Every European Country Reinstituting Drafts, They Want War – Martin Armstrong
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)
Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong is back with an update on his big turn toward war in Ukraine with Russia. Two weeks ago on USAW, Armstrong predicted, “After May 15, war is turning up (in Ukraine) and it will be turning up into 2026.” That prediction paid off to the exact day as peace talks between Russia and Ukraine ended on May 15 after just two hours, and neither side agreed to meet again. War is already here, and there is no stopping it with peace talks. Armstrong says, “Putin knows and understands this is not a just a war with Ukraine, this is a war with NATO. If Putin agrees to a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine, what’s that going to do? Absolutely nothing. You have every European country reinstituting drafts. In Germany, even people 60 years old have been told to report. Poland has ordered every able-bodied man to show up for military training. They want war. Their economy is collapsing. You hear about this de-dollarization, and it’s not happening. The capitalization of just the New York Stock Exchange is worth more than all of Europe combined. That’s just the New York Stock Exchange. . . . You’ve got Macron in France, they call him the ‘Petite Napolean.’. . . Without war, Europe is going to collapse. It’s in a sovereign debt crisis . . . They have done everything against the economy.”
Armstong thinks Russia will finish off Ukraine sometime in 2027 and Europe a year or two after that. And, Yes, Armstrong still thinks Ukraine will disappear from the map.
Armstrong urged his contacts in Washington to “Get the hell out of NATO.” It seems some in the US government are considering this warning as this headline breaks today: “US to Begin European Troop Withdrawal Talks, NATO Ambassador Says.” Armstrong says, “I have been told by some very influential people on Capitol Hill ‘you’re right, we agree.’ That’s what I have been told. . . . I have been complaining about this for months, and my view is Europe is committing suicide, and let’s not be part of it this time.”
Is President Trump getting this message? Armstrong says, “Yes, I believe so. . . . Trump also said a peace deal does not seem likely, the hatred is too great on both sides.”
The neocons back home also want war with Russia and have wanted it for a very long time. Trump is either going to make peace or walk away and not participate. Maybe this is why former FBI Director James Comey put out his not-so-cryptic call to assassinate President Trump with his “86 47” now deleted Instagram post. Comey was the man who held Armstrong in prison illegally for contempt for 7 years. Armstrong says, “Comey has always been part of it. Just for the record, he was the US Attorney in New York. He’s the one who kept me in contempt until the Supreme Court said what the hell is going on? Then, they had to release me.”
How did Armstrong land in jail? Armstrong says, “They asked me to put in 10 billion dollars . . . to take over Russia, and I refused. It was Comey that was the US Attorney for New York, and he kept me in civil contempt, which has a maximum sentence of 18 months, and he kept me in for 7 years. He kept rolling it and rolling it and rolling it. . . . I was told if I put in $10 billion, I would get $100 billion back. They intended to have all the assets of Russia going through the trading desk of New York. All the oil, gold, diamonds, platinum, you name it, they would have it all. And I said, no, I’m out. I am not into regime change.”
Fast forward to today, and the powers in Europe still think they can take Russia and steal their assets to fix the extreme financial problems in Europe. Pensions, banks and bonds are in deep financial trouble in Europe. Stealing from Russia and gaining control of $75 trillion in natural resources is why they want and need war. Armstrong says, “They went to negative interest rates in 2014. I warned them. I said listen; you are out of your minds. You are syphoning money out of the bank reserves and pension finds. It’s a basket case. It really is. They have no appreciable economy. . . it’s shrinking, the number of actual businesses has shrunk in Germany. (Germany is 25% of the EU economy.) This is why they need war.”
Armstrong says Europe is going to lose and lose badly in a war with Russia. Armstrong says if Trump gets out of NATO, the US will thrive and do much better financially than Europe. Let’s all hope President Trump gets us out of NATO before it’s too late.

I don’t understand why Trump allowed Lindsey Graham which Judge Andrew Napolitano posted on his YT channel to be a part of the Ukraine/Russia peace talks in Istanbul. It made no sense to have a warhawk like Graham to take part in the discussions. The Trump delegation is SO confusing.
Bible Prophecy is 100% EU will go to 10 so it was written so it will be DONE.
NO> On Iran> they does not understand!> Elam is coming! Enjoy
There will always be wars and rumors of war. Not my words, but I do realize that man (mankind) IS NOT SMART ENOUGH TO GOVERN THE WORLD; it’s too complicated with uncountable variables.
God bless you Greg.

