He's well regarded and makes some compelling arguments for the support of Ukraine and the overblown concern over China's future, regarding Taiwan.

Zeihan's predictions on the UK are a continuation of what Mosley started in the 1940s.

The UK is terminally tossed to and fro between the US and Russia. In the long run, the UK will become as tiny as Australia is today.

Russia will dissolve again and again in the coming century. This is not the reason the UK will become an industrial powerhouse or the reason it will fall under US economic control, over this period. The specifics are what's interesting, not a vaguery like:

"The UK is terminally tossed to and fro between the US and Russia."

I don't think Mosley's positions hold much water, today. He was a reactionary, of sorts and delusional at worst.
