Soros sees risk of another world war
Market Watch ^ | 05/19/15

Posted on 05/21/2015 8:16:57 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Billionaire investor George Soros said flatly that he’s concerned about the possibility of another world war

“If there is conflict between China and a military ally of the United States, like Japan, then it is not an exaggeration to say that we are on the threshold of a third world war,” Soros said.

Military spending is on the rise in Russia and China, he said.

To avoid this scenario, Soros called on the U.S. to make a “major concession” and allow China’s currency to join the International Monetary Fund’s basket of currencies. This would make the yuan a potential rival to the dollar as a global reserve currency.

In return, China would have to make similar major concessions to reform its economy, such as accepting the rule of law, Soros said.

Hell, he’s drooling for another World War. He’s hoping maybe he can collect more wristwatches off of his condemned Jewish neighbors — that he helped round up — like he did last time.

He can once again help load up the cattle cars. But, there’s always the Koch brothers.

What Soros means is he sees a way to increasing his wealth and power at the expense of others. He would welcome a world war, he never gave a damn about the lives of others. I fear it may be a long time before this one dies, Satan is afraid of the competition.

What Soros and his ilk on the left refuse to acknowledge is that we are already in WWIII with certain parts of Islam.

Right, and who’s going to enforce China’s multiple concessions? US makes her concessions, and we all depend on China’s ‘good will’?

Soros is not the chief negotiator of the Iran deal, is he? The terms seem similar.

Yep, that's the ticket. China would gladly abandon all of its territorial claims if only the yuan was allowed to join the IMF's currency basket.

Because that's China's strategic, long-term goal...to get the yuan into the IMF's currency basket.

I'd be willing to bet that Soros dies of old age long before the next world war.

Currently, he's 84 and will be 85 in August.

No One lives forever.
