Does the dollar have to be destroyed to prevent a nuclear war. From Alasdair Macleod at lewrockwell.com:
Anti-Russia and anti-China rhetoric is driving the western alliance towards all-out war against them. Increasingly, the only way an ultimate nuclear conflict can be avoided is either for the dollar-based fiat currency regime to destroy itself, or to be given a helping hand by its enemies. Either way, gold is certain to be central to the evolution of these rapidly evolving events and their outcome.
Gearing up for a wider conflict
While it hasn’t been officially declared, to all intents the US with her NATO allies is at war with Russia. This war is not yet an all-out military confrontation. It is being fought through Ukraine as proxy, but that conflict is being badly lost by American-led NATO.
With the Ukraine project visibly failing, rhetoric denouncing Russia and China is now increasing. President Macron of France is seemingly keen to put NATO troops on the ground, but that would be a direct confrontation, which under NATO’s treaty would drag in every member. It would then become officially World War Three, fought under a nuclear umbrella. How long nuclear weapons would not become deployed in these circumstances is anyone’s guess, but probably not for long.
From the American side, the thought of backing down from the Ukrainian mess is currently inconceivable. It is a presidential election year. Domestic spending is ratcheted up to buy votes. But even without this extra spending, the US budget deficit is already heading for 12% of GDP — not that it seems to be deterring the politicians.
Should be the goal of everyone because the only winning move is not to play hasn’t changed.
The Dingleberts in power don’t think so as their bunkers are Sarmat Satan-II (8 Megatons) rated.
One silver lining of economic wipeout is less ability to make war?
