    Sorry Peter, first democratic Elections in Poland were held in 1919, not 90s, after WWI.
    Poland has one of the longest traditions when it comes to Elections, dating back to the 15th Century, btw

      "After the Second World War, Poland fell into the Soviet sphere of influence as a satellite state and became controlled by the communists, who rigged the elections of 1947 to ensure they controlled the entire Polish government. There were regular elections in Poland from that time on; however, no elections until the groundbreaking elections of 1989, marking the fall of communism, were free. "
      Poland knows as much about democracy as I do about walking on the moon.

      You're right, but I'm not totally sure Peter's wrong - it was a wandering point, but he had been talking about Poland in the decades after emerging from being a Soviet satellite state. I took it as meaning their first democratic elections in the modern (post world war/cold war) era. Do with that what you will.

      Storm Shadows, ATACMS and drones now give UA the capacity to hit targets several hundred kilometers inland. But that only allows to hit the logistical and supply nodes leading to the front line. If the objective is to hit the industrial heartland which is actually producing the weapons, then yes, they will need even longer range systems to do so. We're talking ground-launched TLAMs or similar.

    I used to live (civilian) in the Fulda Gap (3:35) just after the wall came down. This was where WWIII was supposed to start as it was the most westerly position of the Warsaw Pact forces. Although Paris was "only" a seven hour drive from Fulda, the hardest part was just to get from Fulda to Frankfurt, because in those days, there were basically no East-West Autobahns because they didn't want to facilitate the Russian advance. It would take well over an hour to get from Fulda to near by Frankfurt on twisty country roads.
    When we saw the U.S. army base in Fulda being shut down after the Cold War ended; within three months, four out of the five whore houses near the base entrance also closed. 🤣

      Mr Zeihan is analyzing the Weimar Triangle purely as some kind of "static" post-2022 military "Alliance de faits" using early 20th Century military ideas. This is wrong.
      In 2024, the "Weimar Triangle" is becoming (IMO) a very dynamic group of the EU's Main Political, Military and Economic Poles (pun intended). This 3-points of the EU are France - Germany - Poland now.
      In fact, I would argue that the military side of the Weimar Triangle is far from currently being prime . Cases in point?
      - The 3 countries have VERY different procurement strategies, with Poland dead set on its US & South Korean partnerships. And both Germany and France adopted more EU-centric / National approaches.

      Poland has always been the key to the security of Western Europe (and on the other side of the coin, the security of Russia). That's why Hitler and Stalin agreed to split it. Part of the Molotov/ Ribbentrop pact was an agreement that Poland would no longer exist because its independence was a threat to both sides.
      I suspect that the reason no in Europe has cared about Poland in 30 years is because the US has underwritten the security of Western Europe since 1946. As we here in the US begin to reinsert our heads into our rectums and begin to forget the lessons of the last century, namely the dangers of isolationism, I imagine Europe is going to become a hell of a lot more interested in Poland.

    West Spanish Peak in Colorado is 13,600 ft. in elevation. That video is being shot from somewhere around 13,000 ft on the ridge approach to the summit. That is a nasty place to wait out a storm. And under a tree ain't a great place to be when lightning strikes around the peak! I remember my hair standing straight up from static electricity on Mt. Yale in the Collegiate Peaks.

      I get very confused regarding what is, or is supposed to be, Poland. It has changed size and shape so many times, over such a long period. Do you feel the current borders are…. I’m not sure of the correct word I should use. Is the population happy with the borders as they stand?
      Given that some of the post-WWII agreements happened Because Western Europe and the US both knew we couldn’t fight Russia, I have mixed feelings saying the West abandoned Poland, East Germany, and Eastern Europe to Stalin. It had to have felt that way, but I suspect the alternative would’ve been Stalin continuing to march westward. There’s no way he was ever going to come help stop Hitler (a former ally) and not keep what he’d taken control of from Hitler, especially not the part of Germany his soldiers had come through.
      It would’ve been great if the west could’ve defeated Hitler without Russia stepping in. It was a deal with the devil against the then-currently-worse-devil of Hitler-which seems to happen a lot in politics. Poland’s position between Germany & Russia’s a dangerous place to be. I’m just glad Poland and Germany are working hard to build an alliance that could make both stronger!

    It's an interesting conundrum - if threatened by a country with vast strategic depth do you go all in and invade knowing that any remnant is going to exploit your stretched supply lines ... or do you settle in for a long haul defence knowing it will come down to a slugging match of fires-in-depth where the victor is the one with a sustainable supply chain and the economy to support it?
    Personally i couldn't think of anything more masochistic than invading Russia - the military challenges aside, the real inhibition is that you as the invader would become morally responsible for all of Russia's social problems, its unemployment, alcoholism, HIV, decrepit infrastructure, educational failures... the list goes on.

      You should be looking for 80 to 90 year cyclical patterns, not 100. That's based on "The Fourth Turning" 1997 by Strauss and Howe.
      But also based on The Fourth Turning and it's 2023 sequeal "The Fourth Turning is Here" there are several outcomes that look nothing like the last 4th Turning crisis and some scenarios that completely break the Strauss-Howe Generational Historical Model.

      Please do not do this!!! Lying flat on your stomach is a terrible option! If lightning strikes nearby and you are flat on your stomach, the electricity will travel through your whole body. That's the worst case scenario!
      Instead, crouch down with your feet touching (very important). Then hug your legs so that you become sort of a ball. Do NOT put your hands on the ground. By touching your feet together, electricity from a nearby lightning strike can travel along your feet as opposed to up one leg and then down the other. By hugging your legs you shorten the distance the charge travels through you should you really get hit.
      If you're in a wooded area the biggest danger are falling branches. Look for younger trees and seek shelter there.

      FYI, the western European nations aren't "importing" those people to bolster their populations. Those suicidal policies are forced on them by the same people Russians fear, Soros and the like. That's why right leaning political parties are gaining in popularity across western Europe. Only time will tell if the western Europeans can save themselves at the polls.
      The US doesn't have the demographics problems most of the rest of the world does.
      Also, the US's military is stronger than the rest of the world combined.

    His lack of a video talking about the debate is deafening by it's silence.
    I've been looking forward to seeing how he spins to say Biden will still win somehow
