This will be a place where I will strive to post every Sunday a very intellectually rigorous video for analysis and discourse. Drive by poo flinging in these threads will be severely frowned upon. Put on your big boy pants for these threads.

I'll try very very hard to make sure the video is less than an hour to give everybody a chance to watch it and comment over the week. And yes, I know, today isn't Sunday.

First up at bat: The impending total economic collapse of China.

(Audio is soft, it appears this was an surreptitious recording of the speaker)

If you've seen other Zeihan videos posted, yes, there is some repeated material. But trust me, the BULK of this video is brand new including lots of Trump analysis.

"This is now the equivalent of an Obama stimulus package in China .... every 17 days."

Huge Zeihan fan. And yeah, the map that accompanied that quote is amazing.

Japan is playing the game very well right now. "Will $500 billion be enough? Don't know; good start though."

I knew Italy was in deep yogurt but hadn't heard some of the numbers he used. That Eurozone bad loan graphic makes it look like they're going to collapse any minute now. 80 times worse than the bad loan rate during the US crisis? Holy crap. 271 days late, with a partial payment only, and you're still in good standing...

Bump for the night shift.

No time to watch right now, will get in later. Great topic to start with.

A suggestion. I still see no difference between this board and WWE. A serious discussion area is needed more. We have an area with supposed less moderation. Make an area for serious topics with no horseshit allowed. A topic in the main room with a warning in the op that will get lost isn't enough.

Not a bad thought. Thoughts from the moderation team? You'd be the ones who actually have to deal with enforcement.
