War Is Coming And The Global Financial Situation Is A Lot Worse Than You May Think<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\"city<\/a>On the surface, things seem pretty quiet in mid-July 2016.\u00a0 The biggest news stories are about the speculation surrounding Donald Trump\u2019s choice of running mate, the stock market in the U.S. keeps setting\u00a0new all-time record highs<\/a>, and the media seems completely obsessed\u00a0with Taylor Swift\u2019s love life<\/a>.\u00a0 But underneath the surface, it is a very different story.\u00a0 As you will see below, the conditions for a \u201cperfect storm\u201d are coming together very rapidly, and the rest of 2016 promises to be much more chaotic than what we have seen so far.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with China.\u00a0 On Tuesday, an international tribunal in the Hague ruled against China\u2019s territorial claims in the South China Sea.\u00a0 The Chinese government announced ahead of time that they do not recognize the jurisdiction of the tribunal, and they have absolutely no intention of abiding by the ruling.\u00a0 In fact, China is becoming even more defiant in the aftermath of this ruling.\u00a0 We aren\u2019t hearing much about it in the U.S. media, but according to international news reports Chinese president Xi Jinping has ordered the People\u2019s Liberation Army \u201cto prepare for combat<\/a>\u201d with the United States if the Obama administration presses China to abandon the islands that they are currently occupying in the South China Sea\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cChinese president Xi Jinping has reportedly ordered the People\u2019s Liberation Army to prepare for combat,\u201d\u00a0reports Arirang.com<\/a>. \u201cU.S.-based Boxun News said Tuesday that the instruction was given in case the United States takes provocative action in the waters once the ruling is made.\u201d<\/p>\n

A U.S. aircraft carrier and fighter jets were already sent to the region in anticipation of the ruling, with the Chinese Navy also carrying out exercises near the disputed Paracel islands.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
