First of all: thanks for taking our little exchange that serious. I appreciate that, despite having a different focus on some topics. Your point of view seems elaborated to me, but luckily there is enough space in this world for two different opinions at the same time. So I put mine just next to yours. Not more, not less. Maybe you misunderstood my intention in one point: I didn't want to say that women bear the heavier burden in war times, compared to male soldiers, being in service. I just reacted, the way I did, because I was talking about the burden of different generations before (including men and women). You seemed to react by telling, that it was never easy and illustrating that by men, fighting wars (starting from WW1). And I couldn't stop myself, from highlighting your more selective focus by saying, that I would still prefer not to underestimate the general burden women. Throughout history and in average, I wouldn't have prefered to be born as one. And yes: war hits hard. Men and women. Fighting personal (in the past almost only men, but not only) in average likely harder. But not every man living in war times was serving or fought at the front. Not every soldier fighting was forced to do so. Some made choices, for good or for bad, for duty or for heroism, for adventure seeking or for very personal motives. But when you speak about being nuked for example, let's not forget that the only targets of nukes so far, where civilian ones, hitting men, women and children equaly. Many women also had the chance to prove themselves beyond peace time gender roles during WW2. Many of them likely 'enjoyed' that perspective/temporary personal freedom. Others lost their fighting relatives and where left behind with the responsibility of keeping the kids alive. Would you have prefered to be Russian woman in encircled and horrible starving Leningrad in WW2? Or a German woman when the Red Army mass raped their way to Berlin? Or a Japanese woman seeing the flesh fall of her children after the nukes? Or a Korean woman of comfort being a sex slave for the Japanese army? But all of that was not my point. My point was that I still see men, in most ages, most countries and most situations, as different burdened than women and I personally prefer the male version of possibilities on average. And I guess, many women would agree. I also understand, that the US perspective on soldiers is a different one, than in some other places. Deriving from different historical experiences and different narratives. I also thanked soldiers for their service, but it is way less common here and some people wouldn't do it in general. The US military played a crucial role in the rise of the US to its modern status as a (yet) leading military and economical power. It kicked out the British, fought Natives, took a third of Mexican territory, fought the Phillipines and projected US dominance world wide in countless struggles. It lost it's battles and was not able to win all wars. So it also had to retreat, but it never was experiencing a crushing defeat like for example the axis powers did in WW2. Maybe the experience of the South in the Civil War comes closest to that, but that was, after the reunification, a regional experience and not a national one. Still for some a trauma with long shadows (KKK). And it would be possible to question, if also the US army was fighting for the wrong ideals in many wars. But again this was less a topic in the US, than in other nations who lost their hegemonial ambitions, because they were simply forced to do so. As nations and/or as individuals. My greatgrandfather fought in Verdun. One of the fiercest battle grounds of WW1. My grandfather fought in WW2 and the last two years of is life he was having nightmares every night, six decades after the war ended. So yes ... countless men experienced and commited harsh attrocities during war time. And not everybody coming home was celebrated as a victor. Many came back victorious, but still were traumatized or at least faced difficulties, to reintegrate in a peacetime society with different standards. Just to find words for the own emotions and people who cared, was a topic for veterans. High suicide rates are a part of the long shadow of wars. Am I thankful for the achievements of the US military in WW2 (next to the achievements of other allies that helped to free Western Europe)? Absolutely! Would I cheer for every other campaigns of the US military since 1776? No. Should I? And most countries have at least a mixed balance, regarding their military history, without claiming, that they were all the same. So I would be rather respect or maybe even admire single deeds of single soldiers and thank for the general willingness to protect others in case of need, despite risking life, health, psyche and moral integrity. But I wouldn't see men in general as more burdened because women fought less often at the front. The daily struggle of women goes deeper. It is present in all societies, at all times, even if it comes in a different local form. On average women are more pressed into drawers, they didn't ask for or they were less able to configure. Men are far from being free in their choices, but they were more often asked and had more chances to shape the conditions they were faceing. Men have all the right, to be not happy about their lifes or the world, even if this really is a man's world in large parts, as I claim it to be. But women still face burdens that I regard as being heavier, with less influence (for no reason) and less aknowledgement for their deeds. But that's just my perspective. You can have a different one, of course.Thanks for reading.

