World already in midst of global war.

 POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC WAR UNDERWAY

MAJOR POWERS STILL USING PROXIES FOR MILITARY WAR

We have been hearing warnings about WW3 for some time, possibly so much that many have discounted this reality as just so much political noise. While the major nuclear powers are not yet in direct military conflict, they are in the midst of political, economic and proxy military conflicts for some time now.

The Ukraine/ Russian conflict is the best example, this war has been going on since 2014 and possibly longer. It has been a calculated effort by NATO at the direction of the USA to contain and weaken Russia as a economic, political and military power. It has been decades of pushing the narrative that Russia is to be feared as a threat to western Europe and the United States. While Russia was not an enemy of the United States, some wanted an enemy to solidify political opinion, they have succeeded.

The emergence of China as a global economic powerhouse has resulted in a similar narrative, but so much of the west is dependent on goods imported from China that there is conflict on how far to go with this hostile action against China. Without China's manufactured goods the inflation rate in the west would certainly double or more and create economic hardship in incalculable ways. While western Europe is suffering dramatically by the curtailment of access to Russian energy, a curtailment of China's goods would be devastating to the whole western world.

In the middle east there has been perpetual war since 1991 mostly in an effort to keep the region in chaos and disorganized and to guarantee access to the oil in the region. 

Then there is the political and economic war focused on Georgia, Moldova, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Austria, India, Pakistan and other Central Asian nations in an effort to peel them away from a neutral or  Pro-Russian position. It is ongoing and not diminishing.

While NATO and other alliances support this effort, the United States is the big funder of all these efforts. With over 750 foreign military bases in 80 countries, it has caused the United States to become so overstretched that it has contributed to a debt of over $37 Trillion and growing quickly. Dollars have buying allies and supporters, will they still be allies when the gravy train ends?

The U.S. has in effect wagered its future on winning this global conflict one way or another. The ability to create dollars out of thin air and policies that have forced much of the world to accept these depreciating dollars has been the cornerstone of this whole endeavour. In recent history the dollar was involved in over 80 % of world transactions, it has recently fallen to just 52%. Foreign holders of U.S. debt, competitors and allies have been slowly but steadily been liquidating their U.S. debt instruments and moving to do business in their own currencies. 

While the U.S. can still use sanctions and pollical maneuvering in an attempt to control the world,  it is losing this dollar effort by the policies that are undertaken from inside the country, not from foreign efforts alone. 

The reality that China, Russia and now Iran have formed an economic and military alliance because they all fear that they must unify to survive the threats to their existence, is an indication of the futility of the present U.S. policy. Continuing this policy will lead to economic collapse or nuclear disaster.
