Hello Aluxers! Do you know what happens to the economy of a country when it goes to war? Have a look at our premium courses: courses.alux.com GOAL Mastery: www.alux.com/goals The Future of WAR: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L7PFyX12qbE.html]
War actually is opportunity to get rich if you own business. For country, USA really got rich through both world wars World war 2 actually helped US out of great depression by government deficit spending/increased money supply.
Sun Tzu said that the good general knows the consequences prolonged war has on countries, and therefore knows his responsibility is to be victorious as quickly as possible.
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn which I myself took advantage of. I made my first million from going diverse, mainly ETFs(stocks, bonds etc), bitcoin, and gold. Investing in any of these should be in everyones mind.
With the current problem around the world today I think it's best everyone invest more in digital asset than Saving in banks and real estate. Just my thoughts
@@alexgorham7464 True, imagine what will happen to the banks and houses in Ukraine due to the bomb blast from Russia, It's better to keep money digital no one knows tomorrow
@@ulysseslargay1933 Speaking of digital assets do you mean bitcoin?! I don't think investing in bitcoin now is a good idea, i'm currently running on huge loss the market is crashing
@@velentevictor9435 this is more reason you should invest with an expert, even with the fall in price I make good profits weekly from my investment in bitcoin. Last week I got a profit of $56,000
Nice one, you genuinely are trying to show how dire things of the countries and it's citizens. Economically and other aspects. At this time the future doesn't look good. First thing. About solving a problem is to acknowledge it. It's doesn't look like the media wants to do , I hope your channel expand and bring awareness and opportunity to people. ❤️
When it comes to the world of investing,most people don't know where to start.fortunately,great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance
After watching so many RU-vid tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses until Ms Martha started managing my investment now, I make $6,800 weekly. God bless Ms Freddie martha . She has been a blessing to me and my family.
Great video on the cost of war and its place in the current world order. However, it wasn’t James Brown who wrote and sung the song “ WAR.” It was performed by Edwin Star and written by Norman Whitfield and done under the Motown Label, Berry Gordy President.
In the movie, Third Man, Orson Welles told Joseph Cotton, after Cotton became wise that Welles was a heinous war profiteer: You know what the fellow said: In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love--they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock." (Greene says this speech was written by Welles.). Its a no brainer that the arms industry in the US and the supply chains was the source of dominant wealth in fhe US. And for the same reason, gave us enormous wealth disparity. If you are not part of this war machine, you are left with peanuts.
The Market Is about To Crash; I believe the equity markets to be significantly overpriced and feel a severe correction (25% plus) within the next 2-5 months is very plausible. Any sage advice for someone ready to start investing would be greatly appreciated.
Good to hear your voice again, and with such an informative video as usual. It makes sense that productivity drops dramatically in war because people are scrambling to safety and away from their productive jobs. Now they become refugees and need help and support. The Ukraine war in particular emphasizes how important democracy is, so that a nuclear armed country can't be solely controlled by one possibly insane person. In a dictatorship there is no safety valve, no built-in way to replace a leader bent on annihilation of other people.
The 2020s started off to a terrible start, and it's only getting worse. I mean first one of the greatest basketball players of all times(Kobe Bryant) died. Then the scare of Covid 19 & all related problems followed. Next the civil unrest because of all the protests against police brutality. Following that the White House attack by extreme righties. And now we're at the verge of WW3. So what more catastrophes can we expect for the 2020s.
@Alux - What if the result of the conflict is Russia trading oil in something other than $ to avoid Western sanctions? Maybe adopting something like the digital Yuan. What happens to the US if most Eastern countries also stop trading oil in $?
@@rameshrnayak I don't think the US would dare try to start a conflict on mainland Russia. It would very be interesting to see what would happen if Russia shifted from the dollar. Maybe that would bring a new dominant currency?
Can't happen, Yuan isn't stable and oil usually is traded by futures with certain cost. So if futures says: I'll buy your oil for 130$ tomorrow. You'll spend 130$, despite on how much 1 dollar cost.
Regarding wars increased demands on products and services; war is like a furnace that is fed the lives and livelihoods of the people impacted. The opportunity cost is far too great.

