Summary
Renowned forecaster Martin Armstrong predicts escalating global conflicts and a potential sovereign debt crisis, warning that things are set to intensify from next week into August. He explains his computer models, originally designed for capital flows, have accurately forecast major events like the Long Term Capital Management collapse and even the timing of the Hamas attack, by tracking money movements and indicating that someone always knows in advance. Armstrong believes the current "brushfire" wars, including those in Ukraine and the Middle East, are not connected by a single force but are indicative of broader global instability. He also notes that Iran is attempting to trigger not just an energy crisis but a banking crisis. Regarding the United States, Armstrong suggests that while Donald Trump may seek de-escalation, figures like Netanyahu are pushing for conflict. He recounts being asked to write a peace plan for Putin, which he did, and later received a thank you letter from Trump, highlighting a bypass of traditional diplomatic channels. Armstrong also expresses concern that removing Putin could lead to a more aggressive leadership within Russia. He views Bitcoin as merely a trading vehicle rather than a true store of wealth and anticipates metals will rise until twenty twenty-seven due to geopolitical turmoil and a looming sovereign debt crisis, exacerbated by the Euro's failure to consolidate debt.
