There’s a lot going on under the radar as we wind up the year 2025, especially with regards to war, the economy and the continued takeover of artificial intelligence to the detriment of that forgotten document, the U.S. Constitution.
Here’s my breakdown of how it’s playing out and likely to continue playing out in 2026.
The nations are preparing for war
TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/
The Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations we see taking place are a deception. They are seeking to give Ukraine a breather, a “Minsk 3” type of deal, if you get what I mean. The goal is not a permanent peace, but a temporary ceasefire that gives Ukraine a chance to regroup, reorganize and rearm.
NATO military committee chairman Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone recently hinted that NATO may need to make an offensive “pre-emptive strike” against Russia. Putin’s response left no room for confusion. He said this will trigger World War III. He said Russia is not looking for war with Europe, but if the Europeans insist on attacking Russia, his forces are ready to make a robust defense of the homeland.
We also see China gearing up. Moving more vessels into position around Taiwan. They also announced they are moving AI-powered robot soldiers into the border area with India.
All of the nations appear to be gearing up … preparing for war.
The U.S. is chief among them, saber rattling against Venezuela and other countries in Latin America. The strikes on SUSPECTED drug boats on the high seas, will now be done on land as well, Trump said. Shoot first, ask questions later.
The message out of Trump’s new Department of War is consistent: We make war in order to be peaceful. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Could it be more Orwellian?
WHY WAR? It all boils down to a fight over resources and who gets to call the shots in the new world order that is quickly developing – the digitized, tokenized, collateralized, transhumanized, depopulated world order.
The economy is slowly collapsing
Debt is rising at an unsustainable pace. Rents are rising. Food prices are rising. Electricity rates are rising. Local property taxes are rising. Taken in totality, this amounts to a war on the middle class.
So far in 2025, 1.17 MILLION JOB CUTS have been announced by corporate America. That’s 54 percent higher than last year. This will continue in 2026.
The debt bubble is getting ready to collapse. They know it. And that’s why they’re going to war. It has happened this way throughout history.
This is what happened in 1930s Germany with a collapse of the German currency and it set the stage for Hitler and World War II. Debt. Crushing debt.
Debt that the lender and the lendee both know can never be paid back. That’s a dangerous point to arrive at. You hear young people taking about it on TikTok.
And it’s not just government and consumers who are swimming in debt. The AI tech companies are financing their expansion of AI with money they don’t have, increasing their borrowing by crazy amounts.
