EXCLUSIVE: Top Forecaster Issues a Chilling War Prediction

Martin Armstrong says the West is baiting Putin, pushing him to strike NATO first so they can justify all-out war.

He calls it engineered chaos.

What he says happens next should terrify every US citizen.

🧵 THREAD Image
We recently had top forecaster and economist Martin Armstrong on the show, who warned that the fall of Ukraine—and Europe as a whole—is imminent. Many European countries, he noted, are already reinstituting drafts.

“They want war,” he said.

Well, this week we saw President Trump make a stunning reversal on the Ukraine-Russia conflict—and Armstrong is back with another warning.

He says NATO is preparing to send 250,000 troops into Russia, and World War III is an absolute certainty. The reason? Collapsing economies—and a looming push to roll out central bank digital currencies. Despite promises to the contrary, it appears the U.S. is quietly moving forward with CBDCs, just like the rest of the world.

Every nation, Armstrong warns, is preparing for what comes after the war.

He joins us now to discuss.
@zeee_media opened the conversation by asking about Trump’s unexpected shift on Ukraine—and Martin Armstrong didn’t hold back. “I’m very disappointed in Trump,” he said. “I think he’s succumbed to the neocons.”

The first major red flag, Armstrong noted, was Trump naming Marco Rubio as Secretary of State—a move his sources described as a “peace offering to the neocons.”

But Armstrong’s warning isn’t about politics. It’s about your money.

“We’re just in this serious debt crisis,” he explained—and that crisis, he warned, is pushing governments toward reckless, authoritarian measures.

He pointed to Europe, where EU chief Ursula von der Leyen proposed seizing unused assets from private citizens to fund war with Russia. Armstrong said it echoes post–World War I Germany, when the government confiscated 10% of people’s savings—triggering hyperinflation, economic ruin, and paving the way for Hitler’s rise.

“If Ursula is going to just take 10% of people's money,” he warned, “it’s the same thing all over again.”

His message was clear: this war isn’t really about Ukraine. It’s about collapsing economies—and global elites using chaos as cover to plunder the public’s wealth.

Armstrong then laid out a grim reality: war isn’t just likely—it’s now essential for Europe’s survival.

“This is why Europe needs war,” he said. “Because if they don't go to war, you're going to have people storming the parliaments with their pitchforks.”

Years of reckless policy, he argued, have gutted the economy. Negative interest rates “strip-mined the pension funds and the banks,” leaving war as the only way out.

“If I was Putin, there is no way I would sign a peace deal,” Armstrong said.

Drafts are ramping up across Europe—so aggressively that one of his German staffers said even a 60-year-old was called to serve.

As for Trump’s 50-day peace ultimatum to Putin? Armstrong was blunt: “I don’t know who he’s listening to. The problem is we started this war, not Putin.” He cited Victoria Nuland and John McCain’s roles in the Maidan uprising. “It was Victoria Nuland who picked the interim government that started the civil war with the Donbas—unelected!”

Meanwhile, Ukraine is crumbling. More than 8 million people have fled, and public outrage toward Zelensky is off the charts.

“If Zelensky was on fire, they wouldn’t urinate on him until he was dead,” Armstrong said. That, he added, is why there won’t be an election—Zelensky knows he’d lose.

“He’s grabbing people off the street. He’s even sent people with Down syndrome to the front line.”

That led to a deeper discussion about the viral White House moment everyone remembers—when Trump publicly humiliated Zelensky, telling him, “You don’t have the cards.” At the time, Trump was confident he could end the war swiftly.

But Armstrong says something happened behind the scenes that changed everything—and he knows exactly what it was.

According to his sources, Boris Johnson scrapped the peace deal and sent Zelensky to the White House to embarrass President Trump. “It’s always Boris,” he said.

Zelensky was ready to sign an agreement in Kiev. But just three days before, Johnson flew in and told him to kill the deal—and instead head to Washington to corner Trump into funding Europe’s war.

Armstrong said he warned U.S. officials ahead of time that Zelensky was coming to provoke Trump and prolong the war. Sure enough, the meeting exploded—and Trump shut him down in a moment “the whole world cheered.”

But now? Trump’s tone has dramatically shifted.

“I don’t know if they have drugged Trump or what,” he said. “He’s definitely not the guy I met back in 2020.”

Once a staunch supporter, Armstrong now says he’s not sure he can back Trump at all.
Maria then cited Armstrong’s recent article, where he revealed that NATO is preparing to deploy 250,000 troops into Ukraine for a war with Russia.

