Topic: Economic Implications of War on Individuals - page 8. (Read 2188 times)

Yes, the last (to this day) legitimate president of Ukraine Yanukovych killed no one. Pro-American junta leader Zelensky killed or mutilated over 1 million people. Can you feel the difference?

You start making things up again - the war started in February 2022 not in 2014.  

Very good answer, hard to disagree !
It is only necessary to add that the first point refers to the residents of the country of the potential AGGRESSOR. And it is in their hands not to allow war to break out.

The second point is perfectly correct, and is confirmed by modern practice. The "ideal example" is Ukraine, where the pro-Russian President Yanukovych, during his term of office, did everything to extremely weaken the armed forces of Ukraine, demoralize the forces, deprive them of the necessary reserves to wage a defensive war.... The result you know - 2014, Russia's terrorist attack on Ukraine, and this terrorist war continues for the 10th year....

I would also add point 3: Joining economic and military-political alliances like NATO. Any aggressor is afraid of POWER and RESPONSE. As you know from history, there has never been a single case of a crazed aggressor attacking a country with greater military, technological, and economic potential. The peculiarity of bastard regimes is meanness and cowardice, so they attack only countries that are guaranteed to be unable to resist.

You have to wait for the war to be over for rebuilding to start. Sometimes the government will take this as an opportunity to change the system of owning land on the ground zero.

While the war is going on, hard to find an easy money-making job you can do when you are on the ground but because people have to eat and live normally, I guess dairy products from milk to butter and bread as its a necessity for everyone. And at the same time, you can feed your family too.

Unless you already live inside a warzone, you should ask about ways to prevent war instead of trying to think about ways of surviving it. NOW is the time for prevention since war hasn't broken out in 99% of the world.

There are two main ways of doing that:
1. Kicking any idiot in the government who is a warmonger or is stupidly taking steps that is going to lead to conflict out of office. This is specifically important for countries who are or have elected people who are not really politicians and have no clue what they are doing. Best example is Ukraine that had a celebrity as president who pushed their country into war.

2. Increasing military defensive strength to discourage any foreign force from thinking of starting any kind of conflict. That requires more budget allocation, and most importantly strategic alliances specifically with neighbors while avoiding far away players that seek their own interests at the cost of destroying your country such as what United States has been doing to other countries around the world.

War wouldn't stop you from needing food, shelter, and all the other stuff you need to keep you and your family safe and fulfilled. It's not wrong for OP to ask for such things especially since I see him as a family man who's at a crossroads right now, although I don't really know which country he's residing in and all that stuff.

In any case, unfortunately I don't know of any business you could make while you're at war, only after the war has finally cleared and the aftermath is laid bare. You ever watched Lord of War? if you do then you might know what I'm already referring to, although I propose a way more ethical approach to this situation. You could set a joint effort/campaign with your neighbors and eventually your country, to pick these weapons from the ground, melt them and reuse the metals for infrastructure and rebuilding. I don't know how viable this approach is so you guys might want to correct me if ever, but I see this as the only feasible way you can make profit within arms length of a war, while still retaining your morals and probably even helping your country rebuild.

Apparently, in order for there to be no wars or significantly fewer of them, states must agree with existing borders and not try to change them by force. Now, for example, Venezuela suddenly remembered that more than a hundred years ago, a significant part of the current territory of Guyana belonged to Venezuela and they intend to take it back by military means. Although the real reason for this possible war is the discovery of large oil deposits in this disputed territory. Apparently, human nature is such that he will always fight with his neighbors until humanity itself perishes.

this is true because country also needs to mantain the resource that they have in the right place, I think there's many reasons why some countries out there decide to mind their own business for various purposes.
honestly when it comes to economic implications I think we can agree with the fact that inflation does increase a lot these days that it decreasing our buying powers.
not to mention the worsening housing market thats just simply unaffordable for people and keep in mind that having a house to live in, basically a shelter is basic needs.
can't really grow when half of our money goes to rent, it will be great if the wars could eventually be ended, lifting off a burden from the world economic is always a good thing but we know things are complicated.

