Somewhere out there in the world is a documentary about the prostitutes who worked in Pearl Harbor during WW2. Apparently they could do 50-60 sailors an hour.

Ironically, the US was seen as a good anti-colonial Western nation in the Middle East, and many American archaeologists and scholars built facilities in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. Then everything went downhill after WW2 thanks to Truman

If Kharg is destroyed the current gas prices at the pump will look like chump change. Iran may not have nuclear weapons but China and Russia do and probably more than willing to sell to them. WW3 inevitable due to a pedophile president not wanting his open secrets out in the open.

Drone stocks are gonna be such an obvious play in hindsight, 2-3 years from now. Donny has pretty much increased global instability / tensions to levels not seen since WW2 and every country seems to be increasing defense spend at unprecedented levels.

> the realistic way is rebuilding relationships with China That's not something that can properly happen. Since the late 80's the CCP narrative is the "never forgive the foreigners for what they did to us" (previously it was a victor narrative). The government specifically leaves historic sites destroyed by foreign forces as ruins, while the order of magnitude more things that were damaged or destroyed during the cultural revolution are rebuilt and they pretend like nothing ever bad happened to them. Even if Japan takes accountability for what it did during WW2 China will not stop until it achieves what it considers revenge.

If there's any cause worth fighting WW3 for, defending Israel is a worthy one. I believe it's the duty of every God-fearing American to live and die for Israel.

Actual WW3

MrDinglehut

My Uncle was in the Merchant Marine during WW2 and his ship impacted another ship in New York Harbor. They still had to go along with the rest of the ships in the convoy. His ship could not keep up and was never heard from again. Radio silence means no SOS would be sent. They all drowned alone in the dark. It sucked for a lot of people then as it does now. War is worse than hell because theoretically people did something to be sent to hell while war has plenty of people that never did anything but are still involved.

I would caution against using wisdom from the last century in the current one. The 1930s (when Graham cut his teeth) were a completely different time than 2026. Just Glass-Steagall, Basel III, 401ks, index funds, and Fed Reserve independence from the executive make this a completely different world. And there are even more changes on top of these like WW2, Bretton Woods, the gold standard, etc. Bull markets last far longer than they did back then and are more resilient even if the underlying economy is going through shocks.

Christosconst

My bets for WW3 are in 2028

Electrical_Panda_326

Yep, they've been doing to since the end of WW2. The alternative is to increase taxes or reduce spending and we know it's not going to happen. So we are going to hear loads of speeches stating that they are committed to fight with inflation, but will let the inflation "eat" the debt.

UnlikelyIntrepid

After 9/11 the Canadian military contributed 40,000 troops to Operation Enduring Freedom.  As a percentage of population this is roughly half the amount of troops as the US sent.   The Royal Canadian Navy had its largest deployment since WW2 in support of the US counter terrorism operations.   Don’t be so quick to forget our friends 

flyingdutchmnn

South Korea is threatened by North Korea and Japan is not allowed to have an army of significance since WW2. Has it crossed your mind that the US is there for their own interests? You think countries were pleading for that or something? Just like US bases in Europe are for their operations in the entire hemisphere. Without those bases US has no country they could invade lol

PaperHandsTheDip

Most recent one I'm aware of is the US trying to rename lake Ontario to lake America. America is literally trying to annex Canada now (& has threatened to for it's other allies too). It has the highest potential of any country to start WW3 at the moment imo. At least it takes eyes away from the debt crisis ig.

2008 was a -55 percent crash peak to trough, we have one of those about every 40 years. We aren’t nearly there yet. We will have a crash and that crash will probably be brought on by a black swan, I’m betting on a giant west coast earthquake to kick it off, like a 1906 San Fran earthquake scenario. Then I dunno what. We would have to extinguish the US dollar and create all new currency like post WW2 Germany. (Japan came back from complete devastation also in 1946 to be the greatest economy on earth by 1985). Truth be told if we did collapse, long term, it probably would be good for us. Anyway why worry about it, when it happens we are all fucked. If you want to truly prepare start buying things you can trade for now. Whiskey, cigarettes, chickens, bullets. Everything else will be worthless. Think “book of Eli” shit here.

