Topic: World Economy and War (Read 1600 times)

The corruption in some of this countries is just out of this world the leaders of some of this are seriously bent on taking development and far away from the people they are ruling. The leaders are just after themselves and family forgetting the essential duties they are supposed to be carrying out
I think the way out the  this economic challenge is first changing the focus of the leaders to know that the primary role is the welfare of their citizens and also putting direct structures that will reach out to the citizens without too much of procedures otherwise this problems will keep recycling

That's the hard truth. Innocent people pay the price with these unnecessary wars. The ones who benefit the most are none other than governments and oligarchs. It's in the US' best interests to keep the wars between Russia-Ukraine and the Middle East going. This will disrupt global supply chains, effectively making items more expensive than usual (inflation). Governments (particularly the US) will be able to collect more taxes, while the rich keep filling their pockets with money.

An end to the aforementioned conflicts would mean lower demand for essential goods (which means less money for both corporations and governments alike). And that's not going to happen anytime soon (although I believe at some point, things will settle). I'm yet to see if Trump will be able to fix this mess. I know there was peace during his first term as POTUS. But those times were different. If Trump fails to bring peace by 2025, the situation will only get worse. The future is unpredictable, so let's hope for the best.

So what if the Russian Federation has a large amount of natural resources? After all, they still need to be extracted from the ground and sent for processing? And how can this be done if foreign equipment is not supplied to the country? Our own capacities are clearly not enough and it will only get worse, since the equipment is aging and needs to be replaced, repaired. Where can we get all this? Yes, of course, some measures are being taken in this direction, but this is so little that it is as if it does not exist. Therefore, I would begin to prepare for a sad scenario and even for the worst. Not a single state has yet managed to stay in the same course, which waged a war. Moreover, such a large-scale and resource-consuming one.

I absolutely agree with you on some of this !
But I would add that the U.S. just ... smarter and more PRAGMATIC than others ! “You started a war ? No problem - we will choose one side and make money on you all”. But that is not synonymous with “US starts wars” ....  Wars are started by the most idiotic rulers or regimes. The smarter ones make money from it....
It sounds cynical - but why not make money if others create a reason to do so?!

Unlike you I have never taken any sides in that conflict but because you never liked my statements and analysis of that conflict (despite being proven right after time passed) you always like to brand me as a supporter of one side because it makes it easier for you to reject my logic without having to counter it with any kind of logic.

Unlike you, I also don't have a rhetoric nor do I have any kind of double standard. I analyze everything based on facts not what Kremlin, Washington or Kiev say. The facts are that those who are in control of Syria today are terrorists, globally designated terrorists as well. Many of them are old members of al-Qaeda and ISIL and are followers of terrorists like Bin Laden.

He didn't "leave" al-Qaeda and ISIS, he branched out to operate under a different name because the parent organizations were globally recognized as a terrorist groups. He praised the head of al-Qaeda and is a follower of the same radical ideology.

There is also no statute of limitations for terrorism and terrorist organizations. One can not just stop being a terrorist overnight after having carried out so many terrorist attacks and having killed so many innocent people!

Not to mention that these terrorists have already executed thousands of innocent people in Syria just because of their religion. Meaning this terrorist organization has not even changed.

P.S. You should seriously stop supporting al-Qaeda and ISIS just because the Zionist Zelensky is supporting them.

You should already think about changing your rhetoric regarding the "terrorists" who overthrew the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, following the example of Russia, whose terrorist war in Ukraine you defend. Now the Kremlin no longer calls the rebels in Syria terrorists, as before, but quite respectable potential partners with whom Russia can do business.

In an effort to preserve his naval and air force bases in Syria at all costs, Putin will kiss anyone's ass. After all, the Syrian bases were the main support of Russia's military forces in the Mediterranean and opened the way to influence African countries. That is why Russia supported Assad and, with the help of its military aircraft, carpet bombed peaceful Syrian cities. And Bashar al-Assad tortured and killed hundreds of thousands of Syrian citizens in his numerous prisons, and several mass graves have already been found with at least one hundred thousand victims of the Assad regime in each.

