There's a rumor that Putin poisoned him during their 1-on-1 meeting and has now told him he has the only antidote and to get it he must start WW3. Anyway, calls.

african_cheetah

WW1 and WW2 only really happened due to primitive weaponry. Yeah WW2 had much better tech but by the time fission bomb was dropped, war was already over. Now we have bombs 1000x powerful than fat man. We have missiles that can reach anywhere on the planet, fired from submarines that are lurking in the depths of the ocean. A single missile head carrying 12+ warheads. A war between nuclear nation would be over in an hour. There are no winners. There is no viable defense against 100s of supersonic ICBMs fired from random direction, that then split into smaller warheads and independently target different locations. Basically game over modern humanity.

Now I don't disagree with you about clicks and WW3. But I bet people thought the same about people discussing the idea of WW2 as being hyperbolic at the time. But that said, I still agree with your statement.

I'm still pretty full from WW2 so ill pass.

I will bet my entire retirement fund that the EU will not being going to war with Russia over Ukraine. Daily star is looking for clicks and anyone suggesting WW3 is coming to Europe is just being hyperbolic.

ThemanfromNumenor

That’s not what people are talking about here. If the dollar truly collapses- as in post-WW1 Germany- it means that the dollar has become worthless. And nothing comparable has ever happened to a currency like the Dollar. This is apocalyptic shit we are talking about.

tech01x

Why make such assumptions when you have no idea? I would love for the Epstein stuff to all come out. As for AFD, according to Musk, it was about immigration. Now, I don’t agree with Musk’s stance of the U.S. southern border, but there are very real immigration issues in the U.S. and in Europe. But that doesn’t mean it is Nazi-like. I find the progressives support for Palestine much more Nazi-like, because, well, they were the actual Nazi allies in WW2, with the same goals.

My Ski Trip with Alexander Karp When PLTR was $11 I bought a shit ton of shares. I eventually got a letter in the mail handwritten by Karp. He wanted to thank me for being such a prolific believer in the company, and offered to take me out to Aspen to ski with him. The whole ski lift ride he's telling me about WW3, and how Palantir is going to be the only company to come out of the ashes. He went on about data, and it's role in organizing societies once we all revert to using precious metals again. I didn't hit the lift exit right, and he chucked a gold bar at me and called me regarded. Said I'd need it to pay for ski lessons or else the feral dogs would get me in the apocalypse. Like any good bagholder I shook off the warnings signs and just kept on going. I expressed my disbelief about the whole thing, and he got really offended. Said now that Palantir is profitable he didn't need people like me, or my negativity. The stock had just hit $10, and I could tell he was on one. When I tried to bring up SBC, he challenged me to an 80s ski off. Dude did a double back flip off a jump and ended up winning. Last time I saw Karp he was helping my wife on the bunny slope, and I haven't seen her since. That was last week, and I still haven't heard from her. I'll occasionally get emails from Karp about how now that China has balloons Palantir is more needed then ever. He invited me over to Peter Thiel's house for a LOTR marathon, but I'm gonna sit that one out. I haven't taken him up on the ski lessons suggestion. I think I'll just take this gold bar and put the money in an index fund.

