Welcome to Extreme Investor Network, where we provide unique insights and analysis on all things economics. Today, we’re diving into a hot topic – the potential for a world war against an “axis of upheaval” in the near future.
According to General Sir Roly Walker, Britain believes that the next world war could begin within the next three years. The warning comes amidst fears that Russian President Vladimir Putin will seek revenge against Western powers who supported Ukraine. Additionally, there are concerns that China, North Korea, and Iran may form an alliance against the West by 2027-2028.
Sir Walker highlighted the unpredictability of the situation, stating, “The point here is when you think they [the Russians] are down, they will come roaring back to get their vengeance.” This aligns with our own computer models, which have long predicted a rise in international and domestic conflicts by the late 2020s. In fact, our UK array on the 10-year shows higher volatility heading into 2025.
During a recent London seminar, it was emphasized that as tensions rise, interest rates are likely to follow suit. In times of war, interest rates typically increase, impacting currencies like the British pound. The confidence factor plays a significant role, with predictions that the pound could eventually fall to 80 cents due to capital outflows and anticipations of war.
Looking at the global perspective, the potential conflict extends beyond just the Western powers. Taiwan’s existence as a nation may be at risk by 2028, with ripple effects felt across the globe. Sir Walker noted that problems in one area often trigger reactions elsewhere, emphasizing the interconnected nature of global events.
As nations ramp up military spending and preparations, the British army is gearing up to face the new formation of axis powers by 2027. Sir Walker has stressed the need for the UK to rebuild its troops and strength to be adequately prepared for what lies ahead. The cycle of war is approaching once again, and all signs point to a looming conflict.