Unique_Alps_9948

All money is imaginary. Except precious metals. Especially since we went off the gold standard and since we hit 40T in national debt. A dollar is worth what people think it is. We are headed to some post WW2 Bismarck scenario but again not just yet. Our debt is no longer sustainable. Especially with f-tard McGee steering the ship. I say we have a good year before shit collapses. Why? Because most collapses are discovered about two years before they collapse. The RE market collapse was announced in Fortune magazine in 2005. It didn’t collapse until 9/2007 and then through 3/2009. We came out ok on the other end due to massive government intervention. I don’t know we have a lot of those left in us.

The Iraq war in 2003 was definitely a military victory. The occupation afterwards obviously got supremely messy though for a lot of complicated reasons. Nobody really outright wins wars these days on their own, in terms of like achieving unconditional victory and terms. You can always throw an asterisk to basically any conflict in some way. The US also hasn't gone like truly full-in on a war since WW2. Even Korea and Vietnam were not executed in a similar manner as WW2, with a lot more restraint shown. If anybody takes all this to conclude the US military actually sucks, then that's very much the wrong lesson. Wars/conflicts are necessarily complicated.

There was GLOBAL tariffs last year, old news. Now we are all watching the "oil shock of the century" possibly escalating into WW3 and bond yields potentially unraveling and causing the collapse of the USD and global financial system as we know it.

Investing in gold and silver is less about growth and more about “insurance” against crashes in value of paper money. A US dollar is worth a US dollar because the government says it is. We aren’t on the gold standard anymore (ended in the 70s). Think of it this way, at the end of WW2, would you rather have 1 million in USD of German Reichsmarks or 250,000 in USD of gold?

beargambogambo

We have given security guarantees to our allies going back to WW2. We have a strong military because of our logistics and their reliance on our guarantee. If we alienate allies, they will be forced to question the relationship and start building up their military. This leads to nuclear proliferation in the long run. A simple but effective example, we backed out of military exercises with S. Korea and gave a nod to N. Korea because they have nukes. What does this signal to Iran? It says that the only way we will be respected is if they have nukes. And what does it signal to S. Korea if we repeatedly do this? That we are unreliable and they need to build up their military.

Simple man's language: Scott has an income of $55,000 per year. Scott spends $75,000 per year ($10,000 on guns). Scott grows his debt by $20,000 per year. Scott has total debt right now of $400,000. Scott has fixed unfunded liabilities of $1,750,000 and is less than 10 years from retirement. Scott's own employees say that his 130% debt will be 690% by the year 2096. Scott needs to refinance roughly $100,000 in the next 12 months to stay solvent. What is happening now? Scott has a Japanese friend who is his biggest lender (despite being in even more debt) that just told Scott he might need to unwind $110,000 of Scott's debt to the open market. Therefore Scot sent his Japanese friend "$50-$100" this summer to keep him calm and ask him to not dump the debt. The credit card companies Scott borrows from are refusing to give him cheap debt anymore, and are giving him 19 year highs on interest rates. Scott said on August 19th that because nobody is buying his credit card debt that he will "at least double" the rate he is buying back his own credit card debt with new debt he takes out. The credit card companies didn't like that and offered him even higher rates 24 hours later. If Scott goes bankrupt we have WW3, because Scott has been buying lots of guns. Scott would rather dilute Dollars he is borrowing in and watch himself starve than go bankrupt. You can buy 100% of the insurance in the world against Scott's insolvency for $15,700. Scott himself has said publicly that he wants to buy insurance against himself and that people should consider buying it. Scott's friends say they want to back his debt with the insurance against his debt - because the insurance is that cheap and the debt is that bad. This insurance plan's cost to buy went up 30% over the last 3 days. Why? Because people are starting to doubt Scott. Scott is America. The insurance plan is Bitcoin.

ReasonableBrother448

It is a gradual move towards that. In a sense the election has been rigged after WW2 in USA with various methods, two party system is a huge rigged mechanism, it is the facade of Democracy. However the state system has to be dissolved, first it will appear as giving more freedoms to states but actually what it does is probably to reduce their means to fight back. It is actually quite similar what happened in Russia, but from different reasons. What you need fundamentally is the support of population to do what Putin did in 2000-2010 I could argue there never was any need to rig elections in Russia, but it became eventually necessity. Not from reasons of losing support, but avoiding political attacks that so easily undermine these sorts of regimes.

