brocklanders6969 I was just gonna mention Kaiser and the Liberty ships and subs
@@brocklanders6969 in fact, a bunch of river ships were welded together in Belgium and the Netherlands.
Quite a few of those still work everyday to this day. Some even with the original (Enterprise) diesel engine. However most have had one or two new engines since then.
As a matter of fact, while I’m typing this, one of those ships is within eyesight of me right now.
Putin and Jong Un spent the day driving themselves around and licking the windows of the limo.

It seems shitting the geopolitical bed has become a favorite Russian national pastime.
And since North Korea was already sending shit balloons he figured why not.

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)
Of course they were there voluntarily! For sure there was a waiting list to join the parade! A bowl of rice and show your love for Kim to avoid being sent to a prison camp creates a great motivation
@@suvetal Let's face it, they were sold on the bowl of rice.

He's completely lost the plot.
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.
More Good News! Thank you, Peter.
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.
It has no longevity as the Korean demographics start to fall out of place, that’s why Poland has been buying Abram’s instead of K-2. Buy what you can keep and maintain cheap now while you have the ability to do so, in 20 years there will no longer be a supply chain for them
@@youarewrong5523that's a wild exaggeration
@@AntoineGrondin South korea has a birth rate of 0.76 its no exaggeration
South korea has a birthrate of 0.76 so its not very far
@@youarewrong5523 Most of the production work is already done by foreign workers who are plenty to import. As long as there is money to make, I don't think demographics will be a production issue. SK also has over 3 million rounds of 105mm artillery rounds which they are not using but rotting in storage rooms due to SK upgrading their artillery. That alone could help Ukraine to keep lobbing its rounds at Russians for at least another 2 years.
Putin: oops!😬
1. South Korea needs to fulfill Poland orders for tanks, before building tanks for Ukraine.
2. North Korea just announce that they are sending cannot fodder to Ukraine, starting from "combat engineers"
3. It is an open secret that China supplies weaponry and ammunition to Russia via N. Korea.
Never underestimate your enemy.
I wonder how much Kim gets for that cannon fodder.
I bet that Poland is willing to be a bit flexible about the delivery schedule.
I predict a rush to freedom by NK engineers
I hate it when my soldiers cannot fodder
Where do you think those Polish tanks are gonna end up?
Peter, get a selfie-stick. It would improve your visuals a lot, since your always outside in such beautiful scenery.
If you get a properly build one, it's also a good self defense stick against animals in the woods you are walking. Not gonna scare a bear away, but atleast a coyote or 2... lol

Since I found you I have been so much less anxious about the state of the world. It is like your "pulled back" view of the world has allowed me to see things more in perspective and more objectively. Taking a wider view of society as a whole like this has reduced my anxiety. I am not sure I am explaining this very well but I am very appreciative of you for this gift.
Peter should point out that the S Korean economy is about the same size as Russia's now.
And with around a third of the population and far less resource availability.

Peter and Bill Browder are some of my favorites on youtube. I hope we hear about South Korean weapons systems being sent to the Ukraine, PRONTO!!
Actually, it is so incredible dumb that I can't believe Putin didn't see this coming. If so, what would be his end game that this was all worth it?
Not a lot of arms manufacturers are willing to sell to russia what it desperately needs right now, so they're not exactly spoiled for choice as to who to buddy up to
@@AeSyrNation Putin and Kim already had an arms deal. This visit was not for weapons.
That makes it all even dumber.
To help give Kim a push over the DMZ line?
Just simple question. Especially if you thing everything is obvious and you are so smart. So - when exactly South Korea will give at least first 100 tanks to Ukraine?
@@andreygilev3942I don’t think tanks are part of this. South Korea is perfectly happy continuing to sell and provide Poland with tanks. The most immediate concern should probably be in terms of artillery shells and precision munitions, which unlike their North Korean counterparts, won’t have an absurd failure rate.
Thanks!
What do you mean “US can’t be rushed?” There’s literally thousands of tanks and bradleys rusting in fields.

We are on the brink my friend. Yet some of you watch the news as if it is anything other than propaganda.
Peter is even a propagandist. He works for US Intel though he cannot say which one. He is basically a CIA demographics expert, nothing more....
You go out and meet people to make friends, they won't come to yoir home while you're chilling. Putin needs allies and can't afford to stay boxed inside his Kremlin mansion
Putin is a pragmatic. He does what he needs to. You better believe, he offered modern nuclear capable Russian missiles to Jong Un. In exchange for conventional military materials.
Putting those munitions factories outside of even ATACMS reach. And at the same time, answering the escalation and provocation by the West in kind without going nuclear himself.
Kim already did last year, this is just a reciprocal visit. Do you people who watch Zeihan not watch the news?
@@mintheman7 Kim visiting Russia is one thing. Putin going to Kim is another. Typically leaders only go in person If they need something from them, especially if their economically much smaller than you.

