Global Pulse: The Russian-Ukraine Conflict, U.S. Political Tensions, and Global Economic Turbulence.
The sheer scale of the Russian-Ukraine conflict is mind-boggling. The estimated number of dead and wounded from both sides ranges from five hundred thousand to one million. Internal and external refugees number between two and five million.
The number of bombs dropped and airstrikes has surpassed twenty thousand. The war tempo has accelerated. The United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom have allowed Ukraine to strike deep within Russian territory, particularly military targets using their weapons.
Russia's military has transitioned to a war economy, and its economic engine is operating at full capacity. The West appears to be undecided about how much support to offer Ukraine. Unless the battle ends in a settlement or peace talks, we expect European and NATO soldiers to be deployed in Ukraine and strike Russia hard from deep within the country in the near future.
When Russia is hit hard by Western military equipment and infrastructure, it will respond by intensifying the fight by attacking targets in Eastern Europe, in areas such as Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania etc., saying they are supply lines for arming Ukraine.
Russia's attacks on NATO countries will either cause NATO to implode because the U.S. is unlikely to engage Russia in a direct confrontation, or Western Europe will finally band together as a group and threaten complete war on Russia if it does not comply with certain conditions.
Whatever occurs next, you should be mentally prepared for some extremely difficult times ahead. Global trade, the stock market, and trade are all expected to decline significantly. Currencies will weaken, exports may fail, and imports may dry up, ushering in a period of extremely poor living standards across the globe.
China is also still waiting for the weakest point, and they will go for Taiwan. Donald Trump, the court case, possible jail term, the US is headed for some very dark and bloody days, if these political complications are not handled well.
The ex-president’s conviction on 34 felony counts in a hush money case could spark a torrent of violent threats from his hardcore base, most of them on Trump’s own Truth Social platform or other far-right forums like Patriots. Win and the Gateway Pundit. “Civil war. Nothing can stop what is coming,” one user raged, mincing no words. I don’t want to delve into US politics; things could get really messy very fast.
But the bottom-line is this! If you live in America, if push comes to shove, what is your strategy for protecting your money/wealth? Are 100% of your investments in the U.S.? Given the global and local dynamics, is this a big risk? Yes, it appears so. Are you in a position to live a peaceful productive life outside USA for the long term?
If possible, transfer some funds to international bank accounts in stable countries or tax havens. Offshore banking can provide protection against local economic collapse or confiscation. Emerging markets of Africa and Asia will be a good store of value. Gold, silver, or other precious metals can retain value and can be easily transported or hidden.
Cryptocurrencies, which offer decentralized and relatively secure methods of storing wealth that can be accessed from anywhere in the world can come in handy. Have a clear and actionable plan for evacuation, including necessary documents, funds, and/or contacts.