“I’ve been hearing it behind the scenes for quite some time. I think it started with Macron,” he said. Now the push is accelerating—because Ukraine is losing. Badly.

“When Zelensky came to power, he promised peace, and the death toll was 130,000. It’s now approaching 1.5 million,” Armstrong revealed. “They don’t stand a prayer in hell of winning. They just don’t.”

Even his computer model picked it up—something he’s never seen before: Ukraine going completely flatline.

That’s why the West is mobilizing, he explained—arming Ukraine with long-range missiles, restarting drafts, and ignoring every warning from Putin. “They’ve been deliberately crossing every red line he puts down,” Armstrong said. “Why? Because they want him to attack anything in NATO—so they can claim he’s the aggressor.”

That, he said, is how World War III begins. This isn’t accidental. It’s engineered.
Maria asked a chilling question: is the war just an excuse to roll out digital currency?

Armstrong didn’t flinch. “Yes,” he said. “The system is not sustainable.”

Debt buyers are vanishing. Governments are drowning in obligations they can’t repay.

Historically, Armstrong explained, empires collapse the moment they can no longer sell new debt to cover the old. That’s why he believes the so-called “GENIUS Act” is a last-ditch attempt to reset the system—using CBDCs and stablecoins.

And for the crypto fans cheering this on?

“You’re the latest sucker,” he said. “Would you like to buy some swamp land in Florida to go with it?”

“They need to keep selling the debt,” Armstrong warned. “If nobody’s gonna buy the new debt, everything’s coming down.”

To him this war has nothing to do with land or politics.

In the final stretch of the interview, Armstrong delivered a grave warning: his computer model—known for accurately predicting every major war cycle in recent decades—is flashing red.

An “international war panic cycle” is set to erupt in 2026.

“I’ve tried my best to defeat my own computer, but I failed. There’s no stopping this,” he wrote in his latest report.

He pointed to collapsing bond markets and rising long-term interest rates—ominous trends he says mirror past wartime patterns. During WWII, the Fed had to buy bonds to keep rates low. But by the Korean War, they refused—sparking a high-profile showdown with the White House.

“The Federal Reserve said, no, we’re not following the White House,” Armstrong said.

War, he explained, sends interest rates soaring—and wartime bonds often become worthless. “Who wins? You can still buy Confederate bonds on eBay, if you like,” he joked. “They’re worthless!”

Today, the Fed is powerless. “Our computer shows long-term interest rates are going up,” Armstrong said. “The Fed can only control short-term rates.”

“This is all reflecting war,” he added.

He expects global tensions to rise rapidly—starting late July and intensifying through August, September, and October.

As for NATO?

“They want war. NATO has no purpose without war,” he said. “They can only remain relevant by saying, ‘Oh, Putin wants to invade Europe.’” But Armstrong pushed back: “If Putin doesn’t want to invade Europe, then why do we need you?”

He said the West has deliberately crossed every red line Putin set—hoping to bait him into striking NATO first so they can justify all-out war.

In a chilling final warning, Armstrong said China has already chosen a side.

“They will back Russia against Europe,” he explained. “Why? Because if they don’t, you take out Russia—and they’re coming for you.”

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today

#10 - Democrat reveals Jeffrey Epstein received $1.1 BILLION in wire transfers from a SINGLE bank account.

It’s not often you see a Democrat laser-focused on Epstein.

Sen. Ron Wyden dropped the unexpected bomb. He revealed:

“4,725 wire transfers adding up to nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. If you ask me, that is more than 4,000 potential lines of investigation right there. Hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts.”

Let that sink in.

One account, over a billion dollars. And no one seems to know who was sending it or why.

#9 – Johnson & Johnson Lead Regulatory Scientist Admits Company’s Baby Powder Contained Heavy Metals That Caused Cancer

This was uncovered via hidden camera footage from @OKeefeMedia.

Joshua Rys admitted that the company’s baby powder wasn’t dangerous because of the talc itself, but because of toxic heavy metal impurities found in the mined product.

“It’s not the talc itself that gives you the cancer,” Rys said. “It’s the heavy metals that are in it.”

He also revealed the legal maneuver J&J used to shield itself from liability. According to Rys, the company created a shell entity specifically designed to absorb the lawsuits and then go bankrupt, leaving the parent company insulated.

This admission confirms long-standing suspicions about J&J’s legal strategy.
#8 - Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo says mRNA COVID-19 shots are “terrible vaccines” and “not fit for human use.”

