Interesting developments.
But my worry is, does NATO have the fiscal leeway to respond if and when shit hits the fan?
The western economies are so overleveraged and dependent on the fiat debt ponzi schemes, that even a small sign of it unravelling will throw the central bankers into a hissy fit. In spite of the bankers' unlimited money printing capacities, now we are hearing all those safe-heaven bond yields are hitting peace-time highs, there are talks of France and UK going hat-in-hand to IMF for bailouts. Who would have thought the next emerging market would emerge in the middle of Europe?
So yeah...I think NATO has to pay the price by compromising on its military and geopolitical influence for the sins it committed by allowing leftist Keynesians and welfare muppets to take over the monetary and fiscal policies. It has some fancy toys, but it...just...cannot...afford using them.

110% because we could shift to wartime economies. Those puppies are secure and is why Russia hasn't collapsed. IMF is also Western-controlled controlled so 🤷🏼‍♂️ when you make something like the IMF and World Bank you kinda can call them over as you want.
The pure lethality of the US, Polish, and German Special Forces is unmatched except for maybe South Korea.
Also… once you have the toys you can easily use them? That's the issue getting them and them being fully baked but once they are like the B2 and F22 and F35 the US can run them and help out NATO esp when a country like Poland is buying so much from us.

Who is we here? Poland? Or whole of NATO?

It would address all Western economies if you wanted to. It would fix the leverage issues across the board is what I was getting at. Poland, Germany, France, other Eastern Europe countries would def be the first to switch but the rest could easily follow suit

Yeah, wars, regime change and political turmoil are always opportune moments for erasing past obligations (the creditors be damned).
So how do you think we can play it best? Holding Bitcoin and Gold (self custody)? Will it be their (especially Bitcoin) chance to shine as the global reserve asset? Or you think the dollar (post the jubilee) will just get replaced by Chinese yuan?
