Violent War Cycles – Global Economic Decline – Next Decline Will Be Far Worse Than Last One – Martin Armstrong with Greg Hunter

Global economic expert Martin Armstrong says two big violent cycles are happening for the first time in 300 years. Domestic and international unrest is consuming the world. Armstrong contends, “Both of these cycles are converging at the same time, and this hasn’t happened since the 1700’s. That was the American Revolution, the French Revolution and etcetera. That was the revolution against monarchies, so to speak. This is not just Ukraine, Russia and the U.S. You have the Middle East going crazy. Gaza is starting up again with Israel. You go over to Asia and you have civil unrest in Thailand, and the overwhelming part of the population in China wants to go to war with Japan as payback.”

Why all the violence around the world? Armstrong contends, “When everyone is fat and happy, nobody cares. Everybody lives together peacefully. When you turn the economy down, that’s when people start getting mad. They lost something, and they want to blame somebody else for whatever injury they suffered. We look at the entire world . . . what you are looking at on a global scale is the emerging markets: China, Russia, South America, Brazil, South East Asia, their stock markets peaked in 2007. They have been in a declining economic trend . . . so you have the economic pressure building. This is what’s going on in Russia as well. We are making a serious mistake by thinking that Russia can’t fight. My sources say that they anticipated the sanctions on Putin would make the oligarchs turn against him and force him to back out. That’s not going to happen. We are going into a period of economic decline, and whenever that happens, government needs an external enemy.” So, when markets crashed in 2007, what did Congress do? They did investigations and went after Wall Street. They never admit it has anything to do with them. . . . If Putin were to back off, they would eat him for lunch. He would be overthrown within Russia.”
