Here is my thought process.
>US leaving NATO
It would signal for the allies that the dollar is useless as a reserve currency, all that military investment and protection money was for nothing, every country that depends on the US to exist will scramble for a solution and the market will respond, this will likely trigger a massive global recession.
>Massive layoffs
everyone talks about AI being the culprit but I don't believe it, the objective of AI is to increase productivity so firing thousands of people every month means you are losing possible institutional knowledge, if AI can increase even a 10% work of an employee for the same salary that profit, in reality think these top 500 companies are preparing for a global recession, they are just using AI as an execute for the layoffs, these companies have access to the government insiders so they know, at least partially, what is going to happen in the next 12 months.
>Massive investment in data centers
in my opinion it has nothing to do with AI, they know or suspect that a blockade will happens, and when it happens hardware will stop flowing in for months or even years, so these companies are panicking buy tons of hardware for this specific scenario.
Second, a surplus of data centers means if an invasion happens or a long ranged strikes hit US, the local internet won't go down.
>US Commanders, Generals and War College papers
US has talked about a war with China since the 2018, and everything that they are doing aligns with what they said, and since 2021, generals and commander had publicly stated that a war with china will happen around 2025-2027, and their first objective will be to destroy Taiwan before China captures it.
>PLA 100th anniversary
Next year is going to the PLA 100th anniversary.
The chaos generated by a weak dollar and recession would create an opening for the invasion of Taiwan, China knows its an artificial opening but they have to take the bait, and if they refuse to invade Taiwan, US grows stronger and by 2030-2035 US will likely be an technologically independent power house.
I'm trying to make sense of what I'm seeing, I could be wrong, I'm probably wrong, that is my thought process regarding the time table.
