The duality of financial crisis and war: a precarious threat.


The risk of financial crisis and war is a pressing concern for policymakers and analysts around the world. The interplay between economic instability and geopolitical tensions can have far-reaching consequences for global security and prosperity.

Financial crises, characterized by a sudden and severe disruption in the financial system, can have a cascading effect on the global economy. The 2008 financial crisis, for example, triggered a global recession that brought about widespread unemployment, bankruptcies, and economic hardship for millions of people. As countries become increasingly interdependent in today’s globalized economy, the ripple effects of a financial crisis can spread rapidly across borders, leading to a domino effect of economic turmoil.

In times of economic distress, the risk of conflict also tends to increase. Scarce resources, economic inequality, and political instability can fuel tensions between nations, leading to a greater likelihood of conflict and war. History has shown us that economic downturns can exacerbate existing geopolitical rivalries and create new flashpoints that threaten peace and stability.

Furthermore, the link between financial crises and war is not one-way. Wars and conflicts can also have a profound impact on the global economy, disrupting trade, disrupting supply chains, and causing significant economic damage. The costs of war, both human and economic, can be staggering and take years to recover from.

In recent years, we have seen how the threat of financial crises and conflicts can intersect in regions such as the Middle East, East Asia, and Eastern Europe. The ongoing tensions between major powers such as the United States, China, and Russia, combined with economic uncertainties stemming from factors such as trade disputes, currency fluctuations, and rising debt levels, have created a volatile environment that is fraught with risks.

To mitigate the risk of financial crisis and war, policymakers must work towards strengthening the resilience of the global financial system, promoting greater economic cooperation and dialogue between nations, and addressing the root causes of conflict such as poverty, inequality, and political instability. By working together to address these challenges, we can help to foster a more peaceful and prosperous world for future generations.

    I learned great deal from Ray, thank you!

    Sir, My strategy is based on end of day closing prices of forex(multiple pairs daily). Standing Orders are entered with the daily trend & placed at distance of 70% of daily ATR(distance D), away from closing price with take profit of 50% & stop loss of 50%(of distance D)–win or lose, no manual interference. Next day new orders are entered based on end of day closing prices. All previous day's unfilled orders are cancelled(but no manual interference with executed but open orders).Based on option probability theory/ Brownian motion, the SYSTEM should make money, if trader SITS & does not fool around using his brain. I seek your wisdom & thank you.

    And we are being lead by the most divisive president in moderate history who is not helping our cause as he drivers us closer to WW3 against the world’s most nuclear-armed nation!

    Risk of civil war where? I dont see any such indications in any of the western civilized world

  12. @orange1666

    Hence the escalation in Ukraine to provide a distraction from the real crooks – Russia is not the enemy – our own greedy elite are the enemy , it’s not Putin who taxes us westerners to debt , it’s not Putin that dictates our policies or steals our tax dollars , was not Putin who created all the covid BS regulations based on no creditable science or data , it’s not Putin censoring the real experts or media here – we have been deceived

    Read your History…it's a tragic and sobering read of the blind hubris of the Ruling class Oligarchy "knowing" this time it's different because they are so much better, smarter, superior, etc.. (they started to really believe their own lies and echo chambers)

    …hence the Rise and Fall of nations for 100,000 years before and forever into the future…

    Republics only last until those in power realize they can manipulate/propagandize the 51% to enslave the other 49%…while they loot the treasury and live in Roman style debauchery and self worship.

    …Alexander's curse is REAL…apparently the real holy land is Afghanistan as 100% of the Empires that invade all crumble to nothing within 1 generation or less…

    If these people are so smart why don’t they prevent it ?
    Exactly….
