Global debt is above 330 trillion - a Big War is inevitable. Moody or no Moody is going to be irrelevant for a good while. Get ready and study history. Pres Wilson: "this is not our war..." FDR: "this is not our war..." Trump: "this is not our war..." And don't forget that FDR made owning gold illegal and put US citizens in internment camps. Plan accordingly... can you milk a cow? And 'sophisticated Old World' is still haggling over the payments for the Everyone Against Everyone War. China will patiently wait until the dead bodies of the enemies will simply float downstream by the river of history. They are a great scarecrow, but they will not be game in this BS. Betray and Sacrifice Games are commenced. Ukraine was the litmus test.
I don't think so. You're just all caught up in media hype, drama and clickbait. That's why everyone has nuclear bombs...as a deterrent. To keep everyone else in check. And besides, this isn't WW2...modern so-called war incidents are over so quickly.
As of early 2025, global debt has reached unprecedented levels, surpassing $324 trillion. This marks a significant increase from the previous record of $318 trillion in 2024, with nearly $7 trillion added in just one year . Breakdown of Global Debt Total Global Debt: Over $324 trillion. Debt-to-GDP Ratio: Approximately 327% globally, with emerging markets at a record-high 245% . Debt by Sector: Non-financial Corporations: $94.1 trillion. Households: $59.1 trillion. Governments: $91.4 trillion. Financial Sector: $70.4 trillion . Key Contributors to the Surge China: Added $2 trillion to its debt, with government debt expected to exceed 100% of GDP by year-end. France and Germany: Significant increases in public borrowing. Emerging Markets: Collectively added $4.5 trillion, with notable contributions from Brazil, India, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey . Implications and Risks The rapid accumulation of debt raises concerns about fiscal sustainability, especially in emerging markets facing higher refinancing costs and potential liquidity pressures. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that global public debt could approach 100% of global GDP by 2030, a level not seen since World War II . Governments are urged to implement prudent fiscal policies to manage debt levels and mitigate potential economic shocks.
Gemini says "Before World War I, the advanced economies had been on a trend of decreasing debt ratios, reaching a low point of 23% of GDP in 1914. The beginning of the war disrupted this trend, and the debt-to-GDP ratios of advanced economies subsequently increased significantly." and "Before World War II, global public debt, particularly in advanced economies, was rising during the Great Depression, reach a debt-to-GDP ratio of 80% in 1932. However, this ratio began to decline in the mid- to late 1930s as economies recovered from the Depression. The outbreak of World War II, however, led to a rapid increase in debt as countries borrowed to finance the war effort, with debt ratios reaching almost 150% of GDP in advanced economies by 1946."
So... If all these countries got rogether and agreed to cut their debt to each other by 10%... Everyone's cool, right?
Hundreds of trillions of world wide debt and no one gives a fuck,....there is no need to worry, seems that the higher world wide debt rises the strong the economic outlook. I never hear any analysts or talking heads worry about GDP That's never going to happen. Just wishful thinking.... They can't even cut by 0%.
The West has been bankrupt for quite a while. The next war will be triggered by another Sovereign Debt default just like the 1930s. Back then it was the May 1931 collapse of the Austrian Superbank owned by the Rothschilds Creditanstalt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creditanstalt The Creditanstalt (sometimes Credit-Anstalt[1] or CA) was an Austrian bank. The Creditanstalt was based in Vienna, founded in 1855 as K. k. priv. Österreichische Credit-Anstalt für Handel und Gewerbe(approximately translated as: Imperial royal privileged Austrian Credit-Institute for Commerce and Industry) by the Rothschild family. Being very successful, it became the largest bank of Austria-Hungary. It declared bankruptcy on May 11, 1931. It has been said that this event resulted in a global financial crisis and ultimately the bank failures of the Great Depression.[2]:2–3 [3] The bank was ultimately rescued by the Oesterreichische Nationalbank and the Rothschilds and merged with the Wiener Bankverein, thus changing its name to Creditanstalt-Bankverein. http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/11_18/b4226012481756.htm In May 1931, a Viennese bank named Credit-Anstalt failed. Founded by the famous Rothschild banking family in 1855, Credit-Anstalt was one of the most important financial institutions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and its failure came as a shock because it was considered impregnable. The bank not only made loans; it acquired ownership stakes in all kinds of companies throughout the sprawling empire, from sugar producers to the new automobile makers. Its headquarters city, Vienna, was a place of wealth and splendor, famous for its opera, balls, chocolate, psychoanalysis, and the extravagant architecture of the Ringstrasse. The fall of Credit-Anstalt—and the dominoes it helped topple across Continental Europe and the confidence it shredded as far away as the U.S.—wasn't just the failure of a bank: It was a failure of civilization.
This time the fed will print 10x the amount and just pour it back into the markets and economy. Only way to keep markets and economy propped up is with printing trillions from the fed. Rinse and repeat.
Correct. There is always a tipping point. Unfortunately, it is usually recognized only after its occurrence.
