America is going to bomb the world into the stone age

Apr 04, 2026

Trump has declared that the United States is prepared to escalate its bombing campaign in Iran over the next 2–3 weeks, with a focus on targeting the country’s energy infrastructure. This includes a major power plant built by Russia at a cost of around $10 billion.

Iran has warned that if such infrastructure is struck, it will retaliate by targeting power plants across Middle Eastern countries. Officials have also indicated that desalination facilities could be hit—critical infrastructure that supplies drinking water to many Gulf nations.

At this point, the situation has become a tit-for-tat conflict, with each side escalating further. The world is watching what increasingly looks like a slow-motion crisis, as both sides threaten to damage vital energy systems.

The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical concern. Roughly 11% of the world’s oil passes through this route, along with fertilizers, food, and other essential goods. Any prolonged disruption could have serious global consequences.

We may be facing one of the largest oil shocks in history. What is currently projected as a short-term escalation could extend into a much longer conflict lasting years. Such a shock would likely impact economies worldwide, with the most severe effects felt in countries that lack domestic energy resources or refining capacity. Larger economies like China, Japan, and the United States may be better positioned due to reserves, but the global ripple effects would still be significant.

Because of this, it’s important to get your financial situation in order now. Consider positioning yourself defensively by accumulating assets like Bitcoin, gold, and silver. Governments may eventually be forced to step in with stimulus measures to prevent widespread unrest, but injecting large amounts of money into the economy during a supply shock would likely drive inflation even higher, reducing purchasing power. Being prepared ahead of time could make a significant difference. Preparing now is like prepping a month before COVID actually hit the United States—those who moved early were far better positioned when everything changed.
