Topic: World Economy and War - page 2. (Read 1479 times)

The US used to have a booming economy during Trump's first term as POTUS, so I'm confident things will go back to normal by 2025. Wars need to come to an end before we can talk about economic recovery. Luckily for us, Trump has a plan to settle things once and for all. He will deal with the Russia-Ukraine crisis first, and then take care of the Middle East.

What can go wrong? After all, countries respect Trump more than Biden. Why do you think Putin started the war with Ukraine? Because he saw America's weakness under Joe Biden. A strongman like Donald Trump will put things back in order again. Besides, Trump has the backing of the richest man in the world (Elon Musk). Money talks, right? It's an uncertain future, so I'd hope for the best.

Your logic comes close to this: Let's ban a doctor who helps a cancer patient fight the disease by banning the doctor from giving the patient medication to fight cancer.
You do not quite assess the situation globally - the “Russian world” that Russia has brought to Moldova (DMR), Georgia (Abkhazia), Ukraine (DNR/LNR) and other countries - it is really a cancerous tumor of global scale, which if not stopped, it will affect other countries and regions. And then, when this tumor gets stronger and sees inactivity of all systems providing immunity of the organism (our whole world), it will turn other countries into cloaca like DNR/LNR. Come to Ukraine and see how reality looks like. And then “apply” what Russia has done in Ukraine to your own country, and answer - you will not need to help in a similar situation either ?

The Biden administration also recently announced its financial aid package to Ukraine before Trump took office in January. But this was blocked by the House of Representatives and the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, said this must be done and decided under the Trump administration. So even if Biden and the Democrats want a full-scale conflict with Russia, I think it won't be easy for them because the president is not the only one who can make all the decisions.

The Biden administration is trying to make things worse before Trump takes office, but I don't think they will succeed. The House and Senate or Congress will not let that happen for the good of the United States.

Every country has a foreign policy that is designed to guide their actions and inactions in the international scene. And by this everything done is geared towards national interest but in few cases it is understood that leaders do not act on national interest but the interest of the leadership in place at the time.

With the different interests that exist among modern nations it is impossible to have a world that is less conflictive with a peaceful international system.  Wars as we know don't just happen, in some cases they are orchestrated by either direct or indirect actors in the conflict for beneficial ends either for power or resources. We can see this playing out in the war between Ukraine and Russia, though a faction of us may not want to admit to the real reason why this war still exists till date, we all know that the beneficiaries of the war do have a hand in that.

Donald Trump has been known as a business man and we should be prepared to face the expansion of the US economy. Very soon, we shall starts seeing people trying to invest their money in the US economy because things are going to be bigger and bigger lifting bans of things that could be very beneficial to the US economy. The war between the Ukraine and Russia is going to end soon and we should be prepared to embrace peace. Biden has been sending huge amounts of money to Ukraine to help them continue fighting while people keep dying in the name of war. I am not a fan of war and we should be ready to embrace peace between countries.

Yes, Russia allegedly defended its national interests by attacking Ukraine and unleashing the largest and bloodiest war in Europe since World War II. According to the US, the Russian army has already lost over 600,000 troops, while Ukraine has lost 400,000. But the real numbers are likely much higher.

But ironically, Putin's Russia is now losing Ukraine, its interests in Syria, and its international prestige, and along with them its economy, and possibly the country as a single state.

In order to continue the war in Ukraine, Russia had previously significantly weakened its military contingent in Syria. But even this did not save it. Now Russia is hastily fleeing Syria as best it can, abandoning expensive military equipment and its soldiers.

Moreover, the victorious march of the Syrian opposition, which today captured the capital Damascus, and Russian troops fled from their two Syrian bases - the Khmeimim airbase and the naval base in Tartus, became possible thanks to Ukraine. Ukraine shared with the Syrian opposition invaluable experience in the use of unmanned systems and thanks to this, the opposition received a great advantage that the enemy did not expect, and Putin did not have the opportunity to provide military assistance to the Assad regime, since he himself was bogged down in the war with Ukraine.

Or to be more precise: some countries that enter the war or refuse to cooperate to end the war are all protecting their national interests. They believe that their national interests are at stake and that without any resistance or deterrence, they will remain passive and even in danger. It can be said that all are for national interests, regional interests and prestige in the international arena.

In addition, there are countries that do not directly participate in the war but still want the war to happen and last because they will benefit when the war happens. Therefore, even if the warring parties want to sit at the negotiating table, they will encounter many difficulties due to external influences.

Politics is more complicated than we think and not everyone is as peace loving as we are.