Both sides fuck everyone over. They tell a different version of the same lie. No one has balanced a budget since Clinton. The national debt hasn't been zeroed since Andrew Jackson. Obama raised the national debt nearly $10T. Trump first term raised it 7.8T. Biden added $8.4T in 4 years. No president/congress is being fiscally responsible with our money. National Debt to GDP is at 125% right now. Above the previous high of 106% reached near the end of WW2. We are being told not to worry, that we will grow GDP to get out of this but that is unlikely.

The US has invaded 8 sovereign nations since 1950 along with innumerable clandestine hostile acts of various forms of terrorism, primarily economic. The first 2 wars after WW2, the dems were in power, the last 6 the reps were in power. Every time there is a massive propaganda campaign to guilt other countries into joining some coalition of the damned with americans threatening to leave NATO. You're viewed now as the bad guys and leaving NATO will make you North Korea adjacent.

Tallwhitedude123

I’m not assuming anything. I’m applying RISK. A 30yr bond carries DURATION RISK. You have to factor in the fact that inflation has been way above target for 6yrs now, the government continuing to massively increase debt and deficits vs GDP, geopolitical risks, oil shock risks, and most importantly now that not only is the government not actively fighting inflation but are actually MANIPULATING government debt which will likely full inflation higher, not lower. So when you factor all of this in buying a 30yr treasury at 5.3% is not a good proposition. No more talking. Just watch. You already provided the example, Japan. When they implemented financial repression to spur growth after WW2 bonds severely underperformed while asset bubbles were created everywhere else. This led to the opposite of financial repression which is when bonds actually massively outperformed.

Boomers parents? The gen referred to as the "Silent Generation"? Boomers got their start in 46, and they grew up in a prosperous era, so unknown in any world history prior to them that it could be described as fiction. They were pumped out in a post war moment that would be hard to describe to anyone prior.  The amount of resources, land, houses, jobs, roads, infrastructure, not to mention money or access to capital and technology like cars, phones, tvs, airlines, etc that was available to them is insane. And will probably never happen again. Their parents gen started in 1927 and they had to grow up in the aftermath of WW1 and great depression. And as they got their footing, they had to prepare for and build the US economy in WW2. I doubt the silent gen were as entitled as the boomers, but they built the world took over.

Tallwhitedude123

You’re simply wrong. First off the US government has already done this in the past. They did it post WW2 in order to decrease the massive debt from the war. Simple question. Who regulates the banks? The US government! The US government tells the banks what to do. The banks have no say in the matter.

Taxes are only going to go up just to offset some of this debt as well. No matter who is in office we don’t cut spending so the only real other lever to pull is increase taxes. We are already at low tax rates historically right now it could realistically go up to post WW2 rates in extreme scenarios

No war with China, china wants regional control. Mexico can be bribed and knows war with US is bad for business. Iran is led by batshit crazy people with nothing to lose. Like fighting a Japanese soldier in WW2, still in the jungle 20 years later waiting for the enemy.

I am very aware of the 'Beyond the status quo" paper, I have made many comments where I bring it up and link to it. Its a good paper but I do have some trouble with certain aspects of it. I do worry about the data in the paper used for government bonds, I believe they used a dataset for government bonds that included bonds that went basically worthless, like post WW1 Germany bonds. I would be interest to see if they used a bond set that followed a largely US total bond market index. Also when the simulation was allow to choose the optimal allocation for each year, in the simulation using a constant dollar 4% withdraw rate, the simulation decided the optimal portfolio included a "bills" allocation in the first \~5 years of retirement as high as \~25%. Also in the context of a 529 plan that OP is talking about, it is likely that the withdrawal rate will be significantly higher than what the paper covered and would require some level of bonds to have the highest possible chance of having the best withdraw outcome.

Electrical_Panda_326

That's exactly the plan. Since the end of WW2, America always chose to inflate the debt away rather than reduce spending.

>If the well-being of our country relies on constant warfare, there is something fundamentally wrong with it.  No arguments there. Basically, the US needs a huge army for a number of reasons, such as backing the petrodollar, preventing other powers from rising etc. And the problem is that amassing a powerful army leads you into armed conflicts by the very virtue of having it. It's how WW1 started. Militarization, militarization, militarization... at some point it leads to war, right? Otherwise, your economy will collapse from the unsustainability of maintaining a huge army.

