theoretically possible, I guess, and GavKal needed to at least list the possibility together w/ other possibilities. as it would be the second anything like munition gets exchanged in, say for example, S China Sea

Day Friday after market closes: Team USA does whatever remotely like cutting Team China from the US$ system

Saturday: Utter Chaos Gauge go purple. Nations must go pending-announcement, choose to deal in RMB or crater, and Team China goes self-reliant vis a vis those who hesitate to trade in RMB

Sunday: Announcement - rare earths go rare on Monday market open

Monday: mutual confiscation takes place, Nasdaq goes to zero, gold goes where it should go, around 30,000, and industries starts to stop around the periphery of the world. Doom-loop protocol tee-ed up

Monday afternoon: Near-irreversible doom-looping

(Trade) Wars tend to sort out hesitations, firstly by acceleration into doom-loop
(Ideological) War when currency-linked, does sorting rapidly

all governments who engages in wars of any sort are of course answerable to the people, and sorting speeds would be determined by pain level instantly sustained and guesstimated as to-still-be-sustained

the issue is that irrespective of actual intent, just talking about certain possibilities, if done in official capacity, does the triggering, and then the markets take over.

Queue Navarro, Pompeo, Esper, and whomever on Capitol Hill.

Question: do they know what they are doing? Answer, "yes". Problem is that they in effect and by effects work for the Russians, logically-speaking

Except for the net-shorts, no one escapes to side-lines that are not there.

Just a guess.

I am however curious whether I am perhaps wrong. It happens.

In any case so many crazily unusual happenings have taken place in the past few months that I say, "why not?"

In such a trajectory progression, imperative to get ones gold to near-at-hand, and yes, it might take a few days of logistics, but then war is all about logistics, and speed of action and reaction. Physical labour required.

Assumption would be that bids for most items disappear, except maybe gold, silver, and toilet paper.

It would be excitingly volatile.

A quote from Peter Sellers in "Being There" comes easily to mind
