Thanks for the explanation. As I understand, you are saying some western banks, investment firms, etc., could be positioned to take advantage of such a collapse. Which is interesting -- a bifurcation of the global economy (BRICS v the West) might cause such an extreme event I suppose? But I really am just guessing at this point.

We are all just guessing, but I think it best to assume that the top insiders have access to information the rest of us don't and will use every crisis to further enrich and empower themselves.

A split between the West and the rest is becoming more likely by the day. Because of its military prowess and self-sufficiency in energy and food, Russia can provide leadership to the resource-exporting countries. The failure of the US in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya, coupled with the failure of NATO-proxy Ukraine opens a window of opportunity for countries that seek relief from the burden of using the US dollar (as opposed to currency swaps or a currency backed by commodities and/or precious metals) and supporting the US bond market. The implications are hard to exaggerate. I do not want to be a 'Chicken 'Little or a source of black-pills about any of this, just trying to be realistic.
