‘WWIII has already

e!ectively begun’ – Nouriel
Roubini
According to the renowned
economist, “everything will split in
two”

A new world war is practically underway,

“certainly in Ukraine and cyberspace,”
economist Nouriel Roubini explained.

Last week, the New York University

professor was interviewed by Der Spiegel
and listed some of the world’s most acute
problems.

Recalling a recent event hosted by the

International Monetary Fund, he referred to
historian Niall Ferguson who “said in a
speech there that we would be lucky if we
got an economic crisis like in the 1970s —
and not a war like in the 1940s.”

When speaking about major global threats,

Roubini mentioned the ongoing conflict
between Russia and Ukraine, adding that
Iran and Israel are “on a collision course”
as well.

“I read that the Biden administration

expects China to attack Taiwan sooner
rather than later,” the economist said,
summarizing that “World War III has
already e"ectively begun.”

The rivalry between Washington and

Beijing is driving tension to a large degree,
Roubini noted, adding that the US has
banned the export of certain
semiconductors to China and is pressuring
European nations into cutting trade ties with
the country on national security grounds.
He believes that a breakup of the
globalized world is looming.

“Trade, finance, technology, internet:

Everything will split in two,” he predicted.

It was not clear if non-allied nations would

pick the US side in the confrontation, he
said. “I asked the president of an African
country why he gets 5G technology from
China and not from the West. He told me,
we are a small country, so someone will spy
on us anyway. Then, I might as well take
the Chinese technology, it’s cheaper,” the
economist revealed to Der Spiegel.

The professor is concerned that the political

systems in the US and Europe may not be
able to deal with the problems, leading to a
rise of right-wing governments.

Nouriel Roubini came to prominence for

predicting the financial crisis of 2008-09
and was dubbed ‘Doctor Doom’ by Wall
Street.

Three years ago to be precise, by
USA dropping a biological weapon
throughout the world, attempting
first humanicide in known history,
followed by now a 3-year special
war through media against each
living person on this planet. We are
all equal according to them: we all
need to die. The effect of this
experiment will remain within us
for decades. Not to forget that
each government without
exception (a few that tried were
killed on the spot and replaced)
was a complicit. This last is the one
that is the most traumatizing
actually. 7m

"Split in two". It is happening in the
US. A split between the US Cabal
foreign policy and millions of
Americans who want no part of the
War. Congress has a major
problem, the US public will not
fight for Ukraine or Taiwan. 14 m

Dr Doom has reputation of being
correct on 2008 debacle. That was
never really fixed and since has
been papered over by trillions in
new money created by ZIRP and
QE. That has never been done in
history, so you know that game will
end with crash. The Russians and
Chinese and Brics are getting out in
front of coming disaster and giving
smaller countries a chance to
survive with an alternative to dollar
system which only steals their
sovereignty and resources. 15 m

The WORLD is much more than
NATO & Russia. The rest of the
world will be outside the ambit of
hostilities.
Even if China opens a front with
Taiwan, the US does not have
resources to open two fronts, if
NATO is already engaged with
Russia, And in a confrontation with
Russia, the war will not be
conventional, as Russia cannot
engage conventionally with 30
countries and with its existence at
stake the nuclear doctrine will be
triggered. The ensuring exchange
will neutralize both NATO and
Russia within hours, or at best 2
days. Not days or weeks... as the
nuke strikes will be to inflict
maximum crippling damage.
China will probably move into
Taiwan, even before the mushroom
clouds have settled.. and at that
stage there will be no one to
confront it.
So, yes, the world will be affected
by a NATO-Russia conflict. UK & EU
will be rendered inhabitable, but
the US & Russia are too vast to be
totally wiped out.. and will stagger
back to recovery in 8 to 10 years,
and start picking up the pieces.
But both will be shadows of their
past and China will dominate the
new landscape while the US and
European continent lick the
wounds of their radiation burns.
Asia will rise and the tropics will be
cooler after a nuclear winter of 2-3
years.. the planet will see a lot of
radiation related deaths and
population will decline from 8
billion to about 3.5 to 4 billion.
Australia and NZ would be the
healthiest of places, far removed
from the brunt of wind-borne
radiation, if less than 1000
warheads are used. If the
warheads exceed 1500, then the
entire globe will be contaminated,
barring the poles.
Yes.. the world will be crippled but
it is still not a world war.. for the
world is greater than the sum of
NATO & Russia. 25 m

WWII has never ended, it simply
turned into a covert war. The
Fascists were never uprooted, and
the rest of the world mostly sat on
their hands and waited while the
undercover Fascists went around
the world murdering as many
Socialists and Communists as they
could. The Nazis and Fascists are
starting to come out into the open
now, and they are getting ready to
resume WWII in a continuation of
the hot war. 26 m

the Americans facilitated the

and on V Day Europe, the anglo

stopped fighting in WW2.... it's
interesting that the people of
the west were always led to
believe the Iron Curtain was
built to keep people in the 'bad'

When the global internet is
severed, and it most certainly will
be if the current trajectory is not
positively amended otherwise, we
will be living in a literal,
communication gated community
worldwide, if not a wholesale
collapse of internet viability. What
better way to blind whole
populations to what is occurring
over the horizon of their own
hovels? Americans will become
abject prisoners rendered blind
and deaf not only to the greater
world community, but among
themselves. We will be living in the
80's once again with zero prospect
of returning to our recent normal.

Ukraine doesn't matter that much -
if only the Americans hadn't ignited
the fire of extreme nationalism
there, peace would the law of the
land. Taiwan is the same - had the
Americans left the Chinese deal
with their own issues themselves
'in the family', there would not be a
potential armed conflict there
either. 33 m