Hinder Taiwan? This would be an existential crisis for Taiwan. If China invades, Taiwan is over. At that point there is nothing to lose. MAD has worked as a strategy since WW2, and this is a form of asymmetrical MAD. Taiwan are holding their monopoly supply hostage so that it's not worth invading, that the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Quen-Tin

Well ... I don't see at least, that being a woman during the last millenias would have been a more desireable option, than being a man. Yes, my grandfather, fighting in WW2, was burdened in many ways. But he was also painting his idea of life onto a different canvas of historical context and expectations. We were brought up in the optimistic idea of being part of the winning team. Of inheriting problems, we could adress as an evolving society. Now it seems, like some parts of the game are difficult to win. Like we might have to arrange with getting less and not strive for getting more. Like the winners of yesterday have to struggle, not to loose in the next rounds. I think it is less about the factual hardships of life alone, but also about the psychological challenge, to walk into an unhealthy looking mist, while you were rather trained to settle a open field in bright weather. We have to reinvent ourselves and we might not achieve that in our lifetime, even if we try. Hitchcock once said, that there's no terror in the bang, but in the anticipation of it. I guess he was right.

You should retitle this to: “What stocks are you buying when WW3 starts?” Because if China invades Taiwan, WW3 has a 150% chance of starting. A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would affect the whole world and every single major market. Every stock except recession-defense stocks would be down. An invasion of Taiwan is a black swan event, not something that will only affect TSM and semiconductors stocks. It will have giant implications on every part of life.

Ok_Hedgehog_307

If/when China will try to invade Taiwan, stocks will be the least of everyone's problems. That's WW3 type of situation.

Dude, crypto is a scam but the people who initiated the scam are in control of your government and actively burning the dollar to ground to build out super computers and LEO communication satellites. As soon as the financial systems have been miked for everything they are worth they are going to light a match. Crypto is the hedge against the worst outcomes in WW3 or Civil War 2 or whatever happens. People need to start waking the fuck up man, everyone is investing in people who are posturing to not pay anything back and there's nothing anyone can do about it. People are investing in the companies building the surveillance systems that monitoring every single thing they do. No good will come of any of this so holding some crypto including a real one like XMR is really fucking smart thing to do.

A lot of countries don't actively participate in it. Are you trying to say that one should either fight the US and start WW3, or help Israel slaughter civilians, with nothing in between? Spain's government cut ties with Israel, Ireland, China... But you know all this. My only point isn't Israel, but you ask for batshit crazy, I give you a genocide whose ultimate goal is real estate for an ethno-state. And despite the financial aid they get from the EU, without the US Army, Israel would be gone within a month, and you know that too. Besides, I'm not running some leftie purity test. You're the one acting like the American left is some beacon of virtue, always morally consistent, fighting for the poor and oppressed minorities, and anything wrong with the American society is to blame on Republicans, as if the left never had the time and means to do what every other modern country has done to curb the homicide rate, mass shootings, or offer universal healthcare and free college education... I would direct you to [this quote](https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/13797450-behold-the-festering-carcass-of-american-rot-shoved-into-an), and particularly the part that starts with *"everything this country swears it isn't but always has been"*... So my initial point is why do you call them "fake" moderates? What do you think a real moderate is, as if Trump reaching power twice was either sheer luck, or two military coups. You should ask yourself why his rhetoric was succesfull, and why Americans saw no problem electing a convicted felon who stole from charities and bankrupted casinos, and can barely put together a sentence. Trust me when I tell you that someone like Trump wouldn't get more than 10% of votes in Canada, Norway, Spain or Finland.

Their mission is irrelevant when they become public and have to report to the board / stock market. That said, they want golden dome, starlink and all the military shit that comes with it, and to be the best lift system to space. What makes SpaceX big is their goal to be able to do \~150 launches a year (per pad!). Hell, they NEED close to that number of launches for Starlink maintenance (launch 10,000 Starlink satellites a year; roughly 100 per starship; because constellations goal is to have 40-50k total with a 5 year lifespan…) They have 10k up there now. Let’s say only 8000 service consumers. (Rest are dev or test etc). If everyone is saying their revenue is all Starlink and it’s about 11 billion in 2025, that means each Starlink satellite generates about \~1.4 million a year in revenue. (11b / 8000) That’s 56 billion revenue per year. Just assuming current Starlink revenue and with an unknown capacity understanding. Not including revenue from launches for other companies like government, or HPC satellites (aka AI inference satellites). Additionally, assume golden dome is legit… Because controlling who can get to space is about as important as who controlled the sea / air in WW2. Star Wars program is likely restarted and an important long term goal of the US MIC. why? Because having a weapon system that can shoot down any rocket that goes into space (say anything over 200km) doesn’t just mean you can eliminate ICBMS, but it ALSO means you can stop an adversary from intentionally trying to fuck with your space based network constellations and make sure it’s not polluted with rubble. If everything depends on that, protecting it is just as important.

