Prepare for a War Economy?

[jwoodie]

I am concerned that an impending convergence of military and economic factors may lead us into a "wartime economy" by the end of this year. Militarily, escalations of the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel are lessening the prospects for negotiated peace and increasing the likelihood of direct involvement by the US. Economically, this would involve increased spending, inflation and disruptions in supply chains. In addition, there could be a concerted effort by oppositional countries to boycott US currency and borrowing.

In this event, what precautions would you recommend?

Precautions? Can you afford a bomb shelter?

The problem with war today, especially if it becomes a world war, is that all it takes it some heathen nutjob the press of a button to decimate millions.

We are a species that will remain on the endangered list until we finally reach that summit.

Our biggest threats in 2024 America...

1) American Government

Yes, but it could get a lot worse if we become directly involved in a shooting war.

All of the things you're worried about have been happening for 20+ years.

I think an all out nuclear war is very unlikely. I was wondering more about individual preparedness if our economic systems break down.

This is nothing new.

To help would be to find the Russian assets and ship them to their new home.
