A Hair Breadth Escape from Nuclear WWIII

The week ended on May 30, 2025, interesting news items to look at this week are:

1. A Hair Breadth Escape from Nuclear WWIII: The nuclear doctrine of both US and Russia states that should the countries' nuclear defense infrastructure be attacked, the country will respond with its nuclear arsenal.  At the apex of the command and control of a nuclear defense system is the President who carries on a 24/7 basis the launch codes of  nuclear missiles. So when an attempted assassination was made against Putin in Kursk by Ukraine using a drone swam under the guidance and intelligence of  US led NATO, a nuclear holocaust was very much on the cards.(Fig. 1)

 But the big question is why the West is in such desperation.  A question that readers of this Blog are well aware but perhaps still a bit uncertain as to the timing of the exact event horizon. Allow me to quote from the world’s best Trend Forecaster, Gerald Celente, “When all else fails, they take you to war”. (Fig. 2)

(i) NATO face a total defeat at the Ukraine Proxy War: It is no secret among the Think Tanks in the West a plan to Balkanize Russia and loot her resources began in earnest in public forums as early as 2014. (Fig. 3)

More than 10 years has lapsed and now the best US and Europe can hope for is Russia would agree to a 30 days cease fire as the Kiev regime faces an imminent total collapse. UK, France and Germany are particularly anxious because they have bet the shop and their dream of a greater Europe incorporating Russian colonies (Fig. 4) to outpace US and China as the alpha would be forever shattered.

One of the key consequence of a failure to capture Russian resources (estimated at 75 trillion  Fig. 5)

would be an existential risks to the entire European financial architecture. In a candid warning by ECB  this week, the euro area currently has an “exposure”—that is, claims and liabilities—related to gold of around €1 trillion. I note with interests that the entire gold reserve in the euro area of approximately 11,000 tons has but a current market value of $1.1 trillion. That means virtually all the gold reserves in the euro area has been sold, pledged or derivatively shorted already and any further weakness in confidence would mean a massive run on ECB and European banks to ruins. (Fig. 6)  

Just one week earlier, ECB has also warned that they would push back the implementation of BASEL III similar to US. (Fig. 7).

Please note one of the key ingredient in BASEL III is the “stable funding ratio”, which means if a bank has a claim against them in gold, they are required to have physical gold in their vault, a feat which is impossible to achieve given every ounce of gold a European bank has, there now is speculation that claims of 100 ounces are on the books. 

(ii) US totally frustrated by China: The tech war, the trade war, the smear war, the colour revolutions in Hong Kong and Xinjiang, the space war, the AI war and now the drones and missiles tech war, US has not been able to advance too much against China. The latest twist is cancellation of student visas in a witch behind every rock hunt. (Fig. 8).

So long as US would not address its military and dollar oppression against her own people and other nations, the decline of the US empire is a mathematical certainty. Every maneuver that Trump has come up so far has ended US in a deeper financial hole. DOGE and Musk is gone and sooner or later the rest of the financier backer of the politicians will jump ship like rates. The US Federal Government debt and expense has gone parabolic. (Fig. 9).

At the current trajectory, all tax revenue will be chewed up by interest expense by 3032. (Fig. 10).

And what hare brain scheme does the Administration come up with to deal with the debt problem? Jack the price up on Cryptos by wrapping US Treasuries around stable coins as a new crypto trading currency and use inflated cryptos to pay off foreign creditors. Officially it is called “The GENIUS Act, or Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act”. For the sake of avoiding WWIII, my prayers is that the Americans would listen to Winston Churchill for once. (Fig. 11)

Leviticus 19:33  'And if a stranger dwells with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him. 34  The stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 35  'You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight, or volume. 36  You shall have honest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. 37  'Therefore you shall observe all My statutes and all My judgments, and perform them: I am the LORD.'
