The Coming War in Europe
If you are caught off guard in a few months over economic collapse and/or a major war in the middle of Europe - it will be because you ignored the signs, not because you didn’t hear about it.
The Great economics forecaster Martin Armstrong recently wrote: “The real issue here is that NATO was never designed to be a welfare system. It was created in a very different era, and like every bureaucracy, it evolved into something that exists for its own survival. Once an institution has payrolls, pensions, contractors, and political status, it will find reasons to continue forever. That is why NATO has expanded rather than dissolved after the Cold War. That is why there is always a new “existential threat.” If there is no enemy, there is no justification for the budget.
Trump treats alliances like contracts. Contracts require terms, enforcement, and payment. The Europeans want the benefits of an American security, but they do not want the obligations. That is why they always scream “America First” as if it is some crime to defend your own national interest.
But Europe cannot pay. That is the underlying reason for the entire crisis. They are sinking under socialism, overregulation, and endless taxation. Their energy policy has been economic suicide. Their debt is rising while their economies stagnate. Their demographic trend is collapsing. They have built a model where productive people are punished to subsidize bureaucracies and political promises that can never be honored. And the establishment now seeks war because it distracts the people, justifies emergency powers, and provides an excuse for confiscation.”
In a related article a day earlier Armstrong said: “Europe is collapsing economically, and war has become the only policy tool they have left to distract the population from the failure of their fiscal mismanagement, their censorship, their energy suicide, and their endless taxation.
Trump’s instinct here is not wrong: peace comes from aligning interests, not moral posturing. If you want to stop wars, you have to remove the incentive structure that rewards war. Bringing Russia into a broader security framework is not a “gift” to Russia. It is a way to remove the excuse for escalation. It is what should have happened decades ago. But the Neocons cannot allow that because the moment there is peace, the public starts asking where all the money went, why their standard of living is falling, and why government debt has exploded to levels that cannot be sustained.
Europe claims Russia is the threat, yet they have been pushing NATO to Russia’s border for decades while pretending it was “defensive.” If Russia had placed a military alliance on the US border, Washington would have responded the same way. This is not complicated. It is human nature and geopolitics.
The world is moving into a Sovereign Debt Crisis. That is the real backdrop to all of this. Governments are desperate because they cannot fund themselves honestly anymore. They will use war to justify capital controls. They will use war to justify surveillance. They will use war to justify anything. That is why the trend is becoming far more hostile globally. This is not about one man, one country, or one election. It is the cycle of government itself. Confidence rises and falls, and when confidence collapses, governments always reach for force.
If Trump is serious about a new peace structure, it will not be popular among the establishment because it threatens the entire war machine. And if Russia joining NATO is even discussed, it will expose the biggest lie of the last 30 years — that this was ever about defense rather than domination. They had the chance in the 1990s. They rejected real peace then, because peace did not serve their agenda.”
Europe APPEARS to be over-reacting to “threats” that Trump will have the U.S. Military invade Greenland. It’s all theater, but:
A major war in Europe will happen because Europe’s leaders have painted themselves into a corner leaving no other options. And Europe’s epic collapse, economically and militarily, will give a tremendous boost to Trump’s American revival. It will force Europeans to accept help on Donald Trump’s terms. He already pulled America out of the W.H.O., exits from NATO and the United Nations may also be in the cards, to be replaced with Trump’s Board of Peace and who knows how many other major changes.
War in Europe (FWIW, Nostradamus predicted a major war in Western and Southern Europe would be ending around late 2028), U.S. ownership of Greenland, a new post-petrodollar economic system, a friendly new government in Iran, a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, and many other major changes could be in place by June. Armstrong says the predictive algorithm he programmed “DOES NOT like what it sees into early February.” The stunning rise in gold and silver prices screams that the financial elites expect danger, very high inflation, and currency collapse. I am expecting an absolutely WILD six months ahead.
