Is Peter Zeihan A Fraud?

Peter Zeihan has made a name for himself in geopolitics through books, lectures, and a very popular YouTube channel, but is his analysis as careful as he claims? In this video, Alex Sheremet analyzes a series of manipulative videos Peter Zeihan uploaded on the Wagner PMC / Prigozhin coup in Russia, alongside his rather strange commentary on markets, cryptocurrency, and the price of bitcoin. In some ways, Peter Zeihan might very well be a poster boy for Knoll's law: the idea that "everything you read in the newspapers is absolutely true, except for the rare story of which you happen to know a lot about".
