Right, so this war, it will accelerate three major trends.
And nations will have to adapt to a new reality in which energy is longer cheap and accessible.
The first major trend is de-industrialization.
Meaning that right now you just have too many people living in cities.
And you can do that as long as you can import cheap energy and cheap food.
But when cheap energy and cheap food are gone, then you need people to work the fields, to grow food for your economy.
So you have to deindustrialize and reduce your energy dependence.
That's one major trend that we should see very soon.
Second major trend we should see is remilitarization in that before we had Pax Americana where America basically guaranteed global peace.
And America basically prevented nations from going to war against each other.
So for example, Trump brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan because these two nations have much hostilities against each other.
But now that America no longer has the aura of invincibility and inability, now that the American military does not come across as almighty, then America doesn't have the power to stop kids from attacking each other on the playground anymore.
So nations have to remilitarize.
um especially nations like japan which before relied too heavily on american military protection okay so that's number two the remilitarization of the world and the third major trend we should see is mercantilism meaning that now that global trade is disrupted
nations, especially advanced industrial nations such as Japan and Germany, they need to create their own independent, self-sufficient supply chains.
Fortunately, America doesn't have this issue because the Western Hemisphere is extremely wealthy and abundant in natural resources.
But if you are Japan and Germany, then you have to reach out and expand your borders if you are to maintain your industrial might.
So these are the three major trends we should be seeing very quickly.
Right.
So from the surface, it seems as though Japan has a lot of structural weaknesses.
