Abolish the EU while they still have a chance!
That’s OK...war will pull us out of the recession by spending on military-industrial goods!

Too bad the U.S. blew up their pipeline.
Nothing to see here...
Too bad the U.S. blew up their pipeline.
—————.
….and the Ukies just blew up the pipeline supplying the EU countries of Hungary and Slovakia….I will laugh when Hungary stops supplying the EU with electricity….the break up of the EU, such a shame…..their war on Russia has many consequences, fools.

“…. The diplomatic tensions came days after Ukrainian drone strikes targeted the Nikolskoye pumping station in Russia’s Tambov Oblast on Aug. 18. The attack temporarily disrupted operations on the Druzhba pipeline, halting crude oil deliveries to Hungary and Slovakia……”
Make your #1 industry compete with Chinese EV’s and have an energy policy based on “renewables”, who could’ve guessed?
Many leaders have turned to war to generate a distraction toward an external enemy when their own economic failures put them at risk.
“THEIR war on Russia has many consequences, fools.”
Who invaded who?
(my imitation of FR Karens)
Government spending to cure a recession is like using gasoline to put out a fire..................
Rule number 1: When going to war ( especially with Russia) make double sure you hold all the cards.
I find it very amusing the EU tries to “ weaken Russia”, overthrow Vlad, etc,….and the EU themselves collapse. A good warning to the war cheerleaders and Neo- Cons.
That said, when the EU goes under, it will affect the US. Our financial system is heavily interconnected with the EU, many EU members buy our Treasury debt, bonds, Bills and notes and a whopping 30-35 percent ( estimated) of the US stock market is foreign money.
History
Learn from it.
Or...die.
When you engineer the highest energy prices on the continent, this is to be expected. Germany has a new term for economic suicide: ‘Energiewende.’
Armstrong is not only a convicted swindler but also a liar/idiot. The economies of Germany and the whole EU have stagnated not since Feb 2022 but for almost 2 decades due to policies that allowed its labor markets, energy costs, trade policy, and capital markets to go awry.
The Europoors Are Choosing To Have Less Than Americans. It Doesn't Have To Be This Way.
It's no coincidence why Europeans don't have air conditioning, clothes dryers, or ice.
For roughly two decades, Western Europe, home to the continent's largest economies, has stagnated. In 1995, its labor productivity—the value of goods and services produced per hour worked—was 95 percent of what it was in the United States, having risen from just 22 percent in 1945. By 2023, it was down to 80 percent. Ten years ago, 52 of the world's top 100 companies by market capitalization were American and 28 were European. Since then, the American total has grown to 58 while the European count has fallen to 18. The United States has produced five companies worth more than $2 trillion. At around $350 billion, Europe's largest company, the enterprise software provider SAP, is worth about as much as Home Depot.

Not to worry. The jihadists will lift you up. Germanistan will be Great Again.
Germany was having trouble, what a sad sad story....
We appear to be getting close

The “ numbers” show Japan is “ favored “ or forecast to be the next country to have a sovereign debt default ( collapse)…..next up, the EU, with a Germany debt crisis tipping the scales for the other bankrupt EU members ( debt exceeding 100 percent of GDP).
Interesting to note, Ukraine is “ the drowning man”, anyone attempting to save a drowning man is pulled under by him….which we are witnessing with Ukraine.
You can bash Armstrong all you wish, but you can’t take away from his legendary Socrates super computer. Many wealth funds, including sovereign wealth funds and governments have seeked his advice for years.
He has even been called to Congress numerous times to “ fix” financial markets. I suspect you have a rub with him as his Socrates forecasts Ukraine “ flatlining”, in other words ceasing to exist in its present form…..OR you are a Bitcoiner, his Socrates computer for Bitcoin ( and E monies) isn’t favorable.
Ukie war cheerleaders and Bitcoiners absolutely hate him for his Socrates forecasts specifically on those two topics. I have done very, very well taking note of his Socrates ECM forecasts.
I run the ArmstrongEconomics scam site.
The worth of my advice can be measured by my three bankruptcies and losing over $700,000,000 of my clients' funds in bad trades.
That failed ponzi scheme got me eleven years in the federal pen.