The dilemma is that some countries are not cooperating as they have their own principles in how they are governing their jurisdiction or they have their own stand in certain decisions. So they won't collaborate with other countries as they seem them with such conflict of principles. For them, waging war is the one way to tackle the situation to show their stand to the world. But with the rampant use of social media in this digital age, people are being informed fast to what is happening around the globe. I believe that's one very good factor of internet. People are not in the dark anymore, and they have the freedom to participate in discussions they feel they are being asked to.

World War III could break out if Putin's Russia continues to try to seize Ukrainian territory and, for this purpose, continues to drag other countries into the war it started, as well as trying to escalate tensions in this war. In addition to drones and other weapons from Iran, North Korea provides Russia with millions of its shells, howitzers, air defense systems, and has reached the point of providing about 12,000 of its soldiers and officers to participate in the war against Ukraine, with the prospect of sending about a hundred thousand more of its soldiers. Analysts have calculated that Kim Jong-un has already given Russia more weapons than all of Europe has given to defend Ukraine. But Ukraine is not only holding on, but is also counterattacking, building up its defense industry, and launching the production of new and effective types of weapons. There is information that Kim Jong-un has already changed his mind about sending his additional troops to the war in Ukraine, since his troops have already suffered losses in this war.

On November 21, Putin used an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time in the world, and on the peaceful city of Dnepr in Ukraine. Therefore, NATO is changing its strategy and has already stated that it will not wait for the first strike to respond, and they are ready to launch a preemptive strike if a real threat from Russia arises for NATO countries.

Biden and his administration, on the contrary, were overly cautious so that the military conflict would not escalate, and Putin regarded this as a manifestation of weakness and a call to action by attacking Ukraine. Permission to use long-range NATO weapons was given in response to the appearance of North Korean soldiers on the front with Ukraine. Trump will most likely act more decisively, and if Putin does not agree to a peaceful settlement of the war mainly on Ukraine's terms, then aid to Ukraine will increase several times, and France and Great Britain are already expressing their readiness to send their troops to Ukraine to help it defend its independence.

If Biden drags the US into a war with Russia before Trump takes office, then it will be hard (if not impossible) to put things back in order. I think this is what Biden and the Democrats want. Recently, the Biden administration authorized Ukraine to use US-based long-range missles. So one way or another, America is being dragged into this mess. And if things spiral out of control, don't expect the world economy to recover anytime soon. It will continue to get worse until the "Elites" establish a New World Order.

Everything's been a disaster ever since the COVID-19 pandemic took the world by storm. We're living in uncertain times. If WW3 happens, then it's bye-bye to everything we've ever cared for.

Yeah, whenever there is a war, the economy goes even worse, everything about war costs money and that is why we should try to avoid it. Even when your ally is at war, you end up spending money and that is why I think we should forget about all of this and there isn't really anything that we need to achieve via war neither.

I have seen a lot of wars even in my age, there has been countless wars in the past, but I have seen a lot in my age as well, and I haven't seen much achieved with it before, none of the wars had a happy ending, so we can say that war doesn't really solve any problems at all. If nobody attacks each other ever, then we are not going to have any problems and the world will be fine, so there is no logical reason for war, ever.

We are entering a new and unstable era of relations between countries. We see Putin in Russia - a scared old man in his final years, lashing out and trying to define his "legacy" which was actually a lot better before he invaded Ukraine. China is a lot richer and more powerful than ever before, yet their form of government has backslid into a dictatorship under Xi Jinping with a lot of the strategy that made them strong getting crushed, which is going to undermine the whole economy in the long run. America is more divided than ever before, yet they somehow manage to stay innovative and wield a lot of power, there are so many competing interests right now that are generating a lot of friction.

The world economy is really declining no doubt but no one should pray for war to happen because that will even lead to more severe economic conditions and loss of innocent lives. In a time of great economic crisis, is a time that world leaders should come together and seek for solutions instead of seeing war as the last option. If war happens now, it may take the world more than decades to recover fully because many country will be unable to stand on their own economy and so many resources will be wasted. War is not good at all because looking at the few countries that are experiencing war right now, we can see the severe sufferings they have exposed themselves into which will take them a lot of years to recover things they have lost during the war and it will take their economy backwards because instead of planning ahead, they will use most of their budget allocations in repairing things they lost to war.

When it comes to wars, the differences between the two parties are minimal. If you think Biden (Democratic party) was bad, then W. Bush (Republican Party) started half a dozen wars. Trump is not going to be any different. All these conflicts were in the making for a long time. For example the Gaza Genocide has been going on for seven decades. The Russian conflict has been going on after WW2.