In Ein’s book, US has been in UK’s pocket since the Civil War. Since Cornwallis’ defeat at the hands of Washington and France, the UK had been constantly attempting to recover its control, War of 1812 etc until it regained control via banking. Banking controls everything and the UK is the Royal Family and they switched to this form of rule long ago. The next form of control morphs into the Cryptocurrencies and their Universal Religion the melding of the existing major religions. Yes they are sick but you will be put out of your misery if you do not follow. This is their goal. The UK is the state behind all of this. Notice Trump’s unprecedented 2nd invitation to visit the castles of the Royal Family. Yes this is about global conquest or whatever you wish to call it. Yes they are going back to feudalism and we are to their serfs working hard for their benefit and this way minimizes the impact to the environment and the Earth that we are ruining which they “own”. Be of use and not be a “worthless eater”. It would not go well for you in their future.
I was just headed out the door to go hiking and got your email,,,so watched your interview with Martin instead,,,Really good,,thanks to both of you! Hopefully Trump stays out of war with Russia,,,even Iran,,,we have nothing to gain,,let Europe commit SAUSAGE if they think they can go to war with Russia,,,Russia won’t play nice and it will be over in a day,,,they are not going to waste precious souls and blood on a ground war with NATO,,,
Hopefully Trump focuses on bringing back and rebuilding manufacturing in America,,,,looks like Pete Hegseth is rebuilding/restructuring our military which is really good and I think China is what we need to watch and focus on,,,,,,Like Europe,,,Russia has no use or reason to war with America they are the land of plenty and don’t need anyone else’s resources,,,,,,China is building up their military at an alarming rate and are highly advanced,,,I studied ground wire hacking last fall and a state sponsor like China could easily set up an interface hack at night on overhead power line ground wire and get into computer systems through the ground wire and steal sensitive info and or install malware on computers,,,especially near military sites and it would be undetectable,,,then remove the interface and be gone and no one would know,,,so any one reading this make sure you have air gaps in your ground wires or use on site generators,,,,,4 years of open borders and tens of thousands of unknown Chinese are in here,,and China interests (people) own lots of land around our military installations,,,,and they are capable of such a feat,,,,,
Hopefully Trump can get Apple to manufacture in America again,,I have had such good luck with their products,,,be really nice to have a MacBook Air and Iphone made in America not China or India or elsewhere again! Thanks again Greg & Martin !

The Military Industrial Complex and bankers make Big Bucks on war.
Depopulationists want war to reduce world population.
By voting Trump in, we saved our own lives, at least, until their next treason.
Democide = Genocide By Government – CAF
So called vaccines are an easy way to kill the naive.
Get ready for kinetic war. Ammo up.
Global war will cause catastrphic shortages for Americans.
We buy so much from foreign countries.

Greg, great interview with Martin thank you.
Ps Does Martin Armstrong’s computer know about the Black star ⭐ Weston Warren spoke about? If not is it possible for him to find out what his computer 💻 program says about it. Also did his computer expect what happened when the tsunami hit on Dec 24 in Indonesia? Thank you 🙏
What Martin is really saying is time is fractal in nature, these are reoccurring patterns and we are creatures of habit, even if these patterns are self destructive. Once this is understood then the pattern can change. I place my faith in God, and
My thoughts and emotions in his sons plan for peace and forgiveness, freedom is the flower and
You just need to will it into your existence. Love you all and you too Greg lol Stan.
Amazing
there all service corporations masquerading as gov. a draft is not law, it’s corporate policy. you are not property. America was founded on common law, it’s the only way to fix the world of these demons everywhere
Wow! pretty sure Charles Nenner wisely “exported” himself to Florida maybe last year sometime.
Probably millions in Europe would want to do likewise! Send everything of value here and pray they survive there!
In back of mind …NATO forces ( other than NAZI ones);
what’s to stop these people being drafted from giving NATO the you-know-what? Especially if they know we’re out?
“The crap storm that Europe has created over the last several years is obvious to the Trump Administration and others. I’m sure Trump is smart enough to pivot out of this situation and reap the benefits of fleeing capital. If Europe wants war, it’s their war to lose. The Roth’s can fall and the new system will forget their legacy.
I believe President Trump will withdrawal the United States from NATO membership. But now that the U.S. has signed the Rare Earth Minerals Deal with Ukraine then the U.S. now has an investment interest to ‘protect’ that while a war is raging. So how does that scenario pan-out?