No one likes wars, not even the soldiers at the frontline.
War is like a parasite with tentacles that drains the living day light out of everything it touches. It doesn’t benefit anyone or any side to the story, yet you find this conflict situations existing within us.
Being prone to anger, means you could be prone to conflict and war. It’s a part of our human existence and one that can end humanity.

War ends in minutes the civilization that has taken a lifetime to build, it reduces nations to rubbles and holds nothing back on its path to destruction.
My heart goes to those having to endure this process at the time and hope the rest of our world do the most they could to support every side. Every fighting side is a victim and a part to humanity. War is the real enemy here and not the people at war with themselves. Let’s our coexist and know that we share this world together and we need ourselves to survive.

some countries are also obviously much powerful than others in terms of military and economical powers it’s devastating because instead of helping or showing a stand, some countries tend to just step aside and watch things unfold if the war has no direct impact on the country especially if a much powerful country, one that also helps the lesser powerful countries, is involved they might not want to upset the powerful country and risk losing their connection

people are dying from wars but politics is politics and countries will always take a stand based on what they will gain or what they will lose

Wars are started and wars are ended by a few countries and a few people in the world and a few countries in the world. Many countries cannot refrain from war even if they want to because they have nothing to do.
Many countries continue to be anti-war because of regional and geographical interests and colonial politics so that if war exists among them, they can also profit. Because of this many times war does not end

There is no universal advice... it depends on whether you live in the city or in the countryside, and what kind of group you are surrounded by, whether you have weapons, there are many factors that can influence decision-making in difficult moments. If you are not a fighter maybe you can decide to run, but even running is not simple in many ways! Except you need money for wherever you are going it can be very hard to leave behind everything you built over the years, and not only you, but maybe your entire heritage.


Of course, people need to eat, drive, and have fun... My father took me to smuggle gasoline, food, different house accessories, and of course cigarettes. But that was on some small scale just to survive... But the government and people connected with that made zillions in that time. You don't pay taxes, it's all cash... and people without moral compass had other ways of making even more money. And that money needs to be spent in some restaurants, parties, and singers who are singing national songs are in demand, big one. All in all, it's a circus, but as long as we live we find a way to survive.


Well, I was in two wars and I grew up in a real mess... I guess I didn't understand many things back then, young and crazy, how else to understand the wish to have more to feel more? Now when I have kids it's a different perspective, but like any parent, when things become hard I will try to find a way and I will probably do whatever I need to keep my family safe.

My heartfelt sympathy to the people in your country, for the ugly experience of war, I've not experienced war myself, but the horrible tales of it from older folks who expanded it, is not what I ever look forward to witnessing.

In the time of war, I believe that it's how to stay alive that should be our Paramount concern, not really about a business to do. I also believe that in situations of war, food and health care are provided for citizens, your family can survive on that till things improve, also if you can find a way to leave the country with your family, better. As you're into bitcoin, if you're lucky to still have internet connection and a smart phone in your hand, then the best thing is to continue trading or accumulating bitcoin, to hold. It is decentralized, so when the experience of war is over, you can sale, convert to fiat of your choice and start all over.

There's nothing good about war and even the war lords know about this. I read that after the Nigerian civil war, many people were still persuading Odumegwu Ojukwu, the Biafra veteran war lord to initiate another war. But Ojukwu answered them that if there is war, it is not only human that suffers. Both plants, animals, air, water and even spirits suffer. So there's no need for another war.

Even the soldiers sent for war, many of them go to such mission against their wish. All human needs peaceful coexistence.

Some will see you as a coward but honestly, war is not the best solution to solving conflicts but then we must expect wars. It must not be of weapons and arms, it could be an economic war as we have witnessed recently.