No less important interests of Russia in Syria were to prevent the construction of a gas pipeline from Qatar to European countries, because this gas would be much cheaper than Russian gas, and therefore Russian gas will soon be of no use to anyone.

Al-Julani was indeed once a member of Al-Qaeda, but at one time he left this organization, because he did not agree with their policies. Now the new Syrian government is proclaiming radical changes in order to protect the rights of its citizens and establish normal relations with civilized states. Therefore, the United States has already withdrawn the reward for Al-Julani's capture.

Sounds a bit cynical, of course, but that's the way it is.
But there are nuances that you need to be aware of in order to get the full picture. We must realize that there are countries that are not directly involved in the war, but know how to benefit from the situation. Yes, what they are now investing in Ukraine, saving it from the brown plague of Rashism is a commitment and some investments or an attempt to secure a place in projects that will be implemented in Ukraine after the destruction of Rashism. And this is logical, because many countries have taken on a very difficult task, which is very costly for them, and of course, they plan to compensate for these costs.

The possibility of an end/beginning to wars around the world is compounded by the possibility of renewed unrest such as the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. This is the fall of another muslim like saddam  and gaddafi dictator from the world and the liberation of Syria by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).However it is likely to create another conflict between powerful countries such as the decline of Iran power and the rise of Turkey's dominance. An opportunity for Israel to further increase its power in the Middle East, and they have already completely occupied the Golan Heights and entered Syria. Increased competition between the United States, Iran and Russia to maintain their dominance among the world's oil-rich countries. The backdrop for another war in the world is being created based on oil and gas resources.

War does have a negative impact on all countries because it can kill the economic growth sector and for countries that are fighting may experience a fairly severe food crisis and will cause scarcity for each item available. In this condition there is actually a strong country that will feel that it will benefit because they might use a country that is fighting to export weapons and they will continue to strive to influence.

We do not expect war to occur because the influence is very large for the people in it and even the victims are the people because they have to bear the suffering of the effects of the war carried out by the country where they live.

You have said it all, and if war did not stop anytime soon, the world (innocent civilians) will suffer for it. The problem is that the governments are bad/corrupted and even the little things that's supposed to reach out to the civilians are blocked by a bad governance. The rich people only take care of their self and their families both their properties and business while the poor people gets poorer everyday. If Iran and Israel fights each other the price of oil will increase and things will be cost to the extent that both the average eaner can't afford to pay for their electricity bills (not talking about the poor).

The correct term is terrorist group not opposition.

Those who attacked Syria and are now in control of the country are former members of al-Qaeda and ISIS mainly fighting as part of a globally designated terrorist organization named Tahrir-al-Sham which is the rebranded terrorist organization named Jibhat-al-Nusrat.

The leader of the terrorists known as al-Golani is a well known terrorist who was a high ranking member of ISIS and al-Qaeda. He is also in all terrorist lists including the United States and United Nation's.

So I wouldn't celebrate it if I were you just because Russia was on the other side of it. You'll look like a terrorist/al-Qaeda sympathizer. Have you forgotten 9/11 terrorist attack in the USA and elsewhere like London bombings?
The Ukrainian regime is already openly supporting terrorists, but you should steer clear of it...

For example, for Russia, 2025 will most likely be the hardest year in the last 2 decades. Economists who study and observe the situation very closely are discussing and warning about the collapse of the country's economy. If it is already becoming obvious that life is getting worse with each new day, then this is far from the limit of the fall into the abyss, the exit from which is not expected for many years. Why do I also hold this opinion? The head of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation wanted to resign, but the dictator will not let her go. Therefore, she knows very well that the situation is stalemate and wanted to escape, but it did not work out. This is a serious reason to think.

Thanks to war in Europe, the USA was able to become the global superpower. The USA benefits a lot when others have war and since the USA is far from the rest of the world, it's usually other continents that have war between each other.
I can't agree when you say that the war is bad for economy and business. From one side, it appears bad but on the other hand, war is what drives us and motivates us to develop. When do you fix and improve the code? When someone finds a bug. War is like that, we try to create better building because of wars, we tried to create new medicines like stimulants, steroids and so on to have an advantage during the war. After the war, these medicines and achievements improved the quality of life. War is a huge accelerator of our development. I know that it sounds brutal, I hate wars but it's reality. Since the Ukraine is bombed now, there should be tons of new jobs in Ukraine and Russia once this war ends. They'll build a better cities in bombed places.

