If You Own Gold & Silver, This Russia Move Changes Everything Instantly - Martin Armstrong

0:00 Put the BS aside. It's been Europe that has attempted to conquer Russia six times. Russia has never sought to conquer Europe. Why? Cuz there's nothing there. All right? Europe had to buy all its energy from Russia. All right? They don't have gold reserves. I mean, there's nothing there of any value. By July, Trump may issue 50-year bonds backed by gold. This is the idea to attract more capital from Europe. Switzerland used to be the safe haven in in World War I and II. So was Sweden. Sweden, however, now joined NATO. They lost that. Switzerland confiscated

0:45 assets of Russian individuals. They lost it. So, capital [clears throat] has been fleeing for the safe haven idea to Dubai, some to the United States, and others to Singapore. >> Every story reporting that Ukraine is beating Russia or that Russia is on the verge of total collapse is being manufactured to justify entering a full-scale war. In reality, Europe has historically attempted to conquer Russia six times, whereas Russia has never sought to conquer Europe simply because there is nothing of true economic value left there. Martin Armstrong, a veteran financial forecaster celebrated for tracking global capital flows, points out that European nations have completely depleted their gold reserves

1:32 and are forced to buy all of their primary energy directly from Russia. This structural economic weakness has led Western powers to look desperately for external wealth to fund their socialized systems. Capital is rapidly fleeing traditional Western safe havens for emerging financial hubs. While Switzerland and Sweden were once secure regions during World War I and II, Sweden's decision to join NATO and Switzerland's choice to confiscate the private assets of Russian citizens have destroyed their historical neutrality. Consequently, institutional capital is migrating to Dubai, Singapore, and the United States. Now, we present the clips from Martin Armstrong's interview.

Every story you read, "Oh, Ukraine's beating Russia. Russia's going to collapse. This, that." They need that to justify going to war with Russia. Um they're our enemy. That's they threaten to come into Europe. You know, if Ukraine falls, they'll take all of Europe. Really? A country like that, I mean let's put the BS aside. It's been Europe that has attempted to conquer Russia six times. Russia has never sought to conquer Europe. Why? Cuz there's nothing there. All right? Europe had to buy all

3:03 its energy from Russia. All right? They don't have gold reserves. They I mean, there's nothing there of any value. Even Hitler, he was at at least respectful of the monuments and things of that nature. He didn't bomb Paris cuz he actually thought it was pretty. All right? But he stole all the art and everything else. He was more interested in political power. The reunite uh Europe as the Roman Empire. So did Napoleon. Okay? Whereas that does not has never been an issue with Russia wanting to resurrect the Roman Empire. This is why Europe is also becoming very hostile

3:48 towards America. They've have used us, basically, to fund their defense while they took all their money and put it into socialism. That's what Trump has, you know, complained about. You know, we fund basically Europe and for what? You know, and then on trade, they've have been probably the worst with tariffs. Besides tariffs, the other layer in there, which is far worse, is they put in all kinds of uh security, quality controls, things of this nature. So, you can't sell any um produce in uh in Europe if it's grown with a particular

4:34 fertilizer they ban. They like this sort of thing. In France, you can never sell California champagne. They say champagne can only be champagne that comes from the province of champagne. That's it. So, they have a tremendous amount of restrictions in trade uh to keep it one-sided. Uh and that began, really, you know, with the aftermath of World War I. They put in all kinds of tariffs, things of this nature, because they lost a lot of their business. Europe was actually the number one source for refining sugar. With World War I, then it moved to the Caribbean and never got it back.

5:19 Um you know, and they blow themselves up routinely, uh but then blame everybody else. Um >> [clears throat] >> and here we, you know, for the life of me, I think that they think, you know, a third time's going to be a charm. I don't know. Cuz otherwise, it makes no sense. I mean, I've met with some people in Europe, different administrations and stuff, and they want to believe that um Russia's weak. He just had the head of NATO come out and Root and he said, "If you think you can conquer Russia without the United States, you know, you're delusional." But, this is what they think. Germany's pouring money

6:06 into military to make it the third largest military establishment in the world. They've all been talking about, you know, drafting, building armies. They think they can conquer Russia and get the 75 trillion in natural resource assets that are there. Cuz Russia is the richest country in the world as far as natural resources are concerned in the ground. Um, they've got gold, diamonds, platinum, oil, lumber, you name it. So, to them, if they think they had can get conquer Russia, you've had people even come out and publicly say Russia is too big and needs to be broken up. They get those

6:51 assets and to them that's twice the size of the US national debt. The Roman Empire will rise again to rule the world. This is why Root has come out and says, "You're delusional. You cannot conquer Russia without the United States." But, often, I mean, you're seeing a lot of anti-Americanism throughout Europe. They're just pissed off that Trump, you know, is tired of funding, you know, their wars. They're pissed off that he even talks to Putin. Any European leader that has tried to say that's good, they immediately, you know, try to shut him down. This is a neocon uh, war tactic. You never talk to the enemy.

