Rob and Ruairi dissect the not-so-prescient forecasts made by geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan back in 2010. Strap in as we explore the following: https://www.businessinsider.com/stratfor-predictions-for-the-next-decade-2010-1

1. The Zeihan Prophecies:

   • Rewind to a decade ago when Zeihan confidently painted a vivid picture of the world’s future. From China’s impending collapse to the unraveling of global supply chains, Zeihan’s crystal ball was fairly controversial.
   • We’ll revisit his bold claims and examine how they stack up against the actual events that unfolded.

2. China’s Meltdown:

   • Zeihan’s recurring prediction of China’s imminent collapse has become a familiar refrain. But did the dragon really stumble as he foresaw?
   • We’ll dive into the nuances, separating fact from fiction, and discuss whether China’s trajectory aligns with Zeihan’s dire warnings.

3. Middle East Missteps:

   • Zeihan’s insights on the Middle East were equally striking. He warned of seismic shifts triggered by American actions.
   • However, with hindsight, we’ll explore how America’s decisions—intentional or inadvertent—may have altered the course of history in the region.

4. The Art of Being Wrong:

   • Zeihan’s style is unapologetically confident, but even the most astute analysts can miss the mark.
   • We’ll dissect where Zeihan’s predictions veered off course, acknowledging that the geopolitical landscape is often more complex than any crystal ball can reveal.

5. Lessons for the Future:

   • As we reflect on Zeihan’s hits and misses, we’ll discuss the importance of humility in forecasting.
   • Perhaps the real lesson lies not in being right all the time, but in learning from our missteps and adapting our perspectives.
