i've got a pet theory i'm not sure it's right but it's interesting in that it explains trump and his horrible decision to go to war. it also explains why so many refineries are blowing up all around the world.
the precipitating event is the national debt. there is no way to pay back $40 trillion. think of it this way: if you and i have an economy between us and you lend me the first dollar into existence and i have to pay you back that dollar plus 5% interest, then where am i going to get the $0.05? i would have to borrow another dollar. ad infinitum.
America is like that except we owe $40 T.
so we have to print our way out. that presents two big problems. the first is easy to understand: printing creates run away inflation, which is bad but still better than hyper inflation. the second problem is trickier. how (or more precisely: why) do we print all that extra money we need? because dollars are borrowed into existence and the only entity capable of borrowing the amounts we need to keep the currency afloat is the federal government: except what do you spend trillions on? it actually becomes difficult to spend that much. an aircraft carrier is only $11-$12 billion each. we try to inflate healthcare each year but it only goes so far.
enter trump. trump said to the bankers: i got you.
and he started a war with iran. crazy? yes. self-defeating? yes. illegal? yes. and he still did it.
(btw no one cares that he was raping katie johnson on video: they were all raping kids on video. the videos are worthless. they all have videos of themselves)
the reason trump is pushing for ww3 along with zelenskyy, putin, and every european leader is because they all have central banks and they all have unpayable debt. and a world war is the only hope each of them have to achieve two things: to stay in power and come up with a reason to print print print.
imagine the gov hired two men: one to dig a hole and one to fill it in. that's a boost to the employment rate and to gdp. but it's slow. what is fast is spending $20 million on a cruise missle that blows up in the desert. now do that 300 times on a wednesday and you're spending real money.
so that's why trump is doing what he is doing: he is saving the central banks of the world by starting ww3, and while we are so distracted by our sons dying, the money gets borrowed and spent and the currency collapse (hyperinflation) is "controlled" while the debt is inflated away.
so what about the refineries? well, turns out actual humans don't like war and no one wants to go to war. so they have to destroy the refineries and with no oil they will starve us and get us desperate and then tell us it's the jews/muslims/russians/al qaeda/the french... whoever, doesn't matter; it's THeM over there that caused your kids to starve. get em!
