Is World War III under Trump more likely? Perhaps

 

“I think the threat of WW3 has grown but not because Trump wants it, quite the reverse,” he told the Mirror. “The threat of a European and world war has increased, paradoxically, because he absolutely does not want war and because of his strategies for avoiding war.

“But he does not seek conflict. He wants to avoid it. The problem is that history teaches us that you do not avoid wars by not wanting them, indeed the reverse is true. As Reagan’s presidency shows, you make peace by being tough with your enemies and turning them into adversaries at worst and friends at best.”

‘Car crash President’ Donald Trump’s election win ‘just made World War Three much more likely’

Note to reader: The geopolitical analyst interviewed in the article below has an interesting take on the increased likelihood of a World War III scenario under a Trump regime. Unfortunately, I don’t necessarily disagree with the logic either. If time is of the essence for our upcoming enemies, a Trump presidency could catch the United States flat-footed against its opposition and at the worst time.

As a result, I have reinserted the force majeure countdown clock on this blog’s front page. I will also leave the Target date of July 1, 2027 unchanged for now.

‘Car crash President’ Donald Trump’s election win ‘just made World War Three much more likely’

Donald Trump’s sweeping victory yesterday has brought the likelihood of World War Three closer – but not for the reasons you might think, an expert has said.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/car-crash-president-donald-trumps-34059562.amp

The celebrity president declared victory after securing the 270 votes he needed to wrestle the White House from the Democrats after seizing key battleground states like Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia. In the hours since, the world has been left reeling and wondering how his presidency could create seismic shifts in the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.

The fear is that Trump’s bolshy and populist rhetoric could lead to a breakdown in international relations and a foreign affairs crisis. But defence and security expert Professor Anthony Glees said it’s actually Trump’s hesitancy around conflict that could cause the real crisis.

“I think the threat of WW3 has grown but not because Trump wants it, quite the reverse,” he told the Mirror. “The threat of a European and world war has increased, paradoxically, because he absolutely does not want war and because of his strategies for avoiding war.

“But he does not seek conflict. He wants to avoid it. The problem is that history teaches us that you do not avoid wars by not wanting them, indeed the reverse is true. As Reagan’s presidency shows, you make peace by being tough with your enemies and turning them into adversaries at worst and friends at best.”

Many fear Ukraine is where Trump’s presidency could have the worst repercussions

The US’s main adversaries and enemies – Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – must not see Trump as “weak or disinterested” as it will “encourage” them rather than put them off the lust for war, Prof Glees said.

He added: “They believe that if they don’t threaten the USA, then the USA will not care what they do to those they regard as their own enemies. And that’s us.

“So I think we are all right to be apprehensive about Trump after his massive and stunning victory, even as we should believe he is not out for war but could end up getting one. He’s now a fact of life and we must learn to live with him. But doing so will stretch us in the UK and Europe to the our limits and probably beyond them, and we will find ourselves forced by our weakness to witness many things that will horrify us.”

Kim Jong-un may also feel emboldened by Trump in the White House
With Trump behind the world’s most powerful nuclear arsenal, many fear the volatile leader could trigger a nuclear emergency but Prof Glees believes it’s more likely we’ll see “years of conventional warfare, especially if Putin wins in Ukraine”.”

And over time, not least because of what Iran is doing to help Russia and what Russia will do to help Iran, a wider conflict in the Middle East could be postponed by Trump’s policies towards Israel but it is likely to end in a much larger explosion by the end of his second presidency,” he added.

  1. This was an email I received from my accountants. Evidently, according to this email, I don’t have to file this report, since I don’t own personal property in my LLCs. It’s all real property and I don’t have to file annual reports with the state….

    Corporate Transparency Act – Beneficial Owner Information Report

    This is a courtesy notification to inform you of a potential obligation to meet the filing requirements of the U.S. Department of Treasury, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, Beneficial Owner Information Report.

