In this week's Off the Cuff podcast, Chris and Charles Hugh Smith discuss:
- The Seeds Of World War 3
- Where our path in Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq may lead
- Financial Conquest
- A more bloodless form of war being waged round the world today
- A Crisis Is Unavoidable At This Point
- We're too far down the path of 'extend & pretend' to avoid consequences
- Lack Of Leadership
- Our system seems too broken to produce anymore courageous leaders
As Ukraine drives a wedge between America and its European allies, and Greece threatens to expose the fatal flaw of the Eurozone, the world hurdles faster down the slope of strife.
Chris and Charles reflect that the situation in many ways reflects the tangle of fraying liaisons that cause the death of the relatively-obscure Archduke Ferdinand to ignite the first World War.
The global grab for power, and to be able to hold onto it as the era of decreasing net energy arrives, is being waged more intensely now. And through means both overt and covert: with financial repression (of individuals and countries) becoming a dominant strategy.
