Topic: Economy is so down that only way to save markets stock market also is (Read 76 times)

Printing is taxation. A country can raise funds for guns in the same way they can raise funds for anything. Either by increasing the taxation of income, consuming, property, or by just printing more money which essentially does all three. It is well understandable, though, that not all countries have this option, and those that do suffer economically afterwards.

Alternative for taxation is, of course, borrowing.

What is happening in the world is a series of fundamentals, that speculative markets are obviously affected by panic, every speculative market no matter how full of bots there are, are managed by humans, and it is normal for a human being to feel fear , panic before these acts and the first thing that is done as an infallible option is to protect money, previously when there was no risk of war, they protected themselves with fiat money, investment in the strongest currency, now the trend is towards taking refuge in gold , of course, those who do it in BTC is not bad, it is a very good option, but they do not see it as a refuge of value, although for the covid-19 those who took refuge in btc obtained profits quickly, I think that investors They don't forget it, so there is a likely option that they will also choose BTC as a temporary refuge.

I think most low end tanks that russia uses cost around $1.2 million.

Fighter jets are more expensive costing as much as $100 million each. They also have far higher maintenance and upkeep costs.

One interesting observation of the current ukraine war is russia deploying many old tanks and none of their air force. It appears to be a penny pinching war that Putin is currently waging. Maybe meme authors will illustrate images of Putin searching for lost pennies in the dark. While not great. It would be better than most attempts I've seen to attack russia.

Hypersonic missiles russia launched can also cost approximately $100 million each of which I think they launched only 3.

These being the basics, how can people focus on defense in this era? Most europeans cannot legally own guns to hone their marksmanship in case Putin invades. European nations which failed to develop viable 4th generation aircraft (eurofighter typhoon) are not likely to overturn those negative results within the span of a few short years.

The term "too big to fail" is thrown around often. If the economy tanks there are no protections or insulations which will protect big players from winding up far less wealthy, than they previously were. War does not create wealth. It is moreso a destroyer of it. Material assets, land, infrastructure are all destroyed. With liquidity spent in the destructive process not necessarily being equal to tangible net results produced.

In the event of a war, money is not directed to markets. All money is redirected to the weapons and munitions factories, the shipyards, and the aircraft factories. Wall Street is actually the first thing that's going to be closed in the event of the war (just look at Ukraine stock exchange for example).

And the funds raised for the war are not printed, they are taxed from the people.

It was hard going through your post. I got most of your point but I am left confused.

Do you believe that the elites want the war to happen and spend their time in a safe haven by making a profit on it? or do they want to prevent it and just sell the idea of war?

War is huge for the economy, that's true. It reminds me of Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, it's an anime based on this very idea   There's an AI-driven war, created by the US after a global financial crisis. Since a war can provide the required stimulus to production and employment.

maybe you wrote this post after watching this anime lol

Something bigger then it was covid 19 war is only way to be honest becouse war equipment costs a lot MONEY so you can print a lot money there is no other ways to print money so much as we need to support markets and wall street companies to help investors and traders to stay wealthy and stable becouse even long/shorts options futures system costs a lot money and it takes a lot energy to keep data centers alive 24/7 so it all takes a lot money.
But world elite is smart they dont let happens the war like real its enough when everybody just start buying the defense equipments and getting people ready for war its all ready costly think about ...wherr will the elite who profit frm sales of equipment oil and other expensive things will go if there would be real war....it dont make sense a lot elite guys are residue in south europe french rivera for example so they not gona let real war to touch their places also war will pollute air too much and wealthy people want to breathe fresh air so it will not happeing they let ruin planet nature and air with bigger war.
So instead of real war everybody will start spend on defense it costly and takes money so the fed can start again producing extra mon e y the usa dollars and as long as world is on war stage usa dollar going up becouse ysa will be selling military equioments and defence systems so therr will be huge demand for usd currency.
And also that what i said will solve the problem of shortage of money in the markets derivates and exchangers becouse global defence spendings will create huge demand for printing money even more then it was done before.
Right now we just gona wait when the main invents glibally starting so we DCA assets to be ready when overnight we will see huge green markets up becouse so much money been printed to fund if not war but preperations of war and specially defence equipments
