Economy
Economic forecasts remain a topic of discussion as recession predictions have not materialized. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s model, reportedly known for its historical accuracy since 1960, indicated a 50% chance of recession for 16 months starting in early 2023. However, the U.S. economy has shown resilience, with low unemployment and no recessionary signs in key indicators like GDP and industrial production. Government spending, currently at 23% of GDP, has contributed to economic stability, though small businesses are reportedly struggling, which some view as a potential indicator of economic downturns. Meanwhile, the stock market remains optimistic, with analysts at Braavos Research noting continued upward potential despite recent corrections.
Health
The FDA has approved a new self-amplifying mRNA vaccine for the H5N1 avian influenza, developed by Arcturus Therapeutics and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This vaccine, which replicates within the body to produce more mRNA, has raised global concerns over potential risks. Japan’s approval of similar vaccines has led to public protests, and experts in Canada and the Netherlands have issued warnings. The U.S. trial, supported by BARDA, aims to test the vaccine’s effectiveness in preventing pandemic influenza, with the potential for faster production and easier storage due to its freeze-dried form.
Geopolitics
Tensions are rising following the Biden administration’s authorization of long-range American ATACMS missiles being against Russian targets. This decision has drawn sharp criticism, with some arguing it could provoke Russia without clear benefits for Ukraine. The Pentagon had previously rejected the use of these weapons, citing the risks of nuclear escalation. Russia’s revised nuclear doctrine now permits the use of nuclear weapons if attacked by a non-nuclear nation using equipment from a nuclear power, a policy shift that has raised concerns across Europe. The use of ATACMS is seen as a direct challenge to this doctrine, leading to fears of heightened conflict.
In response, European nations are preparing for potential conflict. Sweden, Finland, and Norway have issued survival guides to their citizens, advising on food stockpiling and sheltering in the event of a nuclear attack. Germany is updating its military operations plans, and Cold War-era bunkers in Prague are being refurbished. These actions underscore the seriousness of the current geopolitical climate, especially as documents reportedly reveal Russia’s plans to target NATO sites in Europe.
The situation continues to evolve as Ukraine defends its use of the American-made missiles, which it deems essential for its defense, while Russia views the missile strikes as an escalation, prompting President Putin to reportedly lower the threshold for nuclear weapon deployment. This development coincides with the G20 summit, where discussions are focused on preventing nuclear war.
Amid these tensions, discussions about the potential use of martial law in the U.S. have surfaced, particularly concerning the transition of power to a future Trump administration. Legal analyses suggest that while martial law has been declared in the past, its use to block a presidential transition would face significant legal challenges. Speculation about extreme measures, including nuclear war, to prevent Trump’s return has been fueled by past actions during the pandemic, highlighting the unpredictable nature of current political dynamics.
