Maybe the perspective from gutless Third World countries that can't defend themselves unless their King decides to help. In America we know it is just posturing from pipsqueaks time.
Now be a good toadie and back on your knees to service your King.

Those who can, have.
And YOU, as opposed to some talking head on TV, defines "crash" how, exactly? Or are they as ignorant as you when it comes to, you know, the meaning of WORDS?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', 'w')e can confirm tonight that millions of Joe Biden, illegal aliens, people who crossed the border when Joe was president, are now collecting food stamps from a program funded by hardworking American taxpayers.”
It's a hard equation to balance. The Growth model, that goes back hundreds of years, includes a certain intake of new people into a country to maintain itself. Sometimes the equation gets tipped too far and causes real problems in society. I should say, real problems in capitalistic-industrial societies because forced growth in population in the natural world is not needed at all. Nature finds the correct balance, we see it all around us. This natural balance only gets skewed when man is involved, like when he builds grain silos and barns that lead to a mouse plague. Like when he inadvertently (or overtly) imports a species into a region and upsets the natural balance (fire ants; foxes, rabbits).
All you can really say with any confidence is that womankind fucks it up every time and their empires of greed and subjugation collapse in a heap and they scatter like cockroaches when the light is turned on. This current industrial/financial empire began over 400 years ago in Portugal probably. The Western Christian empire of conquest over the Moslem empire and over the "new worlds". 400 years is about the average too, and when the current head of the snake, the US, loses control the empire will fade into obscurity. I find it interesting that the US has now withdrawn from the world stage as enforcer and is focusing on the Venezuelan oil rich lands. That's a classic sign of Empires' end when they begin to retreat to their core region. The problem for them is Russia and China are down there too. It's no longer their sole preserve.
We're 17 years past the peak now and the 3rd World is going hungry and dark. We'll be next, we're well on the way in fact.

China, Venezuela and the US: The Coming Confrontation in the Caribbean
October 5, 2025
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he United States appears to be on a mission to blow up alleged “narco-boats” in Venezuelan waters. In the last two weeks alone, two such vessels have been destroyed by the US navy with some fourteen casualties...
However, the ongoing naval adventure is aimed at addressing a larger geostrategic deficit that the United States faces vis a vis Venezuela. The current operations against the drug cartels and “narco-terrorists” in the region, is an indirect attempt at reducing the growing influence of China in Venezuela.
All weather allies
China is Venezuela’s biggest trading partner. Owing to the decade-long US economic blockade and diplomatic sanctions, Venezuela, over the years, has become increasingly dependent on Chinese trade and investment. As part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Venezuela has received tens of billions of dollars in loans, trade, and investments.
In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to suggest that Venezuela has become China’s number one client state in Latin America. Ever since the coming to power of the left-leaning regime of Hugo Chavez, some three decades back, Beijing has extended as much as $62.5 billion in loans to Venezuela. In the current context, China remains Venezuela’s biggest creditor.

And for those ignorant of the fact.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')t is well known that Venezuela sits over the highest known oil reserves. Oil is Venezuela’s main and almost sole export. An increasingly energy reliant China has invested heavily in this sector. Needless to add, currently its firms have deep stakes in Venezuelan oil, power grids and infrastructure.
