Not inevitable for currency war to become a shooting war, its a banksters lie. Challenge them to explain HOW... I finally figured out sth BIG that had troubled me for a long time.  I kept reading all these articles that proclaimed the trade war with China would lead to a currency war with China which would then "inevitabley" lead to a hot war.  But no one ever explained HOW.  I can see the logic of how a trade dispute over market access and tariffs could lead to currency manipulation as a natural escalation.  But, why would revaluations of currency suddenly cause people to pick up guns and just start shooting each other?  I have yet to hear anyone offer an explanation of WHY that is the 'natural' next step?  Just think about it imagine a world leader saying at the UN floor "if you don't value your currency the way I want you to value your currency, I have no choice but start bombing you until you do"  Because that is essentially what we are being asked to accept. I started to get some clues reading Cooper's "Behold a Pale Horse".  He describes the idea of financial 'induction' in which printing a lot of fiat currency creates a weath effect as people magically have more money in their pocket.  This induction causes population/lifestyle grow as people act as if they are richer than they really are and for a time the illusion works but when the financial economy exceeds the real economy by a certain factor, it collapses back to its real size.  At that point all the excess (now worthless) fiat must be reabsorbed by the banks.  Cooper explains a war is necessary to kill off the excess population or lifestyle that had been 'induced' by the creation of money.  This was the first time I had heard an explanation that even begins to logically connect war and debt.  There was some adjacent text that was speculating that a lot of debt 'products' are used to create cash-flow to support pension payments.  If the ultimate debt holders (the pensioners) are killed then the bank isn't on the hook to cover its obligations.   I got another data point from the X22 report.  a guest was discussing how the shale oil 'miracle' is losing money on purpose.  The point he made is that as the world de-dollarizes all the excess dollars created to enable global economic growth will come flooding back to the USA creating hyperinflation.  The only way to prevent that from happening is the 'destroy' the dollars by throwing them into a subsidy for a mathematically unprofitable industry.  As an aside he mentioned that another way to 'destroy' unwanted fiat dollar supply was a massive wasteful pointless elective war where overpriced military hardware was crashed and burned in desert wastelands. I am starting in a fuzzy logic sort of way to see an image emerging.  A currency war doesn't 'cause' a shooting war.  what really happens is that mis-managed or criminal banks at the endgame when their fiat economy finally blows-up and they are facing bankrupty and prison or worse contrive a war to topple any government that would procescute them.  In other words, its not a 'natural' outcome of currency war at all, its an unnatural outcome.  I think this might be the real reason bankers are so obessessed with population control its not just mean for the sake of being mean.  They actually, financially NEED us to die before we can collect pensions for the banks to remain solvent and profitable.
