This is just my personal estimate of things.
The US is preparing for war; I’m quite certain of that. If nothing else, a fresh level of secrecy along with a significant break from routine operations will tell you that. Resources have been moved in preparation for it. It will not start out as a general mobilization, but a “police action” against some country that isn’t supposed to be able to defend itself very well from our military. I’m guessing it’s Iran. I’m further guessing that there will first be a false-flag event of some kind that will be blamed on Iran.
There is a high probability this will quickly escalate as both Russia and China have recently signed agreements that would tend to protect Iran. They will signal reluctance, but I doubt they’ll wait too long to defend Iran. But because there are so very many options on the table for them, it’s hard to guess just what that defense would look like.
The US is wholly unprepared for a general mobilization. The biggest factor is a simple unwillingness of the people. The propaganda has been failing, and the people are not interested. Further, the people simply cannot do it. If nothing else, the economic support is absent. We are just squeaking by right now, and the US today is nothing like the US that was dragged into WW2. The fundamentals of our current depression are different from the Great Depression of the 1930s.
A significant difference is that the US government back then wasn’t spending that much because leadership was stingy. There were resources, but they weren’t being used. Today, the resources are already depleted. The government has been spending like a drunk, and servicing the dept is starting to consume the discretionary spending flow. We are broke already.
There is a limit to debt. It’s all manipulated and controlled, but there are limits. The amount of funding available across the combined western economies is about to run out. Yes, inflation can shrink the value of that debt, but the value reserve behind any new debt is limited by other factors. It does not rest solely on what the financiers will tolerate. One factor is the limits on the value of the collateral — the US itself. It’s not the price in dollars, but what those dollars represent. It would take books to explain, but the point is that the well is running dry.
What follows that will be somewhat more difficult than our previous Great Depression, but fundamentally different. At some point, the states are highly likely to repudiate the federal debt. That’s when things will get rocking for sure. There is no clear picture of how and when; the states are beginning to manifest tendencies of secession. Any number of tracks are possible, but the resistance by state governments is there and growing, and it wasn’t there before.
The federal government will not be able to declare martial law effectively. It’s not the feds we need to worry about; the biggest threat is the local criminal element. How ready is the law enforcement system where you live? If you are itching for action, keep your eyes open in that direction. Don’t hate the police unless they are ineffective, or would tend to get in the way of home defense.
The whole point is that you should prepare for these things. There is no stopping this train wreck. Pray that you will see what God has provided for you, and trust Him to make things work for His glory. Stay committed to His glory, because you need that more than life itself.
