Mapping The Surge In World Conflict Intensity

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The World is changing and the balance of power with it. The traditional post Cold-war unipolar US dominance is being increasingly tested. As BBVA notes in the following charts, World Conflict Intensity is on the rise (and has been for over a decade) as the world's balance of power adapts to the new economic shift. Social, political and economic systems are becoming increasingly interconnected; and new actors will arise and will start to make new demands.

 

The economic balance of the world is shifting...

 

Global Conflict Intensity is hotting up...

 

And The World Conflict Map shows where...

 

In Detail here...

This "center of gravity" applied to GDP is crap. Asia is already the economic engine. This is basically a struggle to see who gets to feed the Asian tiger with raw materials in the 21st century.

Reading that chart as an UP ramp is not convincing.

<--- Due to OECD bailing out banksters instead of military spending

<--- Due to Obozo getting the peace prize. 

 

Fall in world conflicts since 2008. Why?

Haha, feeding the asian tiger.. that is priceless. Asia is a fucking joke. Their economic engine is building ghost cities. Their population for the most part does not spend money. They save it. They only make about $7 a day there einstein. Most of them are dirt poor and have zero trust for the communist regime. The only engine they have is the American consumer and many of us are wising up to the non-stop credit expansion consumer debt trap. So.....poof. there goes your asain tiger. They have been trting to turnbtheir population into American consumer types, but no go. They are collapsing under the weight of urban expansion that has been devloped by government owned businesses and leveraged by their phony currency.  All of se asia has collapsed as the phony chinese dynasty has ran out of steam. Companies cannot go there without getting into bed with the commies, and when you do go there you cant make any.money andnif you do its worth 1/7th of the effort when you bring it back home.  Sounds like a real superpower.  Just an fyi, its all a ruse. China is going the way of russia.  The us will be the world super power for quite sometime. The only reason you are seeing these communist countries even make headlines is because we have a pussy community community organizer in the oval office. That is done in 2 years. Once we gat a real man in there to slap the commie idiots around, all will settle. He who has the baddest military wins. Even with ofaggot, we still carry a big hammer.  Once the chinks and ruskies see we have somone in the whitehouse who likes to build ships, nukes and fighter jets again, and we start rebuilding the military industrial complex, no more asian tiger. Besides, they are kind of pansy gay if you ask me.  Fuck china.

Looking at the map I'm guessing all the Banskter bunkers must be in Greenland.

Most have lairs in Icelandic volcanoes like good megalomaniacs.

Was surprised to see activity in New Zealand, guess those pesky orcs just won't go away.

Give me three points on the map

 

Any three points

 

And from them, I can make a triangle.

 

Thus proving that the Trilateral Commission is really running the show.

"All these scenarios, however, could also make neocons even more anxious to impose their lunatic plans to provoke a general conflict with Russia as the only alternative against the dramatic shift of the global geopolitical balance, unless we see a fast creation of a corresponding political power in the US inspired by the European Left."

Pretty good. The NWO has kept conflict low for 30 years if you omit the 2 million dead mid easterners and the attack on 911 and so on.

In the meantime... the US keeps flying with its cojones (testicles) out, to taunt Russia right on their doorstep:

--- Excerpts form RT.news article: http://rt.com/news/215047-pentagon-confrims-nato-buildup/

"The Pentagon has confirmed the military buildup along Russia’s borders to ensure long-term “peace and stability” in the region. Earlier Moscow accused NATO of a sharp increase in air activity and intelligence flights in the border zone."

US Operation Atlantic Resolve comprises all US efforts to support their NATO allies and partners in Europe, which translates to persistent presence of land forces in Poland and the Baltic region as well as holding naval drills in the Black Sea.

The Russian general also warned of a growing concern of NATO ships in the Black Sea.

“What [Russia’s military doctrine] says is that the security risks for Russia, among other things, are NATO expansion to the East and the movement of military infrastructure of NATO closer to the Russian borders – not NATO itself, but its militarized movement to the East is considered by the Russian military doctrine as a security risk and threat for Russia,” he said.

My point is... Russia keeps huffing and puffing, but DOES jack sh*t. Seems that they've been "gentrified", compared to their Soviet predecessors, who would simply have rolled 10,000 tanks and 100,000 troops, shut down Ukraine and made a Regime Change. And then told the US to "Come one over, you faggots!" The USSR had balls. Russia does not.

As much as I'm rootin for Putin, I'm beginning to have my doubts. Maybe... he really is China's bitch now, and the US and EU know that China has no taste, balls or experience for wars beyond its own borders and will therefore NOT come to Russia's aid. What a viper's den! Putin probably would act if he had China in his corner, but he doesn't, so he can't and won't. Instead, he has to play the Procedure Game. What a shame.

Ooh, more charts and graphs.  Must be true.   I have to tell you, I really get a kick out of most of the idiots who post comments on this website. Charts and graphs, charts and graphs, new world order this and America sucks that. If I had to guess, most of your are full retard. You have to be the most gullible idiots on the web. Dont get me wrong, there are some smart people on here who really know what they are talking about, but they are the minority.  I sit among teams of engineers from the best schools on the planet and they can make charts and graphs and assumptions that make most of you guys look like bigger ametuers than you already are. But what I consistently find is that with a little push back, many of their assumptions crumble. It is through that lens that I look at everything and especially the "gurus" of the money and economics world. If any of them knew shit about anything, they would not be writing stories and "sharing" their secrets with us fortunate folks. Sorry people, they, and most of you are full of shit. You are not shorting anything, you are not long much and you have no clue about the world and human nature.  

Now, back to the chart, uh....the world has been in turmoil since the beginning of mankind. Not much new there. You cannot chart human behavior and then forecast it based on a breakout from a 200 day ma. You rubes are foiled by your own stupidity. Looking at charts and graphs and predicting tops and bottoms is pointless if you dont know shit. The big money folks can watch you charts and know your play in advance because you all operate on the same guidelines.  At best, there are no experts and sometimes a few people get lucky on a guess.  America is no going anywhere any time soon.  We have the largest armed civilian force on the planet in excess of 200 million weapons. Our govt can get away with a great deal and we put up with a lot, but when we start to simmer, they start to listen. Well, we are starting to simmer.....and they are trying to undo the 2nd amendment. No gonna work.

And as for you America hhaters who post on here, you have obviously never been in the streets of Colombia or Johannesburg. You have no clue what a real shithole is. To see children walking around with no clothes on, shelters without doors or cover from the rain, no access to food or water,etc.  And that is not America's fault. Its the fault of their corrupt govts. So, turn off your liberal homo bullshit and get your head out of your asses.  

Anyhow, fuck all you guys. I will keep posting here to make fun of you. By the way, keep making fun of rednecks.  If this thing goes down, it will be the working class folks who will rebuild it all. You will recognize them, they will have housing and food because they produce something..........while most of you will be trying to sell.....charts.  Now who are the rubes.

I can tell you haven't read ZH much have you Shunn.  It probably only takes your great intelligence mere seconds to decide it's all garbage and shunn us.  I'm glad you work with brainless engineers.  I am sure they need you to point out their faults.  It must be very aggravating for you to have to live in a world where you have no one to match your sharp wits.  How lonely it must be for you.
