With any infectious disease, there are two main factors to consider: the average number of people an infected person will infect and lethality. Even with accurate data and reporting, these take time to figure out. But if a country (ahem, China) decides to just STOP collecting the data...well then...oh boy.

Note: at 0:13 I say "North Korea" when I should have said "South Korea"

With the South Koreans "keeping nukes on the table," the conversation has now turned into what other countries should build out nuclear options. There are two boxes a country should be able to check before going nuclear: do they have the technical capacity to do so and is there a strong enough strategic reason to have them?

The latest batch of Chinese demographic data has set off ALL the alarm bells, and for good reason. With birth rates barely over one and the population peaking last year, the alarm bells should have been sounded years ago.

We apologize for the sound quality. A replacement microphone has already been ordered, and it has even arrived at Peter's home...but Peter won't be back to pick it up until Friday. So thanks for bearing with us until then!

When your country's history has more than 1 tally mark next to the category - "World Wars Started" - it makes sense to avoid any form of strategic policy. Former German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht did just that. She wasn't a skilled policymaker. She wasn't a strategist. And that's exactly what Germany needed...until now.

A state-owned mining company in Sweden has just stumbled upon a million metric tons of rare earth metals...but what does that mean? Any addition to the rare-earths supply is great, but I don't see this moving the needle much.

With the foundation laid out in Part 1, we'll now look into agricultural zones that are most at risk based upon changes to their moisture and input profiles. More specifically, areas that were not capable of being global producers of foodstuffs until the Industrial Age.

NB: The following video is one I recorded while on my annual backpacking trip in August; please excuse any potential anachronisms.
