If you think stocks are cratering now, just wait until Iran closes the Straight of Hormuz, sending energy prices skyrocketing globally. Food prices will explode. Businesses will be hit by mass bankruptcies. Russia will receive a windfall of energy profits. Most of Western Europe will be plunged into an economic Dark Ages. And TRILLIONS of dollars in global assets will evaporate as global de-leveraging runs its course. Despite all this, nearly every US lawmaker continues to applaud war criminal Netanyahu who is trying to start a regional war with Iran and Lebanon, then drag the US into the conflict. Our (western) world is run by insane, sociopathic, pathological lunatics. Prepare accordingly. Gold, in other words. Plus shoring up necessary supplies in food, medicine, emergency comms, etc.