Looking at the stock market every day is like comparing day-to-day weather. There is a lot of volatility. It might be sunny one day, then a thunderstorm, then cloudy, then sunny again, then windy, then overcast. The better way to look at the stock market is like looking at the climate. The climate is just a long-term average of what the day to day weather is. When you average out the sunny days with the cloudy days with the rainy days with the cold days with the hot days, over years and years, you get long-term trends. Such as on average, the climate for a given location might stay between 7F in the winter and 98F in the summer, and it averages 42.3 inches of rain and 27 inches of snow, and on average over the course of a year there are 2637 hours of sunshine. This doesn't guarantee that every year will get that. One year could be a drought, the next year could be extra rainy. But over the long-term, the if you keep averaging out the weather, it should closely match the climate. The same thing happens for stocks. Every day there is minor news or updates in the world. The stock price mostly just reflects what people currently think what a company is worth, and it fluctuates on news. New tariffs might be bad. Tariffs are blocked by a judge are good. New law goes into effect that makes XYZ illegal, might be mixed. Massive new deposit of lithium ore discovered, stock prices react. Every bit of news has a tiny effect on stock prices. And the ETF's like VOO, VTI etc are just weighted averages of all of the companies. This day to day movement in stock prices is like the weather. Sunny, then rainy, then overcast, then sunny again. The only way you can look at stocks is over the long term, by using a climate-like view. And historically, the "climate" of stocks is that the S&P 500 has averaged a return of over 10% per year since 1957. On average, there were more sunny days than stormy days. There were sunnier years, and there were stormier years, but on average, the historical climate of the stock market has been about +10% a year. So on average, you'll double your money about every decade with DRIP (dividends reinvested). Now past results are no indication of future results. Especially if there is a US President that is quite bent on radically changing the dynamics of the post WW2 world, and basically rewriting all of the rules around a new centrally planned economy. Those new rules might be way worse than before. There might be other black swan events. There is no way to predict the future. So past results do not predict the future. So do not invest money that you need to keep food on your table today. But otherwise, invest what you feel comfortable with on a regular cadence. You are in ETF's already, so those are already less risky than individual stocks for individual companies. If you don't need that money today or tomorrow, do not look at the portfolio. We are in a stormier and more volatile period of history right now, so daily results will be volatile. Just keep investing what you feel comfortable with when you can (ideally on a regular cadence), and carry on with your life. Future you in 10, 20, 30+ years will thank present you.

Absolute worst of the worst stocks by Oxford Club and Alex Green. I told myself in 2019 if I FOLLOWED THIS ADVICE and it failed (American Wealth Project), I would vote Democrat. They said 10 bagger. It was a ((10)) bagger. Stupid company, lying CEO, poorly invested capital now selling AutoChip line off $2B. 5G a complete fiction. They said Marvell was a baby AVGO. No, AVGO left Marvell in the dust. It just reported today 8/28/25 for a miss, stock selling off to $65 about where we bought in 2019. A garbage stock, like the poorest of the worst. Foxconn stock, the same story. Avoid these liars who prey on WW2 vetrans for their nest egg. Green said Etgereum was a complete gamble worthless, now look. I made $33k in less than 7 months.  Avoid Oxford. I’m was completely right leaning, not now.

Fuck this clown and all the other fascists pulling the strings. Humanity should’ve been done with this bullshit after WW2 but we got comfortable and let bad people stay in charge which led to more suffering. Now we’re heading for certain collapse in this country and will be the first empire to ever crumble with technology powerful enough to wipe the world out 10x over. These will be trying times and our species will once again call on the brave for their sacrifice. I wish I could be confident in a brighter day for humanity, but at the moment I only see a plunge to darkness that will take our species to the brink. Fight for the good that’s left then maybe one day, out of the ashes, a new dawn will rise for a society deserving redemption. ✌️

Yes true, but they weren't running world war level deficits in 1999. Just imagine. WW2. Planes, tanks, rations, locked in a global struggle of life and death survival with the most powerful states on earth. Fucking wartime. Ripping wads of bills off the roller. Now it's today. Same fucking deficit. 

New-Association5536

You have much rosier worldviews than I do. You're assuming allot of positive future markers, and you could be correct. You're assuming because no one wants economic collapse it can't happen. I am 40, lived through the great 2008 crash, and trust me, no one expected or wanted it (Well a few drowned out voices were warning of it, and anyone who could see how the financing products were working could of easily foretold the end conclusion, but the investors making bucket loads of easy money didn't care or want to consider it for a moment). Economic collapses are always a result of ridiculous optimism ignoring and even actively papering over clear economic negatives that are growing ever larger, until they can't be stopped or ignored anymore. As of now, we are in there with an admin actively sacking anyone and everyone who proposes anything negative and don't bend the knee to their every demand. The job market is deteriorating; Companies are using AI as a reason to shed tens of thousands of workers; Social safety nets historical used to create a bottom floor for economic downfalls are being shredded; Inflation is not going to go down, even if tariffs are removed tomorrow; The fed, the cornerstone of our stable economic world system, is actively being turned into another political institution to serve a few elite without foresight; and, the vast majority of current economic goodwill built up post WW2 is quickly being burned to the ground by the administration; and, the market is largely propped up by a handful of speculative tech companies that either have to make their AI promises come true in 5 or so years, or see the trillions being invested burn as they can't turn it into a net profit. Also, removing tariffs isn't some magical fix. Trade agreements take years to a decade plus to hammer out and then setup the actual infrastructure and logistics to implement properly. The current administration has no problem tearing this down with their short sighted belief the U.S. holds all the cards in the world economy (We don't and are losing more every year). Even if they are removed tomorrow, it will take years to rebuild and recover, and numerous markets will never return; Soy bean exports never returned to their pre-tariff export levels after the last time Trump admin did this. I hope I'm wrong, and I will be in certain ways, but I don't think the current conditions are going to lead to anything good for the majority of Americans over the next few years to decade. Even if we don't end up with a traditional economic collapse, we will end up with a highly bifurcated economy that serves a select few, while the rest are drowned in stagflation, even if they are lucky enough to have a decent job.

