Recommended for its bleak take on globalization, energy and food supply, though some commenters question how objective it is.

Someone else posted this a few weeks ago, but it truly blew my mind. Watch a few minutes of this, starting from the given timestamp: [VIDEO] Europe is in more trouble than I imagined.

Could this be to vent gas to keep Russian pipelines from bursting during the winter due to a lack of flow from the sanctions? I’ve only recently heard about this phenomenon from a talk with Peter Zeihan[1], but have been unable to find more information about oil pipelines freezing and bursting. Time stamped to where he brings it up: [1] [VIDEO]

My (recent) introduction to Zeihan was this talk he gave to pig farmers. [VIDEO] The audio is a little rough, but it's worth the watch (in my opinion). Yeah, he comes across as a bit forward and a bit nationalistic, and clearly not every prediction is going to land, but I think he's got some really good observations and seems fairly credible. Better at least than most of the talking-heads you see on the news.

I found this compelling but I'm still seeing how objective it is as we carry out this timeline: [VIDEO]
