| mai said: That was GatheringClouds video (or whatever the guy's nickname) from 2013? As usual dramatic music and tone... what a pessimist :D Do not expect any direct "hot" conflict betwen actual players: economic warfare, aggressive diplomacy, proxies -- nothing new here -- simply for the reason that imperialism has never and will never go into war, results of which it might consider unacceptable, and in case of states with nuclear status it's always unacceptable. Maybe they'll nuke China -- that's as much as my fantasy goes -- given its relatively limited even though not harmless arsenal (pretty sure Congress would vote for that :D they'll reason the public somehow, they always do). So far so good. The petrodollar is no more, looking back one may consider it has "died" in 2014 -- QE is doneskies, whatever has been postponed by the money-printing machine is back in full force, debt bubbles deflate, oil prices went into dive burying any shale, artctic, northsea investment projects along with gazillion of derivatives ponzi scheme of shale oil has created, dive in demand won't keep us waiting -- in other words our generation is surely will be kept entertained for quite a while, enjoing the fall :D Of course, it might take some time (two years or smth) before dollar revaluation stage completes and it hyperinflates (or at least that's the plan). So following years will be a moment of truth for our beloved hegemonic behemoth if it could pull it off or not. My bet, it won't, but surely the grand plan "you'll die today and I'll die tomorrow" will be rushed, because after 6 years of not fixing anything that's the only "good" option. P.S. But in any case always keep smth liks this in your personal library: "Civil defence, ch. 6: Exposure to nuclear explosion". Might come in handy, you never know :D |
Interesting. Hipocrisy scares me, and the US. seem to be in this game. Let´s hope that not that many people get hurt.
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
