Zeihan is the best pop-geopolitics, but keep in mind that his 4 books are 99% oversimplified. Get them from libgen and spend 2-3 months reading them, rereading them and discussing them. Preferably somewhere that isn't here.

Months from now, when you've managed the leap from uninformed to vaguely informed, decide whether you want to properly study international relations, political economy, macroeconomics, history or strategic studies. But right now, you're not ready for them.

Also, screenshot this post so you don't forget.

Turbo cringe, start with Machiavelli and Italian and American elite theory, and combine that with Morgenthau and K Waltz works on realism/neo-realist international relations theory. This will lay the foundation to expand and rest your later studies upon. Go to the core, not pop shit that insults your intelligence. But you do you.

All this will setup a strong foundation, but is years worth of studying, and neglects political economy which is vital. T&H picks on political economy but needs to be further supplemented by other sources too

Good thread on T&H

>Let's give the pseud a text that requires preexisting intellect, there's no way they could struggle at reading it

You’re actively insulting his intelligence, I’m giving him the core literature they have you read in uni. It’s okay if he starts with Zeihan, but his works are completely downstream of all these thinkers and authors.

You have read his post, right? I reckon you should recommend a book on the cognitive prerequisites for avoiding shitloads of spelling errors.

And now he has your recommendations and mine to go together. If he is too stupid to make anything of it, maybe a lurker or two will. That’s how 4chinz works.