especially considering the hate and international conflict we create that sometimes lasts hundreds of years. All the resources lost in metals, entire cities leveled, hospitals. The hundreds of thousands of lives that could have become engineers, teachers and doctors. The mass indoctrination of hate that needs to take place for war to be a working system. To undo all of this damage compared to the benefits gained by a select few nations...it is not a sustainable method into the future.
Hi Alux, I was glad you mentioned Ethiopia and I would love if you could make a video about what’s going on there and bring awareness thank you, keep up the great work!
*Soldier receiving ‘salary’ as he fights in War* Soldier: “Oh! Thank goodness I’m getting payed for risking my life to protect my country! I’ll be so happy when I make it back home!” Same Soldier 3 Weeks Later: *Dies* Same Soldier in Heaven: “Hey God, do you accept USD$ up here?” God: 🙂 No
As much as I hate and disagree with the religious extremism and condemn the ISIS regime and what they have done over the years. I cant help but notice your editing tend to show just ISIS, Russian but forgot or failed to mention anything about what the US official governments did over the years in Japan, Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq and are still doing in Afghanistan over opium trade. I mean if you were to give an example shouldn't you atleast use one of the most country that caused wars and terror in our generation. Instead of using ISIS which is a small group of fanatics or the Soviet union who are long gone.
To anyone whos lazy basically, War is good for short term as theres recruitment for troops and manufacturers increasing the output of products mostly war types but because of this you chew through resources and troops on the front line. Some of these resources includs money so to make up for this loans and more money is made creating inflation and debt. Something related that in star wars we see companys nationalised creating control on exactly what products are made but with state owned business means no copatison so no rise in the economy or taxes. We also see this in the soviet union and elsewhere. But as you make the swich back to peace time economy most troops lose there jobs and manufacturers usaly lay off some workers as there no high demand and production is switched from mass of war stuff to luxury and commercial goods... as more peace time jobs are opened like entertaners alot more jobs are lost through the lay off of troops and manufacturers as we see in the great depression. Over time the peace time economy mames money through commercial trade and goods and taxes wich are used to pay off debts and lower inflation a bit well in providing the country with things like education and construction.
Now do a People still Work in War video. Because probably no one knows that what actually goes on in war are people still growing food trading how it happens etc. .
I officially entered a war (figurative war) with my ex girlfriend. I'm now drawing parallels between war time economy and my personal financial status which has striking resemblances

I've also been trading with her, the profits are secured and over a 100% return on investment directly sent to your wallet. I made up to $260,000 in 2months trading with her
after watching so many RU-vid tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses until Mrs Kimberly Jose started managing my investments now I make $60,567 weekly. God bless Mrs Kimberly. she's been a blessing to my family.
Diversification is not a bad idea it really worked for me, remember that protection is of capital is a must expert Mrs Kimberly is such a good role model in the world today
Communism vs democracy? Rather socialism vs capitalism. Communism and socialism aren’t inherently authoritarian. It can democratic. Read on democratic socialism
Good. I just bought gold the day Russia attacked Ukraine. I also bought a couple of years ago, when it looked like US wanted to go to war with Iran and when I heard that China wanted to invade Taiwan.
Standing here I realize You are just like me Trying to make history But who’s to judge The right from wrong When our guard is down I think we’ll both agree That violence breeds violence But in the end it has to be this way I’ve carved my own path You followed your wrath But maybe we’re both the same The world has turned And so many have burned But nobody is to blame Yet staring across this barren wasted land I feel new life will be born Beneath the blood stained sand Beneath the blood stained sand
The United States call it "Liberation" instead of "Invasion". That was what US call it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and the list goes on... Why the double standard? Confused... Please enlighten. Genuine question... Instances of the United States "liberated" or overthrowing, or attempting to overthrow, a foreign government since the Second World War.

United States was 50% richer in 1945, as in 1940. Why ? One reason. It took United Kingdom till 2005 to pay off their Lend Lease depts to USA. You did not think they gave them weapons for free did you ? Check the statistics.
I still pray for Iraqis, Afghanistanis, Yemenis, Syrians, Pakistanis and the rest of the Muslim world who are still suffering the consequences of war…!!!! I also pray for Ukraine… Now I wonder how many people feel the same…….

A point should be made that the Broken window theory (academic theory proposed by James Q. Wilson and George Kelling in 1982) and the broken window fallacy (or parable of the broken window by French economist Frédéric Bastiat in 1850) are two different things. But both interesting reads if anyones interested.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. Sun Tzu.
To state that war wouldn't be good for anything, is a bit... naiv, lol. Even a beginner's course in evolutionary psychology would be enough to learn that ANY persistent human behavior (that is which survives over many, many human generations) MUST bring a benefit to humanity, otherwise it would have gone extinct already ages ago. *So what is it that war has been good for in human (evolutionary) history?* Well, war greatly accelerated brain development, such as brain organization, IQ, language, tool making, strategic forward thinking, cooperation... all those massively improved in homo sapiens and made him the superior human kind. Only because of the selection pressure that homo sapiens put on himself during hundreds of thousands years of repeated warfare among small tribes, his brain developed so quickly that he was able to prevail over homo neanderthalensis even though those were much stronger in physics, much more numerous and much better adjusted to the harsh climate of the north. Without war we still would roam around in small hunter-gatherer groups with very primitive tools and would not know language, sophisticated tools, wide spread cooperation, writing, agriculture or even the wheel. So it would be great if you could show the greatness to bring a correction about what you stated so wrongly at the end of this video. :-) War certainly made (evolutionary) sense in the past. The (well justified) question is if this still is the case today?
The problem with this current war is that most people are only willing to see it from one perspective. They parrot each other for approval or trendiness, whether they actually feel sorry for these people or not is a different story. Very few are willing to see things from multiple perspectives because some of those perspectives might not be popular opinion or receive disapproval from others. It's quite sad that most people require approval from others because they're not comfortable enough in their own skin. Militaries and nukes will always be needed for countries to keep each other in check, & ensure their own national security.
Russia's oil and gas pipelines, as well as control of the Black Sea, goes through Ukraine. Ukraine have been in big conflicts with Russia for many years due to this. The control for oil/gas/ports are the primary reason for this war.

