    Between the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 and The Great War of 1914-1918, there were 31 different little wars, conflicts, and uprisings in Europe. The most peaceful period in European history was the Cold War. That was shattered with the genocides in Yugoslavia in the 1990s.

      Britain does not need a trade deal with the USA. Trade between U.K. and USA is on WTO terms and is perfectly adequate. The USA is already U.K.’s largest single country trading partner and trade is well balanced the two countries. Everyone obsesses about ‘trade deals’ but the reality is that WTO terms is a perfectly good basis for trade.

      Zeihan has sometimes interesting points, but this time there is a lot of nonsense.
      If you do not understand the history of the EU, it’s task, it’s role especially versus the nation states, you make only a foolish statement trying to make a comparison with the US.

    "the end of the EU" has been a prediction for "some time next week" during every week since its conception. We're still here 🇪🇺 🇳🇱 👍.
    Americans don't understand it, because its a confederation built on cooperation, not a federation built on two-party division, like the US. The only thing we can agree on is that the British shot themselves in the foot.

    Can someone provide a source to Peter’s claim of Europe seizing uninsured bank deposits?
    The only thing I can find is Cyprus seizing uninsured bank deposits, 2012 - 2013 on behalf of the European Union. But this wasn’t a case of the EU stealing money, the bank was going bankrupt which would have meant that the money would have been lost anyway. So the EU bailed it out but in exchange got 48% of the uninsured deposits. So if the EU hasn’t done anything more money would have been lost. Maybe he’s referring to something else but I can’t find it.

    To confidently predict the future is big money in today’s world, when financial markets wield so much power. I can’t help likening Zeihan to those anonymous guys on the internet trying to inflate a stock on the stock market for the sake of day trading. He’s just doing it on a larger scale, and probably getting a lot of funds doing it. Sorry, I can’t take him seriously.

The USA is already the UK’s largest single country trading partner and has been for decades. Britain has rapidly negotiated several free trade deals with all of its main trading partners since leaving the EU. That is the route that Britain has chosen. Edit: you can call this a ‘trade path’ if you want to.

    If Peter had spent considerably more time in the EU instead of romping around the mountains, he’d witness firsthand 3 main benefits of the EU:
    1. Peace among nations ever since tWW2
    2. Free movement of people and goods among member states
    3. Very few trade frictions
    I could go on, but looking at the US from the outside and we see red states pitted against blue states, gun violence at alarming rates, an out-of-control opioid crisis, a tot nutjob about to become the next President and Canada about to have its own southern border crisis, I’d prefer to take my chances in the EU. I love the US and all it stands for, but Peter’s generalisations can be irksome at times, as entertaining and smart as he is. He should get out more.

    • @28pbtkh23

      Point #1 has nothing to do with the EU. It has everything to do with defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, with the peace in the 45 years thereafter being guaranteed by a large American military presence on the continent.
      There is now peace and prosperity in Eastern Europe as well now and that is largely down to the efforts made by the USA during the Cold War. Please don’t kid yourself that the EU had anything to do with this.
      As for easier trading conditions, yes the EU has made a large contribution here, but it has been made on the solid foundation of the GATT agreements, now overseen by the WTO.
