Disunited Nations – Who Wins Or Loses When Global Order Breaks Down?

April 1, 2020



"We had the opportunity in the previous three administrations to kind of pick and choose our allies, to kind of come up with a new goal, right-size the structure, if you will. And now hope is just collapsing. So we’ve gone from having over 100 allies back in 1992 to at the end of the Trump administration we’re probably only going to have four. Now the U.S. can thrive with that, but it does mean the degree of international dislocation, chaos and destruction that is coming is going to be a lot more than it necessarily needed to be."



– Peter Ziehan



Kevin: Dave, as we watch the news and we see the response of the general public and the mainstream media, it is so different than the people who I have been talking to and you have been talking to over the last couple of weeks who are listeners to the show, they may be clients of ours. They have spent their lives educating themselves on things, maybe not pandemic, but educating themselves on what a debt bubble looks like when it blows up, and what do you do when you need to be more self-reliant. I’m just really proud of the listeners that we have. It is amazing the degree of intelligence that they bring, and calm during a period of time when many people are panicking.



David: I was listening to Public Radio and there was this tone which was really mournful and desperate, and I thought to myself, “This is just not the kind of interaction we have with our clients. Our clients don’t minimize what is happening today, but they are very clear in their thinking about what they need to do, what makes the most sense, what an action plan looks like. So I agree, I have been very impressed, and there are sort of two worlds. I think the general public is really faced with consternation and stress because maybe they have not considered anything but the status quo up to this point, and now faced with something other than the status quo, they are really not sure what to do.