“One’s own employees ought to be one’s own best customers.” — Henry Ford, Today and Tomorrow (1926) Even though Ford was a bit of a crank, this philosophy in part it could be argued, led to the economic boom that was the post WW2 US (and also the baby boom, because families with some economic security- you guessed it, have babies) It’s the huge “person shaped hole” we are looking at in all this automation talk and ai crap.. who is going to be buying anything if we have outsourced or automated all the jobs?

What makes you think the US has shifted to the right on economic policies in recent decades? In 1988 the marginal tax rate was 33%. In 2026 it is 37%. Federal, state, and local taxes combined as a percentage of GDP was around 28.8% in 1988 and around 28.2% recently, so pretty close to flat in terms of GDP. In 1988 the number of pages in the Federal Register (a common proxy for the number of regulations) was 50,000. In 2026 it is estimated to be 85,000. Government transfer payments to households (what the Bureau of Economic Analysis labels as Government Social Benefits To Persons - things like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security) amounted to approximately 10.5% of GDP in the late 1980s and is currently around 16.0% of GDP. So, taxes are flat with maybe slightly more on the highest bracket, regulations have expanded, and social benefits payments have expanded. But, more directly as it relates to socialism rather than progressivism, Trump has taken or has plans to take a government stake in approximately 30 companies and counting. That is unheard of outside of temporary measures during a major war or major economic crisis. Woodrow Wilson did it during WW1, FDR did it during the Great Depression and WW2. Carter did it for Chrysler. Bush 2 and Obama did it during the GFC. All of those were temporary measures and were almost always non-voting shares. What Trump has done by taking voting shares and with the intent of permanent positions outside of any crisis, is an alarming degree of government command economy for the US. People sometimes forget what capitalism is: the *private* ownership of the means of production. What Trump is doing by taking a government stake in companies is destroying capitalism in favor of a socialist, command economy. That is true regardless of what he does with the tax rates or with regulations.

MainAd9627

man, this is not how priced in works, i just tried to explain... There is a risk of a worst case scenario, of course that is thought about when pricing a asset. You simply say wait If that worst case szenario has happend, than the price was wrong. You are exactly thinking what I tried to show with my example. You say, look, the 1 was rolled, the asset wasnt worth 95$ all along. Which is just plain wrong. If WW3 doesnt happen, and the stocks keep rising, was the price also wrong?

Proudrugby

If one can't determine the correct value it's not priced in. It's partially priced in. As in my example above....if WW3 happens because of current events....You'll see what's priced in

Proudrugby

To a degree yes, hence why I said predicting the probability of an outcome based on what is known. That's priced in or partially priced in. Say for example WW3 breaks out in 2 months time because of current events. Would you say that it's priced in. We both know the answer. Not everything is priced in

She added that current leaders would be held responsible by history if a nuclear conflict occurred.**

PaperHandsTheDip

Money printing causes inflation & currency to faceplant in value. IE: If you doubled the amount of currency in existence without changing the output of any country, we would roughly expect everything to double in price... including the price of equities. It's not "past performance does not guarantee future results" it's literally - they can and will print money. They introduced laws that allow them to, and called it Quantative Easing. Look at what QE does. It first introduced in 2008 and we've only had two crisis's since - 2008 & covid... it wasn't a thing before. We have a plethora of evidence of what happens when governments print money tho (see germany post WW2 as an example). It reduces down to the above - everything goes up in value relative to that currency. Interesting thing about our markets are they are priced in... that exact currency. US markets are priced in USD. If USD faceplants in value due to inflation / being printed, you'd expect markets to go up relative to how much USD goes down - assuming economic output remains constant. Since QE was introduced the fed has made it very clear it will be utilized during any crisis. In that sense - yah - our economic output may actually go down. But the value (quoted in USD) is going to go up, since markets go up to compensate for the faceplanting value of USD. \> When money printing fail to solve the problem, it would fail spectacular. Yah, it doesn't work very well. But when markets are quoted in USD, your retirement is quoted in USD - why in the world would you EVER want to hold USD when they print it like no other? They've already shown they don't care about the dollar, making sure number go up is more important. You're betting against that saying market is going to crash...