draw2discard2

If collapse is too strong a word you are sort of sugar coating the situation. French politics are a serious mess. Macron lost all domestic support so he is restricted to his foreign policy goals of starting WW III. It took a massive effort to keep out the far right and install more or less a caretaker government, which is nonetheless trying to push an austerity program (someone has to pay for WW IIII, after all...) and almost certainly getting the boot with no viable alternative...apart from perhaps the far right. Its much closer to chaos than some orderly changing of the guard.

Intelligent_Bee_2881

It’s not “one” person. The government and defense industry of the US are whole heartedly behind it. After WW2 the US and USSR brought in all the high ranking military, government, and scientist and gave them absolute immunity with jobs containing more power and authority than the voting Americans. Like or not, the US and Russia are the bad guys since WW2. They have invaded nearly every country on the planet since and paid no repercussions. Time for the world to join together and stop the forth reich. Name 1 US war since that was for “American Freedom”. There are none and nobody is attacking them. That’s why they have to literally make up enemies and threats to continue their world takeover

New-Association5536

That's a valid point, but if we look at all economies that operate this way, it doesn't work or lead to any actual long term growth. Yeah, the market will reflect the insane inflationary pressure, but the on ground conditions will fall fast. Investing at that point will merely be a way to try and beat inflation, but actual purchasing power will plummet. This over time will lead to a flight of investment capital at some point. The market will not be able to handle the insane stagflation coupled with investment flight as investors who want real returns will begin moving liquidity to stable economies and markets. This was the case with Argentina and every other hyperinflation economy based on manipulation of currency and rates. WW2 Germany still had the war machine creating actual growth. Maybe Trump will start a war with China or some where else to force the war machine to kick into high gear to compensate for the collapsing dollar and stagflation.

Ok-Spare-8176

Probably should have been doing this since WW2. Imagine all the conflicts we as a nation could have avoided if the voters had a controlling interest of the military industrial complex. Probably would have prevented the Vietnam Conflict also caused Kennedy to not get assassinated. Just some food for thought.

It's what it used to be called. It was changed after WW2 to euphemize the inevitable forever war against the reds. It's basically like changing the new, cringe phrase "people who live outside" back to "homeless."

TheHarryMan123

Yeah it’s called ‘national socialism’ When the government uses tax money to support large corporations and pay them off. It’s also used to pull large companies out of bankruptcy. The Nazis did that in their rise to pull their country out of poverty. It worked economically, briefly, and then _really really_ didn’t work.  During the same time period, the USA enacted policies which are close to a socialist economic style. Where the tax base funded union backed jobs and had people paid for doing public works projects. It worked really well, but the military industrial complex accelerated it like crazy during WW2. Unfortunately, people only point to the war part that helped, and not the decade and a half of foundational near-socialist policy which laid rhetoric groundwork.  Now the USA only puts money into the military industrial complex, funds large businesses to pull them out of bankruptcy, and encourages media to praise the government. 

Happy_Discussion_536

It is but they cannot say it. I've shown you numerous respected economists arguing for as high as 4%. Just recently former PIMCO CIO and cambridge president argued they will and should land at 3. My personal feelings? Very tricky. In an ideal world where Congress and president is responsible, Fed should cut aggressively to prevent burdening consumers and the financial system. What is inflation is complicated by metric ton of fiscal stimulus levels not seem since WW2. But it is peacetime and off a boom. Is the job of the Fed to discipline Congress and force responsibility? Or inflation a shared responsibility and not all the Feds fault? It's hard to answer. But what I can say is that here's what the public basically wants: * Fiscal stimulus, they don't care about debt at all for now. * And lower rates.