Very few people here, unless they live in a conflict zone, will have any appreciation or useful tips for "survival" during a period of war. War is also not the same, there are all sorts of varieties - two equal peer countries engaged in combat will suffer much more equally than a rebel insurgency trying to overthrow an established government. Business is also dynamic and it's impossible to say what would be good or bad, plus you may not want to be seen as profiteering during these time periods when people are literally dying to defend your freedom - the government might seize any businesses it perceives are too greedy for the war effort. Again, the economic impacts will vary too widely, a country in Africa might have different priorities - just getting water for example - than a country like Ukraine that is still trying to prosper.

Almost the same thing began to be said in Russia, when after two months of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, even without the provision of serious Western weapons to Ukraine, the “second army of the world” had to urgently flee from the central and northern regions of Ukraine in order not to be completely defeated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. After this, Russian propagandists began to say that Ukraine was pretending to be weak and thereby provoked an attack on it by Russia. A very interesting theory.

Any current potential aggressor must understand that if a neighbor is attacked, the international community will unite its efforts to help the victim of aggression. Only in this way can the aggressor be discouraged from starting wars of conquest. Military aggression is always aggression if the attack occurs on foreign territory and there can be no justification here.

Hamas will in any case regret its stupid and brutal attack on Israeli populated areas. In fact, Russia will also do this over time.

Every story has two sides but what we in the media all over the world is one side of it because Gaza people don't even have electricity to worry about other things, still yet to manage to capture the attacks of Israel against the Gaza people via social media. And to be honest Israel seemed to wait for such movement from Hamas so they could attack and destroy Gaza for a very long time.

I do not understand how the concept is to invest in bitcoin to manage your life when there is a war in the country you live in, honestly you are true that when the war occurs then what is definitely done is everyone will prioritize his safety first, even wealth can no longer be valuable When war occurs in your place.

Logically everyone will divert their assets to assets that are easy to liquidate and their value is fairly strong during the war, this might be more logic, unless the place you live in is not a war area, it can be done.
But if you speak clearly and have the opportunity to move to other countries, I think it's better to move to the situation and start a business or work in another country to maintain your life than risking lives, but that is not for people who have a nationalist soul, but There is no harm in you who want to be safe.

Yeah this is basically what war is about, one side attacks civilians, so the other side responds the same way, and basically there are evil people in war and there are innocent people in war, and because of what evil people do from the both sides, innocent people in both sides die. That's just reality of war, do you really think that even in Nazi Germany time, which could be arguably the most clear "yes we need to start war and it's a justified war" situation in history, there was absolutely zero innocent people killed?

I mean that war was as justified as it could ever be, you are attacking a killing machine who murdered everyone on its path, so you had to stop them, and waged war against them, and yet even in that there were innocent people killed by allies. So this is why we need to remember that if it's avoidable, we should avoid war at all costs, unless there is absolutely no other possible choice left, you have to be forced to go into a war, otherwise it's never good.

Any political, military or other organization, before attacking another state, must take into account that there will be a response and there will be a retaliatory military strike. Hamas in this case was located in hospitals, kindergartens, its offices were in civilian multi-story buildings, that is, it is obvious that this organization deliberately hid behind civilians and Hamas leaders did not care deeply about the residents of the Gaza Strip. But Israel has the right to self-defense; in retaliatory military actions, civilians are dying and will always die. If you do not respond to such terrorist attacks, fearing that the civilian population of the attacking side will die, then the terrorists will take this into account and will constantly hide behind civilians. And then what? Let terrorists do what they want and rule the world?

Enlighten us on what the Israeli military should have done to get rid of Hamas terrorist attacks without killing civilians in Gaza?

When there is a war in a country then one cannot think about earning money or saving money because everyone is in Struggle to save their lives. During war either you will be a part of war or if government can control the war through army then I think they should provide another save environment to their citizens. Bitcoin investment is necessary just for living a satisfied life and it has no concerned with war. Although it can be happen that due to war if resources reduces in a country then you can use your bitcoin investment for managing life expenses.