No way people can take all their money with them, especially when China's currency was toast. USD and gold was the two most valuable ones, and no way you can carry enough gold either, and people wont have enough USD on them to really make a dent. Also the old taiwan dollar was replaced, so those who had money pretty much had their money become toast from the devalue of the old TWD (exchange of 1:40000) Even that link said Taiwan they siphoned gold from China, also they embezzled US money during WW2 like they did for Operation Matterhorn (in that wiki too) But following your train of logic, then it would be likely a high ranking military trusted of Chang Kai-Shek, or someone that knows him personally that rubbed their elbows after the war.

It's been going on a lot longer than the Ukraine war. During WW1, "The Royal Navy was not necessarily afraid to use its boats, but it was deeply terrified of losing its incredibly expensive, state-of-the-art *Dreadnought* battleships. Because these capital ships were national status symbols and crucial for maintaining the global blockade on Germany, both sides actively avoided risking them in direct confrontations. \[[1](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/2uj81c/why_didnt_germany_use_submarines_to_alleviate_the/), [2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ_9ZfU9Vv0&t=101), [3](https://www.reddit.com/r/history/comments/4iov8g/why_didnt_the_uk_launch_a_naval_invasion_of/), [4](https://www.johndclare.net/wwi8.htm)\] Britain's cautious naval strategy was shaped by several critical factors: * **The Fear of Submarines:** The Royal Navy initially underestimated the threat of German U-boats, which could sink massive, multi-million-pound cruisers without warning. Early in the war, the loss of several British warships to U-boats forced the Admiralty to restrict large fleet movements and shift main operations away from exposed southern bases to the more secure anchorage of Scapa Flow in northern Scotland. * **Mutual Deterrence at Jutland:** The only major clash between the British and German main fleets occurred at the Battle of Jutland in 1916. Though the British maintained control of the sea, the heavy losses suffered by their fleet confirmed the Admiralty's fears. Afterward, both sides became even more hesitant to engage their capital ships in open combat, resulting in a strategic stalemate."

Hilarious, what are any of these clown countries going to do? More ineffective air or missile strikes that would just see more counter drone strikes from Iran? The US is scared shitless to put boots on the ground cuz Muricans would get slaughtered so why would anyone think a bunch less inferior militaries would be more successful sending in their own people to get dusted? An more importantly, if all these gulf counties and the US try to gang up on Iran, that’s just gonna pull N Korea and possibly Russia into war. So GL with that and the beginning of WW3. Fact is none of these countries want Iran to sell their oil on the global market since that will cause oil prices to go down and eat into their profits. However there’s nothing they can do about it cuz their boy PDF-47 fucked them by starting a war on Israel behalf thinking the Iranians were gonna bitch out like the Venezuelans.

> If the US Navy wants to go in and take full control of the straits and start shelling all the coastal cities like WW2, they can do so Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha-- No. The USN **routed** from the Houthis after declaring that conflict was as difficult if not more than World War II. https://apnews.com/article/us-navy-yemen-houthis-israel-war-7a9997f9d84ac669fae69ecf819913fb >“This is the most sustained combat that the U.S. Navy has seen since World War II — easily, no question,” said Bryan Clark, a former Navy submariner and a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute. “We’re sort of on the verge of the Houthis being able to mount the kinds of attacks that the U.S. can’t stop every time, and then we will start to see substantial damage. Something that anyone paying attention to the US military's track record knew already and which the Iranians demonstrated to everyone in an utterly undeniable way is that the US military is **powerless.** We are not effective in any way, we literally have not won a single war since the turn of the century and we've practically lost almost every war since World War II. The US has among the weakest and ineffective military force today and that only comes as a surprise if your impression of the military entirely stemmed from Hollywood films and documentaries painting the US as the superhero of humanity. Anyone who expects Pax Americana to continue or even survive, predicated on the US military securing and forcing western trade, is in for a rude surprise.

Fake_Citizen

Iran did not and never controlled the straits. They can only threaten shipping whom are defenseless. They can no longer threaten any conventional navy. Their navy is reduced to speedboats. If the US Navy wants to go in and take full control of the straits and start shelling all the coastal cities like WW2, they can do so and there's nothing Iran can do. Also, they are blockading all Iranian ships at Oman. Drones/missiles? Wanna get bombed again?