spikey_wombat

Fascism is content to leave the existing economic system in power as long as those who control the economic power do as the fascists say, or stay out of the way. There isn't an economic ideology outside of obedience.  Corporate entities during and prior to WW2 found out easier to operate by going along with the fascists but they didn't get nationalized like how the UK did. German industry joined up with the Nazis to do the war effort out of fear and greed. Quite different from the US where corporate entities were never afraid of the US government, but joined the war effort out of greed and patriotism.  End result was the same where big corporations became the factories for each country's war effort though. 

abrittain2401

Ooh I don’t know. It’s a choice between a lefty government hell bent on tax and spend policy with a Chancellor who doesn’t have a fucking clue, and a narcissistic wanna-be autocrat who seems hell bent on returning the US to pre-WW2 isolationism while ignoring all economic advice.  Neither is very good for the economy sadly, but I suspect I’d end up better off under Trump, at least financially.

rhododenendron

I would genuinely, wholeheartedly, enthusiastically, with all my being and everything I am, rather be a barista, or McDonald’s cook, or airdrop into Shanghai during WW3, than work on a fucking assembly line in a factory and I would actually take less pay to do those things instead. We don’t even have enough people to work these hypothetical factories though, and to pay people enough to want to work there it’d just be cheaper to automate it instead, so your point is stupid on several fronts.

More like the transition to AS. Actual Slavery. Automating the lower to mid end of admin jobs will leave huge numbers of fairly unskilled workers. Undermining all the leverage the 'working classes' have had since WW2 and returning the world to Victorian levels of inequality. A wealthy elite who own everything and vast numbers of the poor who live on credit until they end up doing manual labour to pay it off in debtors prison. This will massively undercut the high costs of robots and even offshoring. Invest in Core Civic or something...

B2M22X25

Interesting to see what happens in the next few days. With US backing Israel in the genocide + US invading Venezuela, WW3 might be in our near distant future, legitimately. Trump meets with Putin to ensure NO cross fire amongst US and Russia (Russia has good influence down south) while EU holds steady with Ukraine. Hard to imagine EU squaring off against the US tho. American expansion is clear steam ahead, signs are everywhere. I bet a friend that WW3 would pop off in South America, i hope I’m on the losing end of that bet.

Europe has spent the last 80 years working out how not to go to war, following the 2 world wars. This includes lessons about moves to right wing politics which, in the past, brought about massive wars and millions of deaths. America’s approach was to initially feel invincible after WW2 but then have some problems in Asia. This then meant a pivot to spending more than anyone else on weapons, the opposite of Europe. This was quite good for American jobs and businesses. It’s therefore hard for Europeans to suddenly switch to a military footing, when most countries have economic challenges following the American credit crunch in 2008 and then Covid. Also, Europe had a good friend in the previous administration and wishes the US was still being that friend. Most European countries are investing in their military now but it will take 5 to 10 years to be in good shape.

Field_Sweeper

See I wanna give you a chance here, think about what purpose the tariff is for, LONG term, and why they do what they do. And even more so how they work, before we debated any more, this understanding is absolutely required. The entire idea of doing these tariffs, is do very highly pressure companies to stop doing business with other countries and do more business here. That won't happen over night, but the more pain it causes, the faster things can change. OR the threat of that, can be leverage for X to change / bend things more to the will of us. So that we benefit more instead. For years, if you go back and look, there are lopsided agreements, we also do a LOT of out sourcing, we have lost so much capability that if we were to get cut off, we would be FUCKED. That puts us at a major disadvantage. We need to move a LOT more infrastructure back here, FAST. We are literally sitting ducks otherwise, not saying WW3 is coming, but it puts us a much lower bargaining power for other things too. is it painful to do this fast? yes, ripping off a band aid usually stings a bit. I agree, it sucks for me too I GOT LAID OFF. But this isn't just about me. And I can find another job. It never would have gotten done otherwise, (as it hadn't been for years) Again, the swiftness of it has already had some positive effects. It gave up bargaining power, how many caved to some demands? some went back on them, back and forth etc, but over all things are slowing... in my opinion, staring to go towards a direction they should be. From a base standpoint, we still have a lot more to do, and we still have a while before we will see the benefits economically speaking, but the framework being rebuilt is essential to that happening. Now, if you just wanna say fuck all that was too much to read and yell at me, then what ever. But I hope this gives some information, if not please tell me why you think so or where etc. We can get in to evidence things if we need, but right now we are mostly talking political and economic theory.

