Zeihan was annihilated by Nathan Rich a while back so I decided to lose some IQ points when I saw this video in recommended.

Here are some of his LMAO moments:

  • Claims that Russia will cease to exist in 20 years (LOL)
  • Claims that Russia will start a second holocaust in Ukraine if they win (even the most brainwormed libs aren't going that far)
  • Literally says that Russia is doing mass zombie wave style tactics
  • Repeats Neo-Nazi myth that the Soviet liberating armies were worse to Ukraine and Poland than the Nazis (I can only shake my head at this one)
  • Literally believes that XI is a god emperor who fired everyone who is competent and is completely isolated from the whole world (I guess the Russia trip used a clone instead)
  • I'm not making this shit up, he literally thinks that Xi is like Hitler in his bunker and literally sees no one every day
  • Claimed that most of China's navy can't go farther than 400 miles
  • Believes that America can send two ships into the Indian Ocean to cause China to collapse
  • Does a batshit insane take where he says that China is so incompetent that they didn't know where their own spy balloon was and that America will now hack China because they captured parts from the balloon.

    he literally thinks that Xi is like Hitler in his bunker and literally sees no one every day

    I don't know why I'm focusing on this one but Hitler was famously not alone in the bunker, all the Nazi high brass were crammed in there like sardines as the Soviets were about to kick down the door.

      Yeah this person must be living under a rock for the past 15 years even if you were completely illiterate and uninformed, you only needed to watch the Hitler react meme once to realize the context and the desperation.

      I mean, the principle of the thing is that you've got the head of Germany locked in a room and pointing at plastic tokens on a map while issuing orders to exactly nobody. The metaphor is intended to reflect a leadership that's been decapitated already and simply hasn't acknowledged it yet.

      But then you get into what they think Xi is actually doing, and he's an octopus-like puppet master with his tendrils reaching into everything. China's supposed to be on the verge of doing a Big New Imperialism a la Japan 1910 but also its on the verge of total collapse a la Germany 1944.

    Does anyone remember or know where to find pictures of that van that famously had a surreal manifesto scrawled all over it?

    Because I think we should start a new meme format where we edit unhinged establishment takes onto the van instead. This would be a perfect fit.

    I’m not making this shit up, he literally thinks that Xi is like Hitler in his bunker and literally sees no one every day

    either he's making power plays at CPC meetings by having 2 tea cups or he's socially isolated, make up your minds China watchers

      All CPC meetings are just the bunker scene from Downfall and China has exactly 26 days left before it collapses, you just wait and see.

    Claimed that most of China’s navy can’t go farther than 400 miles

    That's just physics, you either hit Europe or you fall off the edge.

    :geordi-no: Claims that Russia will cease to exist in 20 years

    :geordi-yes: Claims that Russia will cease to exist in 20 years [because they return to the Soviet Union]