As for Trump You are missing a lot. Off the top of my head here are some of the wars he started:

• Genocide in Yemen (remember his sword dance with the Saudi dictator? that was the start), something that led to the worse humanitarian crisis in recent time which is only matched by the genocide in Gaza.
• An act of terror (assassination of the Iranian general in 2019) that brought Iran and US to the brink of war and if Iran hadn't delivered such a devastating blow to US military to cripple the decision makers in Washington, it could have led to WW3.
• Tariff wars with China and the beginning of Taiwan nonsense that today has metastasized into possibility of Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
• Starting the Abraham's accord nonsense with Zionist terrorists that would have meant antihalation of every last Palestinian if succeeded, something that forced Palestinians in the open air prison called Gaza to plan a strike first, something we saw on October 7 last year.
• His attempts to remain in power by starting a nuclear war with China or Russia in the last months of his presidency after he lost the election. Something that was stopped by the chairman of joint chief of staff.
• His incitement of violence after he lost the election that led to many Americans dying, an attempt that was later known as Trump's "Reichstag Moment".

He also continued all the ongoing wars the US regime had started, like the ones in Africa, the ones in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, ... regardless of the fact that he had promised to end them back in 2016 as well.

Trump is a radical person with delusions of grandeur. For example he thinks he can pick up the phone and order Putin to end the war and he will get scared and obeys just because Donald said so!
He also has the delusion that United States is still powerful, which is the worst part of it all. He got a taste of that weakness back in 2020, the next time may not be as easy for anyone...

The war situation between Russia and Ukraine has created a terrible situation in the world today, poor countries are constantly struggling with their financial crisis and people are living in hunger. The history of this war has passed almost 1000 days today. I think the end of the war is very important to bring the world situation back to normal. Many people think that Trump's victory may end this war, but considering the situation in the United States, it seems that the end of the war by Trump is quite doubtful. The main reason for the war is that Russia claims to be fighting against the "Nazi" regime in Ukraine, which Ukraine and the West consider an invasion that is part of Russia's imperialist stance.. Ukraine is exerting its power and is being aggressive by deploying heavy troops, the Ukrainian president is calling on world leaders to support them and resist Russia. Considering the overall situation, we see that the violence of the war is increasing day by day, and ordinary people like us will not have any way to survive. So we should invest a part of our daily income to survive in this situation.

The Ukraine-Russia war was full-blown under Joe Biden's presidency, but I don't think the war will last as long after Donald Trump's presidency. In the past, during Donald Trump's presidency, there was not much war, so it is expected that during the second term of Donald Trump's presidency, the level of various wars and arms supply will decrease to some extent.

I also agree with you that Trump may be able to control the war to some extent, but I am not sure if he will be able to fully protect the promise he made to stop the war. The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has already passed 1000 days and is still going on fiercely. NATO is still providing their weapons to Ukraine and they are continuing their efforts to weaken Russia and are launching missile attacks inside Russia. However, the reality is going in a different direction. With the US election and Trump taking power, both sides are hoping for a ceasefire and it is expected that effective progress may be seen after January.

On the other hand, although the war in the Middle East has subsided somewhat, Israel continues to bomb Palestine constantly and it seems that they are trying their best to please the US. The US is trying its best to put Israel in a strong position in the region. I also think that there may be some divine help for Trump because there were several attempts to assassinate him and many attempts to defeat him in the election, yet he won by a huge vote.

Something that really upset me was Biden's statements about giving total support to Ukraine so that they could attack Russia with their weapons, which they had full support for This seems to me to be what they want, a third world war, something very low on the part of Biden and the Democrats who support him, and with only 2 months to go, it doesn't seem fair to me that these demons are going to do something so cruel, so low and so deplorable. They are bad losers.

I just hope that this doesn't prosper, because when this war is over, things in the Middle East will get worse.

Exactly. Everything was "reds and roses" during Trump's first term as POTUS. The nightmare started once Biden took office in 2021. All because the US showed signs of weakness under his leadership. Russia saw this and decided to seize the opportunity by going to war against Ukraine. Same as the Middle East. If we want economic prosperity, wars need to come down to a halt. And what better way to achieve it than showing "peace through strength"?.

The US under Trump's leadership can instill fear among countries, making them think twice before doing their next move. I'm certain the wars between Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas-Hezbollah-Iran will end during a second Trump presidency. A brighter future is much closer than we've thought. If Trump succeeds, the US will position itself again as the world's leading superpower. It will regain strength like never before. But if he fails, then the US (and the whole world) will face their demise. We all want things to go back to normal, right?

I just hope it will not escalate too much until Trump starts his presidency officially.
It seems that weapons producers applied pressure to current president to escalate conflict as much as he can until Trump start his presidency.
