Justification for the end of the known world Got around to write. I don't know what else I'll read before the end of the year, but The End of the World is Just the Beginning by Peter Zeihan will definitely be number 1. Simply amazing in its content, factuality and proof of a simple fact - the world we previously knew is a thing of the past.

The following is the text in the original language. Lufthansa announced the loss of 20,000 flights. In a month, most air traffic in the world will flow through the blockage of the Hormuz channel. In fact, this is all a legacy of what Zeyhan described in his book back in the 22nd.

The key thesis of the book is that the world order is collapsing, and its legacy will be not just a crisis, but decivilization, if most of the infrastructure we see does not work. The landing of airliners is the first butt of this.

In a great number of books, authors express their thoughts and forecasts, which can be followed or not.. But in this book, the reality is simply categorical. The author takes two factors that influence the future world: demography and maritime routes. The world is entering a stage where there will be significantly more old people than young people, and in Zeikhan’s opinion, for rich countries this trend is already growing. Europe, China, Russia, Japan - these are the regions where, in the early 20s, the marriage of young people led to the collapse of economies, and, in the author’s opinion, to decivilization. The leader in this nutrition is China, in 2020 the retirement of the remaining great generation will begin, and this will probably be the largest number of pensioners in history. According to the author's forecast, China's population will die twice as fast in 30 years.

Why is demographics so important On the right are not only those in working places and manufacturing. The dynamics of robot development are such that despite the poor demographics, in 10 years there will still be a surplus of labor force. On the right is that juveniles are the basis of life. Older people don’t change their phone soon, their car, their apartment, etc.. In fact, a change in the number of young people means a change in reproduction, and, obviously, a change in reproduction. Therefore, the demography of the world, where developed countries are aging, and young countries are facing poor youth - leading up to the collapse of that system in which the remaining 30 rocks lived.

To each other - these are the sea routes. The author respects that the current world is an anomaly. This is due to the fact that the Americans, after another World War, created a system in which they did not try to seize the light, but created a coherent coalition in which they took upon themselves food security. І security in the supply of sea transport, which accounts for 80% of all goods. The legacy of this is globalization, and the world we know. But because of its nature, this world is incredibly overflowing. The interdependence of the world is great, so that any crisis will provoke a Lanzugian reaction throughout the world. Now we know everything through the Hormuzka channel, and there are even more such places of higher education.

In connection with the fact that the United States is leaving light security, there are no countries or coalitions of countries that can join in. Apparently, the world is increasingly divided into regions, which create logistical problems, and will be the mother of the heirs of entire countries..

About those why the United States should go into an offensive post on this topic.