    Congress passed the Corporate Transparency Act in 2021 to combat illicit activity including tax fraud, money laundering, and financing for terrorism by capturing more ownership information for specific U.S. businesses operating in or accessing the country’s market. Under the new legislation, businesses that meet certain criteria must submit a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Report to the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This report provides details identifying individuals who are associated with the reporting company.

    For LLCs and other business entities who file with a state corporation (or equivalent) formed prior to January 1, 2024, the Beneficial Owners Report is required to be filed before December 31, 2024. For entities formed during 2024, the report is due within 90 days of formation. Beginning in 2025, newly formed entities will have 30 days to file the report. Civil penalties for failure to file the report may be as much as $591 per day the report is late.

    No Beneficial Owners filing is required for entities that do not file annual reports with the state corporation commission.

    A Beneficial Owners Report filing can be made directly with FinCEN at https://www.fincen.gov/boi.

    If you would prefer to engage our assistance with your Beneficial Owners Report filing for any qualifying entities, please contact us immediately. Our fee for completing this report is $695 per filing. We will provide you with an engagement letter outlining the pricing and terms for our services upon request.

  2. The Soviets (Russia, China, NK, and Iran) will most certainly feel emboldened with Trump in the White House because they know he is one of them.

  3. Let’s forget China….

    Seems like firearms prices have not gone up as much at my local firearms store. Keep sticking I suppose.

    1. Indeed. A lot of the voters have been duped, especially the Jones supporters. None of this comes as a shock to us readers. There’s a reason why he was reselected.

      As of right now, I’d rather have him in if only for the fact I own the income generating assets. At least I am more certain that I won’t be taxed into oblivion. Unrealized cap gain taxes, ad valorem taxes, reparations and wealth redistribution via IRC changes, national rent control regulations based on properties with government backed mortgages, etc, are put on hold at least for 4 years. Up until 2 weeks ago, Harris was promising discussions on slave reparations.

      I think about how much a $25,000 home buyer credit would cost the taxpayers. I know of a lot of potential home buyers who are putting off potential purchases and waiting to see if Harris got into office. I think about how Harris would forgive hundreds of billions of dollars in student loans through the back door gratis the taxpayer. All of this stuff is highly inflationary as these subsidies go directly to domestic consumers. I didn’t see these types of demand driven ideas from the Trump side, though many of his programs would indirectly cause inflation as well.

      Perhaps the dialectic process allowed it to get to such a pressure point that a Trump victory would be seen as a release valve. I also doubt very much that we’d get any mandatory vaccination schedule while Trump is in office.

      The asset markets have responded accordingly, and the FED will do what it does best, regardless of who occupies the White House.

      Both sides are evil, yet I don’t think voting for one or the other is a litmus test on whether we’re wicked as well. Voting for Trump was not a litmus test on whether we are evil and going to hell. Trump is as wicked as they come and he’s only a liberal in conservative clothing.

      This blog enumerated and great detail for years about how this kayfabe wrestler was friends with all the liberals in New York City, including Bloomberg. Of course, I’m going back to the ’80s and ’90s.

      The pendulum was allowed to swing too far and now the Republicans are taking control of everything. They will have their opportunity to screw everything up in the libtards will get their day once again in the midterms.

      1. “I also doubt very much that we’d get any mandatory vaccination schedule while Trump is in office.”

        You better believe you’ll get a mandatory vaccine schedule with the “Father of the Vaccine”,
        and it will be enforced with lethality, thanks to DOD Directive 5240.01, proof that Dems/GOP work as one…

    2. Great article. This makes us keep in mind that Trump is not a people loving Saint. Kamel and Trump have their faults but Trump is the lesser of the two evils. I think Trump would not force the vaccines on us like Kamel would. Trump is definitely not a social conservative. Like all politicians, he talks a game to get elected.

    Russia economy in freefall as mortgage repayments surge to $1M as locals fume at Kremlin

    Mortgages in Russia are skyrocketing
    Russian home buyers could potentially face loan repayments amounting to hundreds of thousands of pounds, as mortgage rates in some Russian banks have skyrocketed to a staggering 43%.

    The Russian Central Bank recently raised interest rates to a record high of 21% due to ongoing inflation.

