USA seizes oil tanker off Venezuelan coast
- someperson 11mo agoA few years ago geostrategist author Peter Zeihan predicted that in his deglobalized world (where the US steps back from global policing in favor of domestic matters), the breakdown of the international order it built would cause the government of India would engage in international piracy of Middle Eastern oil shipments destined for East Asia (since cargo ships are slow, unarmed and transit easily interceptable waters for India's navy). He makes lots of extreme and usually wrong predictions. And he's not yet right on that. But this reminded me that wild international piracy prediction.
- pestatije 11mo agothat doesnt make sense: in a deglobalized world there wouldnt be shipments of anything to anywhere
- someperson 11mo agoDeglobalized is the term Zeihan uses, he means "end of the US security order"