Not really. They will sell to Europe same as before. They won't be donating a large amount of equipment unless Ukraine has cash up front. Domestically people aren't going to care about Ukraine. And as far as economies, that's why saying, "Oh Russia is smaller than Spain" or whatever is stupid. Let's imagine North Korea doesn't exist and we move South Korea up there and everything else is the same. Does South Korea have a chance against Russia? We'll even add China's nukes. Without the US they'd get crushed. South Korea is more a case of a number of countries either helping Ukraine openly or through the back door. One country is no big deal, I think Russia could win even against the US alone, but when its Poland, and France, and German, and the US, UK, South Korea etc etc the sheer force of it all adds up. Russia's allies may not even want it to be strong in the first place and none of them can do things Russia can't besides maybe Iran with the drones.
@@Minerals333 very biased, he didn't mention SK providing more ordinance to ukr than the entire NATO alliance up till now.

China cannot do it. They simply do not have the expertise to do so; and neither do they want to finance that on their own, because it is massively expensive. Back in the day, the west did it, to get russian gas. But it was the west, with Germany and USA at its helm. In Principle the masters of manufacturing big complicated things. China cannot do that.
VLAD THE STABLE GENIUS MAN
Another great video, Peter!
Your sense of humour is very similar to that of the late P.J. O'Rourke - a hilarious guy whose books I love!
A quote from him when he was with an Italian-US aid convoy in Somalia (I think) in the late 80s - this is from his book "Give War a Chance" -
"Then with thousands of square miles of sand all around us, the Italians found a mud-patch for us to camp in.
I took two Halcion and lay down in the mud, and I understand that the entire US military presence in Jalaaqsi were kept awake all night by my snoring. "
Love that butterfly that keeps trying to get in front of the camera.
If you are one degree off of your heading in sixty miles you will be one mile off course. The USA still has at least two ships with large radar domes to verify over the horizon missile accuracy thousands of miles down range. How many rocket launches have the North Koreans monitored for accuracy when lobbing a missile at a target six thousand miles away? If you are aiming for Los Angeles or San Francisco just one tenth of a degree off course either left or right there isn’t that much to hit. Even better just a degree off in pitch and the missile goes in the ocean or into the desert. And then the fun starts.
Answer your own question please: how accurate are North Korea's missiles? All I see is a bunch of 'ifs'. If aliens attack next month, this is all irrelevant.
Haha, Putler mastermind 😅
You’re a r a t
it wasn't really tho, this was as much about the SK as about the US, since the beginning of the conflict SK has given more ordinance to ukraine than the entire NATO alliance combined, so him letting them know he is going to give advanced weaponry to a crazy country that just recently dumped garbage on their country with no care is a serious threat.
That clip of both Kim and Vlad driving in the limo seriously makes me wonder if maybe life really is a simulation 😅
Now I know you don’t know what you’re talking about. Ships are cut in half and welded back together at shipyards all over world whenever they extend a ship. It doesn’t mean anything.

Somehow I imagine scale matters when doing something like that... Welding together a normal size ship may be easy, but when dealing with sections so massive they barely fit in the dock?

@@PandaPanda-ud4ne yes absolutely. And, the west is heavily invested as well.
The scary part is the standing order of North Korea, at the front they have a Lot of artillery aimed at the cities. The order is, if someone starts shooting, they all shoot till they are out of ammo. Now we don't know how this would go in reality, but it causes a lot of stress.
However now that russia is involved, seems they got no choice to do something.... i hate all of this..... but it does remove a lot of dictatorships that are still left when this is all over
I see lots of people on this board are sneering at the recent Putin/North Korea agreement. I can assure you that no one in Asia is sneering. They regard it as a serious, concerning outcome. Just like the upcoming similar agreement with Iran will be taken very seriously by everyone in the Middle East. Even the people on this board will take it seriously if Putin decides to assist the Houthis who are blockading shipping planning to transit the Suez.
What is he going to assist them with?
If he helps the Houthis he pisses off China. Bad move. He’ll probably try it.
Come for the scenery, stay for the geopolitics!
'Let's just I did not crash' like why would it?
I keep saying. Somewhere in 2040 or whenever the war in Ukraine will be over, NATO should award Putin with an "Employee of the Year" award because not a single NATO diplomat or secretary managed to achieve so many things for NATO's interests in such a short time.

Oooh butterflies!
I love when Peter velds it together for me.
it didnt backfire, I dont think the Russian's care at all what South Korea does
You're right. They have absolutely no problem with South Korea arming Ukraine or Poland. Of course, Putin did invade Ukraine to lock NATO out of Eastern Europe. That worked well.
No no of course they dont care what one of the most advanced militaries in the world is doing.
Keep coping
Yet, Putin is warning South Korea against sending weapons to Ukraine.😂
Hahahahahahahaha! I guess that's the point, Russia is all bluster and not much sense these days.