I am fully aware of all my stocks and have researched them extensively. If I just looked at PE multiple I would have missed massive gains. But also please note when I said I am only accumulating VST, CEG, FNV, WPM, and RGLD right now. The rest I accumulated over the last year. Their current multiples is one of the reasons. On the gold question, the short answer is financial repression keeps interest rates below inflation, causing a negative real rate of return. This debases the currency and gold goes parabolic relative to that currency. The last time the US implemented financial repression was post WW2 and gold went 1700% relative to the dollar. For the long answer, ask your favorite AI.

milkplantation

Correct. The British pound sterling was largely the reserve currency for over 100 years before WW2. Britain did not foresee losing its financial dominance until it was already happening, and the shift was a protracted, painful 60 year process. Britain suffered from immense institutional inertia and the illusion of permanence. Does that sound familiar?

In addition to what has been said below, I'll add my personal experience here. I've been on a GLP-1 since November for weight loss. It costs me over $400 a month, since insurance doesn't cover it. As soon as I started paying this kind of price, I'm not going to turn around and instantly destroy any benefit by continuing to eat terribly and not working out. I'm going to do everything I can to reach my goal weight, keep it off, and gradually stop using the medicine. In order to do that, I have had to completely rework my view on my relationship with food and exercise. If I'm going to pay $400 a month for medicine, you bet I'm going to add $20/month for a Planet Fitness membership to maintain it and not feel like I'm throwing that money every month into the fire. I also set up a Factor meal delivery so that I am certain I'm properly watching my food intake and macronutrients. They are not mutually exclusive, and I applaud Planet Fitness realizing that everything helps and that their embrace of GLP-1s is going to keep customers long term. I feel this was what WW was trying to do, it just backfired given some of their previous stances on it and the fact that they didn't address the exercise portion very well.

WW actually moved into the GLP-1 space themselves through their clinical business. And long-term weight results usually still depend on behavior and lifestyle changes, not just the medication alone ;)

Still holding 100% WW. Nothing changed for me overnight.

Bears we were too cocky, my account is about to experience the first nuke of WW3

Interesting how every dip in WW keeps getting bought so far

This crash will be bigger than WW1, 2 and 3 combined

I went all in on WW because I think the market is too negative. Turnarounds always look ugly before they look obvious 😊

UK was once greatest nation in the world. Conquering and colonising. Always pushing the frontier. After WW2 in constant decline and now becoming some dystopian place.

“The market” doesn’t understand how to price current events so it is pretending for the time being that things will return to a familiar baseline because the alternative is a complete meltdown. The reality is that the arrangement of international trade as it has existed since WW2 has been shattered, and not just by Hormuz. Until now, the “if I hide under the blanket the monster won’t see me” act that the “market” has taken in response to tariffs and the gutting of regulatory structures that maintain the shape of the most influential entity in modern civilization has kind of worked. But now we’re living in that “gentlemen, I don’t hear a sound” moment. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that everyone above a certain level of influence/power/wealth fully realizes this and is coordinating their exit strategy and the plebs are the ones pretending. Whatever the case, reality is reality and we’re going to see within the next year or two if “the market,” i.e. the top 10% of global wealth holders truly can (or at least will really try to) function independently from the bottom 90%. That’s the real discussion to be had

The middle east had an emerging middle class post WW1 that was very westernized and put a premium on how they dressed and presented themselves. If you look at pictures of university students across the middle east between the 30s and 60s, you'll see most young people very nicely dressed. While Saddam came from a very poor background, he desperately wanted to join this middle class and dressed well as soon as he could afford it. When he came to power, he had suits tailored in Paris by very well known designers and suit tailors. He obsessed about how he appeared in public until the very end.

I think we all don't fully appreciate how much stock market behaviour has changed with the democratization of investing. It's still a fairly new technological change, as self-directed online trading only became easy and affordable around the late 00s. Buffet's analysis examines markets largely since the post-WW2 era. But to appreciate just how much online trading has changed retail investing and the markets at large, we really can't compare anything prior to 2010 to today. I'm not saying that long-extended bears can't happen anymore, but I'm saying the underlying behavioural psychology driving markets has changed: every participant now has access to low-cost trades at the click of a button in their pocket, and every participant has unlimited access to information via the internet. This is not some small, trivial change. We fundamentally need a new behavioural-finance paradigm to explain stock markets in an internet/social-media age.

WW is already focused on GLP-1 users now. Clinical members grew 46% year over year and 51% vs last quarter. Company says Clinical could become 25-30% of revenue this year. They are not fighting Ozempic, they are building around it.
