Alex Krainer: Afghanistan Signals End of US Empire as China Turns on Elites & Great Reset

Alex Krainer discusses how Afghanistan signals the American Empire's loss of hegemony over Mackinder's "World Island" and everywhere else (e.g. Ukraine, Syria, Iraq), the game is up. He believes that Beijing had initially been propped up by Western elites, but given the recent turn against China by George Soros and Co., the CCP mislead and is now abandoning the global elites. They have not forgotten the Century of Humiliation. The economic fallout of U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan could mean equity and bond bubbles bursting, upward pressure on commodity prices, and high rates of inflation in the American financial system. He believes the dollar world reserve status can shrink rapidly in the coming years. He discusses his recent accurate Bitcoin price prediction and why precious metals and commodities are poised for an explosive rally. Regarding COVID1984 and the Great Reset, he's optimistic in that Davos, like Icarus, is flying too close to the sun and ultimately will fail. *Support/Donate to Geopolitics & Empire: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/geopolitics PayPal https://www.paypal.me/geopolitics Bitcoin http://geopoliticsandempire.com/bitcoin-donate Show Notes Why the loss of Afghanistan will ultimately end the Empire https://isystem-tf.com/2021/08/29/why-the-loss-of-afghanistan-will-ultimately-end-the-empire BITCOIN: a buy at $32,000? https://isystem-tf.com/2021/07/14/bitcoin-a-buy-at-32000 Are Gold and Silver due for an explosive rally? https://isystem-tf.com/2021/09/02/are-gold-and-silver-due-for-an-explosive-rally Websites I-System Trend Following https://isystem-tf.com The Naked Hedgie https://thenakedhedgie.com Twitter https://www.twitter.com/NakedHedgie YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAqRpyLzC4xanGQQQtxW0qQ/featured About Alex Krainer Alex Krainer (born in 1970) is an author and former hedge fund manager based in Monaco. Alex was born and raised in a socialist regime of former Yugoslavia, under one-party communist rule. As a 17-year old he joined a student exchange program and spent a year in California. Extending his stay, he took up his university studies there, ultimately transferring to Switzerland where he completed a degree in Business and Economics. From Switzerland his path led him to Venezuela where he lived for a year and experienced his first banking crisis when 9 of Venezuela’s 16 largest banks failed and brought the country’s economy to a grinding halt. With his plans and endeavours thwarted, he returned to Croatia and joined the military where he served through 1995 during the last phases of Croatia’s war of independence.

Over the following six years, his fund outperformed the Dow Jones Credit Suisse index of Blue Chip commodities trading funds.
