The Absent Superpower: How America's Shale Revolution is Changing the World

In this episode, we delve into Peter Zeihan's book 'The Absent Superpower,' which explores the global implications of America's shale revolution and its stepping back from the world stage. We unpack Zeihan's arguments, including how the shale revolution has granted the US energy independence, reshaped global geopolitics, and led to three major predicted conflicts: the Twilight War in Russia, the Gulf War between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and the East Asian Tanker War. We also discuss the future of US involvement and how energy and demographic shifts might lead to a new world order.
