Top Economic Advisers Forecast World War
Zero hedge ^

Kyle Bass writes:

Trillions of dollars of debts will be restructured and millions of financially prudent savers will lose large percentages of their real purchasing power at exactly the wrong time in their lives. Again, the world will not end, but the social fabric of the profligate nations will be stretched and in some cases torn. Sadly, looking back through economic history, all too often war is the manifestation of simple economic entropy played to its logical conclusion. We believe that war is an inevitable consequence of the current global economic situation.

Bravo Sierra. The last 2 WWs had nothing to do w debt restructuring. It was all about - I suggest you read up on Muslim politics and nazism.

You may want to study up on the Weimer Republic and the concept of “Hyperinflation” before you dismiss the idea out of hand. There were precursors to the Nazi’s gaining power in 1933 after its leadership got done with prison stretches 8 years before that. You should also do some studying on the Great Depression; it was not just an american phenomenon.

As for WWI, in 1914 a lot of the europeans were feeling the ill effects of measures such as income taxes, central banking, universal medical care, and other features of the welfare state that we partially adopted in 1913 (and that screwed us 25 years later) and that the europeans had went all in on in the 1880’s...

Hmmm...

How does an economically weak, overwhelmingly militarily powerful nation deal with it’s economic problems.

Always.

(But not this time, oh no, we’re special LOL!)

All economic signs are pointing toward a future where people will have to learn to take what they need in order to survive, or join with those who can while the opposite side will be preparing ourselves to make and grow what we need and be able to protect it from others.

The next war is not that different. We have a marxomuslim in our white house seeking to remove America from the global stage.
Net result? Peace and stability are removed. Everyone then jockeys for position. Then, Iraq takes it nuclear pushing islam on the world, and voila!

Obama will precipitate global suffering like the world has NEVER seen. UN paralleled. Millions upon million will die unnecessarily through direct impact, then there is secondary suffering with no care....then the looting and raiding,,, and then who ever is left over will starve.

Death and suffering like the world has never seen....and possibly never see again....

“Thank” you Barack Hussein Mohammet Bin-Ghazi Obama

The rise of the Nazi Party had EVERYTHING to do with the economic effects of the war reparations debts that the WWI allies imposed on Germany.