Anyone think Russians will pour their money into crypto or American/Chinese stocks? Not saying it would move the markets but just curious since their currency is tanking
I actually love the idea of no currency. Without currency an egalitarian economy can exist. There would be no such thing as inflation. The economy would be sustainable and close to being perfect.
@@Tightrope291 that is the million dollar question and it needs to be asked a lot more often. we cant imagine an incentive without profit because that is the culture we are raised in. But actually, humans are naturally problem solving and there will always be human problems to solve. We are social beings, and all people want to be a part of the society they grow up in. If you were born and raised in the jungle as the headhunters of the amazon, you would kill and wear the heads of neighboring tribes as ornaments because that is the society you are raised in and want to be a part of. You may one day come up with better ideas of hunting neighboring tribes (aka solving problems) like bows and arrows or traps and be a respected part of that society and you would be fully content with your life had you not known anything else. You wouldnt just randomly realize one day "hey wait a minute, I want to become an architect. Screw wearing dried up heads around my neck thats barbaric." that wouldnt really be possible because that would be outside your frame of reference unless you have read books or been exposed about other societies. likewise, the society we grow up in uses money as an incentive. Basic needs of life such as food, shelter and security require monetary exchange. Without it, you cannot participate in this society that you want to be a part of and be respected in, let alone survive. We cannot imagine a culture without it, it would mean changing the entire social structure that has not yet been created. We now life in a technological age, the first of its kind and things are different now. Food is made in masse in factories and a single factory can feed millions of humans, creating abundance given the amount of effort required. We can use technology to create abundance and eliminate scarcity and have it automated without people having to work in the factories. well What would this look like? it has never been done and never has there been a society built with abundance as the base level. If basic needs are a given, meaning that all of the people of earth no longer have to worry about food, shelter and security, it does not mean that everyone will sit around doing nothing all day long. It would actually be quite the opposite. human effort would be put to use in more elevated areas of progress because there will always be human problems to solve. We always want to improve our lives further and further. There would be a boom in all areas of culture: music, entertainment, ethics and ideologies of what it means to be human (how we should live). There will always be human problems to be solved and it would not be done for money because everyone's needs are met at a base level (scarcity is no longer the problem). many bursts of cultural progresses occurred in smaller scale in our history. Whenever there is great progress in human civilizations there are moments of great cultural expansion. Think of the great advances in maths, social structures and the ideologies of the greek philosophers, or the advances in music, science and arts during the renaissance. Money was a great invention and allowed complex cultural diversities to flourish but eventually things will have to change because it holds us back more than it allows us to progress. We are at a point where different nations going to war to secure benefits for their own countries inflict more damage than good. Even if one nation benefits for the length of a few generations at the cost of another, it is only too temporary. Much more advantage could have been had with cooperation than competition. Engineers have technological solutions to human problems that can only work within an evolved system. I can give you a few examples. We can tap into volcanoes to generate abundant energy for the rest of the world. We can build underwater dams to create underwater turbulence, generate energy and oxygenate the ocean to a higher level, creating more energy and more food for the rest of the world. We can optimize all crops instead of being limited to regulatory trade and historic policies. Why do we grow apples in Georgia when they grow much better in the Chilean valleys? isnt that a waste of soil? These are all ideas proposed by engineers in the 19th century in the beginning of the technological age. But there isnt enough funding or cooperation in the world to put these ideas into reality. The historic policies and regulations of the old world is the only thing holding us back. but if we can create true abundance for everyone does it really matter how much it costs? what good is such a system if we cant progress into the future. Engineers and scientists don't think in terms of social systems or political limits, rather in terms of what's physically, or chemically relevant. We have to realize that because we are social beings, it is more natural for us to take care of each other rather than to hate one another. All mothers want to feed and nurture their offspring. everyone wants to live better lives and will use whatever tools at their disposal to achieve it, that human drive will never change. in that regard change is inevitable but it doesnt happen in the course of a lifetime but over many generations as old ideas fade and new ones are conceived. If you made it this far into the comment i advise you look up Jacque Fresco and check out his lectures on social cyberneering
