The Most Important Forecast Martin Armstrong Has Ever Made

In this shocking interview, Martin Armstrong delivers what may be the most important forecast of his career: Ukraine will disappear.

This isn’t a guess. It’s based on decades of data from the Socrates AI forecasting system — and it’s never issued a warning like this before. We also cover: --Why Ukraine is finished, no matter what the West says --Why Europe needs war to stay afloat --How the next economic collapse will ripple from the periphery inward --And what you can do to prepare before the clock runs out

Armstrong’s model has never been wrong about direction — and now it’s pointing to something irreversible.

Kazan: "Before we waste anymore money on Ukraine, I pray that it does disappear."

delta7: "Ukraine is a 100 percent welfare state.
No means of support except for welfare.
Thatcher said it perfectly, everything goes well until they run out of other people’s money….this fact alone seals their fate."

Ukrainians now spend around 40% of their GDP on national defense -- the same as the US spent during WWII, but less than either Britain, Germany or Russia spent.

In round numbers, roughly 1/3 of Ukraine's defense costs are covered by Ukrainians themselves, 1/3 by US aid and 1/3 by aid from all other Western countries.
Those ratios change over time and today US aid is less while European aid has increased.
It's not clear what, if any, US aid has been delivered to Ukraine in 2025.

As for which country is likely to disappear first -- right now Russian forces control about 17% of Ukraine's 233,065 square mile total, and threatens another 2% (19% total), but have made no significant progress since March, 2022.
The cost in total casualties is approaching 1 million Russians and 400,000 Ukrainians, though Russian deaths are thought to outnumber Ukrainians killed by over 3 to 1.

Ukrainians have no choice except to keep fighting so long as Russians occupy their lands.
American aid to Ukraine may well dry up, but as it does, the Euros have stepped up and will earn a larger voice in whatever final peace settlement is agreed to.

The last time Russians suffered a major military defeat was Afghanistan (1979-1989) and one result was the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is orders of magnitude more costly in men & equipment and so we might well expect Russia's defeat in Ukraine to produce a similar political outcome.

Worth remembering that, in Afghanistan, Russians only admitted defeat after the generation of leaders who launched that war had passed away and been replaced by new leadership.

Ukrainians now spend around 40% of their GDP on national defense -- the same as the US spent during WWII, but less than either Britain, Germany or Russia spent.

What stupid a claim.

Every penny Ukraine is spending, not only on the war but on EVERYTHING, IS COMING FROM US or Europe.

We have wasted $200 billion on Ukraine and billions has gone into the pockets of Zelensky, his cronies and Ukraine oligarchs.

Ukrainians now spend around 40% of their GDP on national defense -- the same as the US spent during WWII, but less than either Britain, Germany or Russia spent.

So, just to be clear, you disagree with President when he said this to Brett Baier on Friday:

“The money is the money,” the president said. “What bothered me — I hated to see the way it was, you know, excuse me, pissed away.”

“I hated to see that checks were sent for $60 billion every time Zelensky [traveled to Washington],” he fumed.

“I think he’s the greatest salesman in the world. Far better than me,” Trump said of the Ukrainian president.

“Where is all this money going?” he added.

The last time Russians suffered a major military defeat was Afghanistan (1979-1989) and one result was the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991.

That will remain the last time since there is no chance in hell Russia is giving up an inch of Ukraine it controls.

And, Russia is making demands for every inch of the annexed territory it has annexed BECAUSE IT IS IN A POSITION TO STRENGTH TO DO SO.

Any fantasies you have about Russia losing the war are delusional and based on propaganda.

Ukraine can only lose more lives and territory by continuing the war.