USA government is taking advantage of War because they always try to sell their weapons on that moment and they make their economy strong. But the country which will buy the weapons that country will be in disaster. Many countries of the World are facing same kind of situation. Now USA is providing the weapons to the Israel who is spreading cruelty but that USA government has no emotions and they only want to earn Dollars.World economy will be more stronger of there will be import and export system but now the time is of War and War always cause destruction and big stats enjoy that war.

I'd like to add a little.... Trump tried to help Ukraine, to reduce risks, knowing russia's plans. In 2020-2021, at the behest of Trump (yes, and then Biden), a significant amount of weapons (albeit light) were delivered to stop Russian terrorist aggression, and it was thanks to Javelins and TOWs that Russian terrorist forces were defeated and shamefully fled Kiev and Kiev region and other areas of Ukraine without fulfilling the Russian underfuhrer's morbid fantasy of “Kiev in 3 days”.
And what I agree with - Trump doesn't like war, but you have to be honest, not because he is for peace, but because war is not a good time for the economy and business. Yes, now for Trump, peace is important, because he has a goal - to return the U.S. to its former strength, and the U.S. has a huge financial burden from the war, realizing part of its obligations under the Budapest Memorandum

US President Trump is a person who cares about the economy and also business along with the development of technology so it is possible that what he said during his campaign will come true at the right time including stopping the war because he also knows that war is a very bad thing for human life in general. And for developed countries, they will also feel the impact if the war continues to spread and never stops because developed countries also need to market their products to developing countries so that the impact that can be felt in terms of the economy can also be very clear if the war never stops until now.

Every country in the world today is suffering directly and indirectly due to war. War means unrest among the common people. War has a negative impact on the outside world along with the economic recession of its own country. It has a very bad impact on the economic condition of all countries except developed countries. However, if the developed countries of the world want to, they can mediate between two conflicting countries and stop the war or ceasefire. One of the election promises of US President Trump was to stop the war. Now it is time to see how much he can keep his promise. If the war is not stopped, the frustration and anxiety among the people will increase and it will take a serious shape.

Yeah it’s a horrible thing, war that is. I was actually just speaking with a client last week about war and the effect it had on on the economy and the stock market. It seems that we can make things work during most wars, unless of course your country is the one in the war.

Regardless I wish for the best and most swift finish when it comes to war anywhere on earth. It’s never the answer.

War is a very expensive business and I can assure you that if some countries goes into war today, there is always one country that is kaki huge amount of profits from the weapons they sell but of course they wouldn't say they are making money from the sell of guns. This is what US and Saudi Arabia did, they supply guns and weapons to them and in return they supply them with large volume of crude oil and all these weapons are kept for purposes.

The only challenge about war is that there are people who lose alot than the people that benefit from war, war isn't a good thing to even start, many countries will take many years before they come back into form, it will take alot of economy running and constant borrowing from other countries with high interest rates, it's possible there will be high rate of sickness if there is exposure to any bad chemicals. There are many things war can do to a country and can never make them be the same again.

I think the opposite,  if Trump had been the president of the United States for the past 4 years, there would have been no war. During his first term, he presented himself as a president who did not like war, and the most notable evidence was his historic handshake with Chairman Kim Jong-un on North Korean soil .  A country that is considered hostile to the United States . Moreover , it would be difficult for war to happen under his tenure because his tough policies would extinguish Russia and Ukraine's intentions for war in the first place .

I don't think the Biden administration is weak and Russia has taken advantage of that to become more aggressive ,  I think the Biden administration wants war to happen because there are too many benefits for the United States when war happens .

Biden has just over a month left in the White House, but he is pushing to increase aid to Ukraine and allow them to attack Russian territory to make the war worse . This alone is enough to prove that he wants to continue this war and wants it to get worse .