“Fortunately, very few people … are putting these mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in their bodies … And they shouldn't be doing it because they are not fit for human use … They are terrible vaccines.”

Big Pharma took a natural part of aging, gave it a name, sold a treatment—and made BILLIONS.

What am I talking about? The condition you know as “osteoporosis.”

It was all built on a lie.

The drugs they push to “fix” osteoporosis? They’re quietly making your bones more brittle—not stronger.

Let that sink in.

This report exposes the fatal flaws in modern medicine’s “treatment” of osteoporosis—and reveals how the diagnosis itself is rigged by design.

🧵 THREADImage
The information in this thread comes from the work of medical researcher @MidwesternDoc.

For all the eye-opening details on the osteoporosis scam, read the full 8000-word report below.

To truly understand modern medicine, you must first see that the industry operates exactly like a sales funnel.

Step 1: Screen everyone.
Step 2: Redefine “normal” so millions are suddenly “sick.”
Step 3: Sell them drugs.
Step 4: Treat the inevitable side effects with more drugs.
Step 5: Repeat.

That’s not healthcare. That’s a really effective business model.Image

This is a TOTAL reset.

America will no longer bow to gloablist health tyranny.

RFK Jr. just fired a warning shot at the W.H.O., flat-out REJECTING the IHR.

No more surrendering U.S. sovereignty to unelected bureaucrats.

Then Kennedy dropped the most chilling truth of all:

“That opens the door to the kind of narrative management and propaganda and censorship that we saw during the Covid pandemic.”

🧵 THREADImage
RFK Jr. just fired a shot across the bow of global health tyranny.

Standing in front of an American flag at HHS, he looked straight into the camera and said what no other official has dared to say:

“We are rejecting the World Health Organization’s amendments to the International Health Regulations. And I want to explain why.”

With that, the United States is walking away from a treaty that would’ve handed an unelected global body the power to dictate our pandemic response...from lockdowns to travel bans to forced medical protocols.

“These regulations establish the legal framework that gives countries rights and responsibilities for managing public health events with global impact,” he explained. “And we’re not handing those rights over to the WHO.”

The message was clear: health emergencies will be managed in America, by Americans...not by bureaucrats in Geneva.
What Kennedy laid out next should alarm every citizen.

“The first reason is national sovereignty,” he said.

“Nations who accept these new regulations are signing over their power in health emergencies to an unelected international organization.”

He didn’t sugarcoat it:

“They could order lockdowns, travel restrictions—whatever measures they see fit.”

And the catch?

It doesn’t even take a confirmed emergency.

“In fact,” Kennedy warned, “it doesn’t even need to declare an emergency. ‘Potential public health risks’ are enough for it to initiate action.”

No vote. No checks. Just sweeping authority to act on what they claim “might” happen.

“If we’re going to give the WHO that much power,” he said, “we need a real public debate. Because if this is a treaty, the U.S. Senate needs to vote on it. That’s how our system works.”

Instead, the Biden administration tried to slide it through quietly.

Kennedy and Trump just blew that plan up.

BREAKING: Karoline Leavitt was just FLOODED with questions about the so-called Epstein “HOAX.”

Reporters didn’t go easy on her.

One asked why the DOJ is still holding the files instead of releasing a redacted version.

Her responses today only raised more eyebrows.

🧵 THREAD Image
Ask Americans how they feel about the handling of the Epstein files, and you’ll hear the same answer from both sides of the aisle: total frustration.

According to a recent poll, just 3% of Americans say they’re satisfied with how the Trump administration has handled it.

Meanwhile, half the country is dissatisfied and believes the administration hasn’t been transparent.Image
Americans are furious because on February 21st, Pam Bondi told the world the Epstein client list was “sitting on [her] desk right now to review,” explaining it was part of a directive ordered by President Trump.

But on July 7, the Trump Justice Department concluded via internal memo that Epstein actually had no client list, didn’t blackmail anyone, and definitely killed himself.

This walking back of earlier claims has unleashed a frenzy.

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today

#10 - @SenJohnKennedy single-handedly destroys NPR CEO who asks for proof that NPR is biased.

This was a glorious takedown.

On CNN, Katherine Maher invited critics to show her a story that’s biased.

Sen. Kennedy dropped the receipts.

He then pointed to a series of headlines with damning proof.

For example, this NPR headline: “Michael Avenatti, a profile of the media-savvy attorney.”

“You know where Michael Avenatti is today? He’s in jail. You know why? He’s a crook,” Kennedy replied.

Next NPR headline: “How racism became a marketing tool for country music.”