    In response, mainstream banks have increased interest payments on mortgages and loans to adapt to the new economic conditions.

    Several banks have now set their maximum mortgage rate above 30 percent, a move that is expected to severely impact Russia’s property market.

    Sovcombank is currently offering mortgages with a top interest rate of 43%, while VTB is providing loans at 37.1% and Sberbank at 31.3%.

    Sovcombank is currently offering mortgages with a top interest rate of 43%
    As per the Russian publication RBK, a 20-year mortgage at 43% on an apartment valued at $123,938 would result in repayments totalling a staggering $976,803.

    The average cost per square meter for a flat outside Moscow is $2301.64, which means a buyer could purchase a 53 square metre apartment for $123,938.

    A generous government mortgage subsidy introduced in 2020 and extended after Western sanctions were imposed following Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has aided Russian homebuyers.

    Under this scheme, mortgage rates were capped at 8%, fuelling a boom in the property market.

    However, the surge in house sales resulted in a spike in inflation, which hit 9.1% in July.

    The government’s decision to end subsidies has already caused a significant disruption in the housing market.

    Rental prices are skyrocketing, creating a “perfect storm” for housing affordability. However, housing subsidies for families with more than three children remain available.

    This initiative is aimed at encouraging families to have more children as the Kremlin continues to struggle with a demographic crisis.

    The increase in interest rates has sparked a fierce political backlash, with a prominent Russian MP calling for the removal of the head of the Central Bank and close Putin ally.

    Sergei Mironov, the leader of the party “A Just Russia – For Truth”, demanded the resignation of Elvira Nabiullina.

  6. I received an email earlier from a reader who forwarded me an article that seems similar to the one I just posted. The only problem with the writer of this particular article is that he wanders down the Marxist path of women’s rights and misogyny and claims that Trump is a misogynist and such. He should have just left it as an article discussing the problems Europe faces with a looming Trump presidency.

    Good morning,

    He is an article from Le Monde, similar to the one you posted earlier.

    en/opinion/article/2024/11/06/the-end-of-an-american-world_6731783_23.html#

    They see a major shift in American foreign policy.

  7. Powell says he was surprised by the recent strength in inflation data. I guess he doesn’t shop for his own groceries anymore or has a paid off home.

      1. The sad part is that he and the others in the voting committee rely on public economic data releases like the rabble.

        Ha? No wonder they make “poor” decisions.

  8. I never doubted the Ezekiel prophesy or its relevance at this time. I took note back in April Janet Yellens visit to China and in particular the gift exchange.

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-07/yellen-advances-us-china-ties-despite-tough-criticism-on-exports?embedded-checkout=true

    The article is behind a paywall which most of us have a workaround for. Most significant exerpt:

    “Exemplifying Yellen’s delicate diplomatic task, she balanced such rebukes with bonhomie including a boat cruise on the Pearl River in the southern city of Guangzhou with Vice Premier He Lifeng on Friday. During that excursion the pair exchanged gifts, according to two people present. The vice premier presented Yellen with a large platter upon which a Chinese artist had replicated her official portrait. Yellen reciprocated with an artist-signed painting of the Washington Monument.”

    The Vice premier is not a King, that’s a prince. Chief Prince. He served her head on a platter, she passed him the obelisk. I took it as a shot across the bow 9 months before inauguration day which was probably indicating the end of her tenure – no matter who won the election. I agree with Stone that the FED will probably be stepping in as buyer of last resort, I would add most likely after Yellen has left the scene.

    1. Wow! You sound like a conspiracy nut. 😀

      That actually takes a lot of thought. Having her head on a platter, although that’s funny, I can’t think of any other way to look at it. Plus, the Washington monument. A big phallic that George Washington would be absolutely livid to be part of.

  9. Agreed! I believe the clock is fixed, and with Mr.T America first position, it could embolden our enemies. If nothing else, he may be tested in a way he or we don’t see coming! I know many are breathing a sigh of relief and no doubt he will do many things to stop the woke, progressive agenda, but I remain cautious to say the least.