The biggest winners (assuming taco doesn't nuke the deal 5 seconds later) would be micron, they are heavily investing in India and Qualcomm would benefit quite well in the mid to long term. India is in the middle of the their tech modernization phase that China went through in the mid 2000s. Give it a decade (assume no WW3 or China invading india) and we could see US firms in the smart phone and tablet sectors shoot up. I think long term though aparal and fabric construction will probably move to Africa (don't know where, but I know it's not staying in India for the next 30-40 years)

Exactly. If the US had not gotten involved in WW2, it’s unlikely it would or could have gotten out of the Great Depression so explosively. World War 2 also created a pretty extreme dependency on the US for previous industrial and military powerhouses like France, Germany and Britain, plus plenty of other countries that could break free from imperialist powers needed resources and capital to grow. Which the US promptly provided to a degree. The chart also claims 1951 saw a decrease in the market, when it was saw another revival due to the Korean War

Timing the market is an impossible feat. I do agree we are in a bubble, and believe we are likely very near the end of this market's bull run which in a longer time scale has been ongoing since WW2 era viewed through the lens of Elliott Wave Theory analysis. It may continue to go up as the market has room to run, though probability wise it seems unlikely to stretch much further. How long it can take to turn down is the key and a fools errand to predict. The safest bet is to wait for confirmation, but of course premiums will rise with volatility rising. Best of luck with whatever position you take or don't. I personally am shorting with SPY 630 Puts exp 11/21/2025.

Hitler discussed the propaganda value of adding "Socialist" to "National Socialist German Workers Party" back in 1918. He never intended to have anything like socialism. His only objective was to capture the post WW1 sentiment of a desire for collective help from the Government. Any socialist type programs that evolved from the NAZI party were purely short term and were never the long term objective.

Did you miss the 2008 nationalization/bailout of GM? Or study WW2 history? The US dislikes nationalization of industries if it's not in the US's interests. E.g. Cuba seizing a US oil company's assets in Cuba.

100 years ago you had stuff like William Randolph Hearst using pictures of WW1 England as stand-ins for Soviet Russia; in the 2010’s our mainstream newspapers were calling cities in China with population densities greater than Boston ghost towns; in the 90s and 2020s we’ve seen suppression of journalists like Sy Hirsch (who helped break news on My Lao and Watergate) by mainstream papers. These news outlets can’t be dismantled fast enough. Not that most internet news is any better, but it’s not an additive issue.

TechnicianExtreme200

Over taxation? Look at what US tax rates were post-WW2. Excessive regulation can be rolled back quickly if they really need to, again just at the US. I don't think it's very likely that Europe will build its own big tech companies any time soon, but if they wanted to they absolutely could. It'd also be cheaper for them because tech salaries are much lower there, the talent is comparable to here (especially with the coming brain drain in the US), and AI is highly deflationary here.

Trump is a demagogue, cut from the same cloth as Hitler, Mussolini and all the others. And his policies are accelerating the US towards the biggest debt crisis in our entire history. You're damn straight I'm comparing it to WW2 and the Great Depression.

3% in two weeks is neither enough of a jump nor enough time to really say it's going to stick. Go zoom out on the stock and see how it's been wobblier then the legs on a whore in post WW2 Berlin

Do you remember when we gave back France after WW2? The only way you surrender babies would have gotten your country back would have been to kill thousands of Germans but the British and Americans had to do it for you because of your countries incompetence in being captured Sure though the US is bad because it took land from native Americans and used it to form a world super power that keeps Europeans like you from killing each other

WW3 will be fought on social media, and I'm all for it. Let the wealthy do the fighting for a change, and let our children live without having to kill each other over political misalignments.

It's super funny, because *Isolationists* can't help but ruin literally everything they touch. One of the driving factors of WW2, was a downstream effect of freezing out the Japanese, who had been trade partners until that point. After which, they still needed the resources and figured, *fuckit guess we're doing a little bit of Imperialism now*, and invaded Manchuria the following year. If you vote or support an isolationist, isolationist policy, or ideals, stop. Stop right now. Stop being stupid.

Sorry dude, this is now what America will be for good. This has been in the works for over 40 years. Actually, way longer since most of these ideologies were brought over by all the Nazis that disappeared into the US at the end of WW2.