“I kid you not. American taxpayers are spending half a billion dollars a year to pay a local station to buy content that says country music is racist,” Kennedy said in disbelief.

Kennedy then pointed to another NPR headline that claimed President Biden’s presidential debate performance didn’t change the election, days before he dropped out of the race.

“If you believe that headline, you believe in the tooth fairy. But that’s what NPR reported with your tax dollars.”

“NPR reported that there is no evidence that biological men have an unfair advantage over biological women in sports. NPR also called America’s interstate highways racist,” Kennedy added.

“I did not know our highways were racist. I thought they were concrete,” Kennedy said, baffled. “But not according to NPR.”

“No person with a brain above a single-celled organism would call these articles fair and balanced,” Kennedy wrote.

“American taxpayers SHOULD NOT have to fund this opinion journalism.”

Sen. Johnson: “Do pediatricians get incentivized with percent vaccination of their (practice)?”

Dr. Brian Hooker: “Yeah, they’re typically incentivized directly by HMOs. HMOs buy and sell vaccines.”

“So vaccines are big business for HMOs.”

“But the incentivization is anywhere from $200 to $600 per fully vaccinated patient as long as a certain percentage of their practice is fully vaccinated.”

“So some pediatricians can make upwards to a million or more a year just in those incentives.”

This was a masterclass.

The Democrat Party has become the party of fury and chaos.

Victor Davis Hanson broke down the three levels of where their rage comes from and pinpointed the three devastating reasons they're so desperate.

But he finished with a BRUTAL unmasking that left them fully EXPOSED for the world to see:

“They're mad, mad, mad. And they should be, because Donald Trump threatens not just to take their power away, but the sources of their power.”

🧵 THREAD
What you are about to read is a TOTAL unmasking of one of America’s largest political parties.

Victor Davis Hanson didn’t bother with polite euphemisms when describing the modern Democratic Party.

He called it out plainly: a movement defined by anger, resentment, and the willingness to justify almost anything in the name of its cause.

Hanson says that this rage is woven through the party’s leadership, its online shock troops, and the street-level activists who turn protest into destruction.

“What are the sources, the causes of Democratic rage?” he asked.

He breaks it down into three clear layers.

At the top, there are the party’s rising stars and elected leaders, who often seem to think that performative outrage is the surest path to power.

“We have Hakeem Jeffries holding a bat as if he's going to club somebody,” Hanson said.

“And then he spoke for no reason for eight hours in the house. That didn't compare with Cory Booker. He did a pseudo filibuster for 25 hours.”

These are examples of how Democratic politicians embrace theatrical fury to score points.

“Almost weekly, there's a video cut by representatives and senators on the Democratic side with the ‘s-h-i-t’ word or the F word,” he says, describing a culture that mistakes vulgarity for authenticity.

And then there’s the hypocrisy that’s impossible to miss.

Bernie Sanders and AOC, Hanson notes, are quick to condemn billionaires and corporate oligarchs while flying to their rallies on private jets...courtesy of the very class they claim to despise.

“And then we have Bernie Sanders and AOC going to these oligarch rallies on private jets, damning the oligarchic class when they are the people who fund the Democratic Party.”

It’s anger sold as moral conviction, even as it depends on the very wealth and power it condemns.
But according to Hanson, the problem doesn’t stop with these polished, microphone-ready politicians.

There’s another layer: the internet mobs who take outrage and make it cruel.

He recalls how online partisans lionized Luigi Mangione, who killed a United Health Care executive....transforming a murderer into a martyr for the cause.

“Then we have the internet mob, and they do everything from canonize and glorify the assassin, Luigi Mangione, who killed the United Health Care Executive,” he said.

And it gets worse.

During the recent Texas floods that killed over 100 people, many of them children, Hanson describes how leftwing social media pundits celebrated their deaths as deserved punishment for failing to believe in climate change.

“To even more grotesquely and ghoulishly....now they're on the internet suggesting that the over 100 people who were killed, many of them children, deserve what they got,” he says.

Truly sickening.

The twisted logic behind those posts?

If you’re from a red state that believes in small government, you deserve no help.

If you didn’t evacuate—even after warnings—it’s your fault. If you’re white and Christian, you had it coming.

He recounts one poster saying exactly that.

“One internet person, Sade Perkins basically said they were White and Christian and they deserve what they got.”

This, Hanson says, is the second layer of Democratic rage: not just public grandstanding, but a dark, gleeful cruelty that flourishes online and gets a free pass.
