Thats not frontloading... No amount of prepping will mean much
im talking about doing the bucketlist thing
Like that 55k cruise vacay for 7 days
I understand your concern about the diminishing value of currencies and antagonism towards Asians in America but aren't there better ways to deal with the situation on a personal level? Instead of someone spending their last penny and going into debt, isn't it better for them to translate their wealth to other forms and build a plan to escape to safer jurisdictions? Or are you implying to max out credit before making an exit?

If someone that thinks the situation in America will become dire, wouldn't it be better to use that money to obtain property in a safe place in Asia that allows foreign property ownership?

Im in my mid 30s... the human body degrades cellular level past age of 20.

Women peak at 24 hitting wall at 30
Men peak at early 30 hit wall at 40

One has to take into context and account that the prime years wont last forever, I dont want to live to 65 with a "retirement" saved up... I want to hit hard when it counts... this is the twilight of my own youth as it is the last nanoseconds of Pax Americana before the USS Titanic sinks under and ends up as a heap of metal on the bottom of the Atlantic

So they are glad about their ally suffering a terrorist attack on a major civilian infrastructure? How Germany can't even ask "what do you mean?" What kind of clown show is this?
Actually this favor to German political class as they already decided to abandon Russian gas. if there is running pipeline there is likelyhood they will face pressure to activate it which is not acceptable to German elites. It is US taking blame on behalf of Germany.
now EU shifting focus to Asia. they are ensuring that EU has central importance . The more Japan/Korea/Taiwan spend on defense the more likely they will need Europa. US/Canada/Mexico already depended on European engineering and EU has surplus with them.
This Ukraine war will make EU even more powerful with more business built on European engineering in Mideast and North Africa.

The Ukraine war is not going to benefit the EU much when they have to pay much more for oil, gas and grains, not to mention many of there companies are looking for cheaper places to set up shop given that the cost to upkeep the industry in the EU is getting higher and higher and with inflation going high and higher as well in Europe, it is pretty clear that the war in Ukraine is going to make the EU weaker and weaker in The long run. Also None of those Asian nations can up their spending on Weapons when they are already several decades behind the top players (I mean none of them can even dream about proper nuclear subs, 5th gen fighters and hypersonic weapons) and the USA has a debt ceiling they need to deal with or else they will default and if they raise that debt ceiling, inflation will rise.
Maybe the EU has a central importance of the USA, as a buffer against Russia but without significant capital and resources, can they really hold out without protests from the majority going out of hand the long this war cleared on. If the EU gets screwed, the USA would be in trouble. Lastly, if the German political class fails to address the concerns of the people in regards to rising costs and the general state of the economy under Olaf, they might end up in tatters like Ursula has said.

"Men peak at early 30 hit wall at 40"


I peaked in my teens, hit the wall in my 20s, and it's been a steep downhill ever since.

US provocations over Taiwan question a minefield for China ties, encourage "once and for all" solution
Provocations only encourage 'once and for all' solution: experts
are a minefield for China-US relations with the Taiwan question becoming the most dangerous, Chinese observers warned on Friday, citing a Republican-backed, provocative resolution and house speaker Kevin McCarthy's possible visit to the island.
They stressed that the US' repeated provocations over China's red line will only strengthen China's determination to address the Taiwan question once and for all.
Lü Xiang, an expert on US studies and a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, believes that if McCarthy makes the visit, which is highly likely, China's response against the US would be of higher intensity than that after then house speaker Nancy Pelosi's provocative visit to Taiwan island in August 2022.

Besides China announcing sanctions against Pelosi and her immediate family, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) in August held joint drills in the Taiwan Straits which were of unprecedented scale and duration, forming a blockade of the island.

China has drawn a clear-cut red line, but if the US regards it as not clear enough and keeps testing the line, "we don't mind reinforcing it," Lü told the Global Times on Friday.
Song Zhongping, a Chinese military expert and TV commentator, cited a Chinese saying that "quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes."
The US keeps hollowing out its political commitment by passing bills, selling weapons and making provocative visits to the island of Taiwan. Its provocations keep piling up in quantities, which will lead to a qualitative change - China has to address the Taiwan question once for all, Song told the Global Times on Friday.
