Footloose investors shift production from old Europe to Asia reborn
War is when the elite points at an enemy and demands your money or your life
Stick to the end for light relief

We'll get war, it is only a question of where and which flavour.
If Joe Biden had run for re-election and won, it would have been an ice cream bombe; if the next president is Kamala Harris, it will be topped with the flaming joy of a cackling sparkler; and as for Donald Trump, well the jury is out. Maybe we'll frying tonight.
If you're in Europe just don't try to use gas, because we've cut off the supply from Russia.
And why are the European states in particular so eager for war?
If the European single market and currency survives, it will be by expanding into new states, not so much for lebensraum as for resources. As such expansion goes hand-in-hand with NATO, it will perpetuate conflict with Russia.
If Europe's internal crisis deepens (see below) then it may seek war to get off the hook; to be rid of welfare and pension obligations, perhaps to default on its debt. We're in a Great Reset, after all.
It comes back to money. The monetary system creaking under credit; the Medicare and Social Security systems will become insolvent over the coming decade; and if that's not shocking enough, it is possible that countries have been set up to fail.
We won't go into the woo about whether the British ever relinquished control of the American colonies. Others are more knowledgeable than me.
There is evidence, however, that the European monetary system was set up in such a way that the bankers knew it would fail, and intended such.
Green war
The West is pursuing twin policies of war and Green energy, which currently is leading to a crash diet of degrowth.
Is this self-denial temporary, just to spite Russia; or is it a permanent sea change, in which the future of industrial production shifts from the Atlantic to the Pacific?
The owner investors are footloose, corporations exist outside and above the nation state; the lender no longer lives above his shop. If the productive assets are in Asia reborn, the beneficiary can live in old Europe.
He no longer needs the European work force, beyond a few technocrats and menial workers.
Here is the answer to the paradox of environmentalist Greens being Europe's leading warmongers: shut down oil and gas.
It explains why the only industry they'll subsidy is warmaking, like Germany's Rheinmetall: weapons are good for sustainability if you plan to de-industrialise a continent.
Sadly the malfeasance does not end there. Wealth redistribution on a massive scale does not happen by accident: "make it happen on purpose" (MIHOP).
And so, with the help of some great and open minds, we shall weigh probability.

We have to start in the present and work back.