7:36 Why? Because maybe peace might come out of it. The problem you have here is let's say all the propaganda against Russia is correct. They're weak, all right? >> Western nations are funneling massive sums of money into military expansion with Germany aggressively pouring capital into its defense sector to establish the third largest military infrastructure in the world. This massive buildup is driven by the desire to break up Russia and seize its estimated $75 trillion in untouched natural resource assets which include vast reserves of diamonds, gold, platinum, oil, and timber. This immense wealth represents an amount twice the size of the total United States national debt making it an incredibly lucrative

8:22 target for nations facing bankruptcy. Major institutional fund managers are heavily shifting their capital directly into the Dow pushing it rapidly toward the 50,000 mark. Big money managers prioritize the Dow over speculative tech startups or the Nasdaq because index investing provides safety in numbers. If the market turns downward, an entire sector declines together preserving the manager's professional security. Furthermore, global gold reserves are being actively moved entirely out of Europe into secure vaults within Singapore and the United States to escape impending local asset freezes. If a single bullet is fired in a direct European war, severe capital controls will immediately be put in place locking

9:08 down all liquid assets and leaving citizens completely unable to move their wealth out of the region. Now, let's get back to the interview. >> That's why the Dow suddenly went to 50,000. Um we have to understand is that um the big capital, they go to the Dow. Uh why? They're not going to a major fund manager is not going to invest a lot of money into a into a speculative startup. That's why, you know, Nasdaq's not doing as well as the as the Dow was because if they put money into something like that and lose, they lose their job. If they put money into the Dow and the Dow goes down, well,

9:53 everybody else is going down, so it's okay. It's safety in numbers, I guess. What you see is that there is scuttlebutt also that by July, Trump may issue 50-year bonds backed by gold. And this is the idea to attract more capital from Europe. And you'll you'll see the big money go into that. It's not for the average person, but you know, it it have to understand that capital will always flee from wherever the war is. So, um the Middle East gets into serious conflicts and it gets much worse, then [clears throat] Middle East capital will flee also to

10:40 the US. Uh Switzerland used to be the safe haven in in World War I and II. Sweden, however, now joined NATO. They lost that. Uh Switzerland confiscated assets of Russian individuals. They lost it. So, >> [clears throat] >> capital has been uh fleeing for the safe haven idea uh to Dubai. Um some to the United States and others to Singapore. Uh you probably read about uh a lot of the gold reserves being moved out of Europe to US and Singapore. Uh we have big clients there and they just follow our models. They

11:26 know that if when that first bullet is shot in Europe, they're putting on capital controls. You're not going to be able to get anything out of there. And so you also have to be careful um like when there was the >> [clears throat] >> the attacks in Israel, what happens? Travel shuts down. You couldn't get a plane out. So, just be mindful that you start a war in Europe it may be very difficult for people to get out. Years ago, um when I was in the gold business, this woman came in and [clears throat] it looked like a it you know, a metal mail skirt painted black. Um we we called them they're very rare it's probably most of them melted down by

12:12 now. Uh we called them money skirts. Um the wire was all gold. And a woman would wear that as a skirt painted black and that's how she got her money out of communist Russia. So, they were called money skirts. This is what you have to resort to. Whenever you get this sort of thing and Europe is the [clears throat] other thing Europe is trying to do because uh they are hitting resistance with the digital currency stuff, is they're looking to do a a stable coin to compete with the US supposedly, okay? A stable coins are just a modern version of what Abraham Lincoln did to sell debt to fund the Civil War, they

12:58 created national banks. The banks >> [clears throat] >> could buy US Treasuries and they were then allowed to issue currency backed by the US Treasury bonds. All right. So, cuz it was off the gold standard, stable coins is exactly the same thing. They allow banks to issue a stable coin backed by US Treasuries. Europe is doing the same thing. They want to come out with a stable coin. Hopefully, they can sell to Europe and and Africa, I mean to Asia and Africa. Um backed by individual European debt to fund the war. So, I mean it's just Um sometimes I end up knowing more than

13:45 I really prefer to know. But >> The global financial system is rapidly moving away from traditional physical assets as governments scramble to invent new mechanisms to fund their massive military expenditures. To counter growing public resistance against central bank digital currencies, European regulators are quietly preparing to launch a new sovereign stable coin aimed at competing directly with the United States dollar across Asian and African trade networks. This strategy is a modern adaptation of the banking system created by Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War where national banks were authorized to issue currency backed entirely by federal treasury bonds to fund a massive war effort off the gold standard. Similarly, Europe plans to issue stable

14:32 coins backed entirely by individual country debts to covertly fund their escalating geopolitical conflicts. At the same time, rumors indicate that Donald Trump may issue 50-year gold-backed bonds by July to aggressively draw migrating global capital directly away from Europe and into the American financial system. Because capital always flees away from active war zones, any escalation of conflict in the Middle East will only accelerate the massive migration of wealth straight into United States assets. Throughout history, individuals have resorted to extreme measures to bypass capital controls such as melting gold into black-painted wire skirts to smuggle wealth out of restrictive regimes, a reality that investors must

15:17 consider today as the threat of localized travel bans and asset freezes becomes real. Share your thoughts about this interview in the comment section below. If you found this video helpful, please hit the like button, subscribe to the channel, and ring the bell icon. Thanks for watching.
