(Article by Martin Armstrong republished from ArmstrongEconomics.com)

A vote for Biden in November is a vote for World War III, and everything we have accomplished with peace will be thrown out the window for a bunch of NEOCONS in cahoots with the Climate Change nut-jobs who are running the White House.

Ukraine will JOIN NATO, Blinken announces, signaling imminent WWIII with Russia

April 05, 2024 -

The reason this is more serious than perhaps anything else that has happened yet between Russia and the West is because much of Ukraine is disputed territory.

By allowing Ukraine to join NATO, the West is basically declaring all of what is currently known as Ukraine to be outside of Russia's control, which crosses ...
