Summary
Zeihan analyzes how history will judge Zelensky, noting that his survival after a failed Chechen assassination attempt boosted his notoriety. He argues that Zelensky will be credited with leading the second revolution in military affairs by digitizing warfare. The host outlines three potential outcomes: Russian victory leading to Zelensky’s death, a demographic stalemate where he is remembered for technological innovation, or a Ukrainian victory that cements him as a founding father and great European leader.
