QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, Thank you for speaking the truth about the timeline of this war with Ukraine. Every news story here in Europe says the same thing. Russia was unprovoked. Never in my entire life have I ever witnessed such outright lies by the press. I do not see the Europeans rising up to overthrow these governments. We are sheep being led to the slaughter. You have forecasted that the euro will no longer exist, and they are rapidly moving to digital currencies, which will be, as you say, for capital control. We will not be able to leave or get our money out. Will you do a special report on Europe? I think it is time to prepare for the future sooner than later.
I am a great admirer of your courage and endurance.

ANSWER: It gives me no pleasure to live through Socrates’s forecasts as we head into 2032 when even the euro has a Panic Cycle. I have done my best to try to defeat my own computer to no avail. Nobody will listen to me, and they certainly never listen to history, assuming this time is always different. That is just part of the cycle. Those of us who see the patterns are condemned to sit on the sidelines and watch everyone repeat history repeatedly.
The euro has broken last year’s low and is still trading below it. We have a very serious Panic Cycle for Europe next year, and they are pushing to cancel the currency’s move to digital ASAP. All they look at is capital controls, which will prevent bank runs and stop capital fleeing. They are trying to control their risk of the collapse of the EU.
Germany counterfeited the British pound during World War II to undermine their economy. However, with digital currencies, Russia has an EPM bomb. All they have to do is explode one over Europe, and you will fry the electric components and kill the digital euro altogether. This is how all governments work. They are entirely myopic, like climate change or COVID-19. In both cases, they never considered that this would drastically shrink the economy. Only afterward, behind the curtain, do I get the calls. Can you fix it?
When she was at the IMF, Christine Lagarde threatened tax havens to turn over all the people with accounts there or remove them from the SWIFT system. She even did that to the Vatican. She was the one who started this insane policy that her buddy, Obama, tried on Russia in 2014, and SWIFT refused to comply. So, they replaced the head of SWIFT in 2019, and he removed Russia from SWIFT, which set BRICS in motion. They are always myopic and never consider the counter-move in chess.
Now, Lagarde runs the ECB, pushing for the cancellation of the currency and moving to digital. This is about taxes all over again. She hates the rich, other than politicians, and is a pure socialist while prancing around as one of the best-dressed women in Europe in $10,000 designer attire.
Christine Lagarde, head of the IMF, could be charged with money laundering as she transported more than $10,000 worth of goods without declaring them. Lagarde appeared in New York City wearing French designs in a Chanel dress worth €3000, €6000 for her Hermès handbag, and at least €500 for her Christian Louboutin shoes, bringing the total to about €9500, not counting jewelry, of course.
This is like Biden’s Climate C zar, John Kerry, flying around in his private jets while telling us to ride a bicycle or walk to work in our 15-minute cities. Then he tells coal miners to get a real job learning how to make solar panels.
I am working on a detailed report covering the individual countries and the break up of the EU down the pike.

The Democrats have long relied on class warfare to mislead the people. They want the masses to believe that their neighbors are their enemies rather the government who is pulling the strings. Bernie Sanders, 83, launched his “stop oligarchy tour” with an introduction from a transexual singer who deliberately mocked God, Jesus, Holy Easter, and Christians in general. Teaming up with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, they want to stir anger against Trump for having wealthy members in his administration.
John Fetterman once backed Bernie Sanders and the progressive movement, but has since changed his tune. Fetterman acknowledged that his party is completely out of touch with the average person. The average person is not well-versed on the term “oligarch,” Fetterman insist, and “oligarchs” are not the problem.
A reporter recently asked Fetterman if he was worried that Trump was surrounded by the wealthiest administration in US history. “I don’t think it’s so much about their wealth. It’s just because they might have some kind of the views or some things that I don’t agree, and they would push a lot of decisions and changes in our government that I wouldn’t support or would like to see happen in there too,” Fetterman responded. “So it doesn’t really follow their wealth for me. It just follows some of these kinds of core beliefs and the things that they’re willing to push and to do.”
Yes—Fetterman actually admitted that his party and Bernie’s entire platform is completely hypocritical. He noted that many of the billionaires who were once in tech were “more friendly to the Democratic interests.” Have we forgotten that Mark Zuckerberg used social media to completely manipulate the 2020 US Presidential Election, cover the Hunter Biden laptop story, deplatform conservative voices, and control the COVID-19 narrative? Alex Soros has shaken hands with nearly every member of the DNC. I won’t even begin to speak on Bill Gates.
In fact, far more billionaires support the Democratic Party than the Republican Party because the premise of far-left politics leads to equality for all—including everyone becoming equal in poverty while the wealthy hide behind fake virtue signaling charities to save face. Perhaps one of the most memorable debate moments in recent presidential history was when Donald Trump called out Hillary Clinton for permitting her billionaire supporters to use tax loopholes while demonizing the rich. The Democrats did not sign one piece of legislation to close these loopholes for the dreaded rich.
Sanders has not used his $15 million net worth to help the people. He has not offered to house migrants at any of his three properties. Remember that socialism requires YOUR money to temporarily function.
The Democratic Party has hit an all-time low in favorability at 29%. They are losing favor among working-class voters, especially in key swing states, due to economic mismanagement, inflation, and government overreach. A recent NBC poll showed that closing the border was Trump’s most popular policy to date. Biden used the migrant crisis and woke policies like DEI to force Americans to identify as anything other than Americans—divided we fall.

French President Emanual Macron is encouraging the boycott of US-made products. Although he is speaking to EU leaders about US-made defense products, Macron is clearly in favor of the growing calls around the EU to boycott all American-made goods. “My intention is to go and convinceEuropean states that have become accustomed to buying American,” he said on Saturday after declaring that he would visit other European leaders to urge them to discontinue purchases of US defense equipment.
“Those who buy Patriot should be offered the new-generation Franco-Italian SAMP/T. Those who buy the F-35, should be offered the Rafale. That’s the way to increase the rate of production,” the president said. Macron wants to send his troops to Ukraine’s frontline immediately and has become outraged with the US for electing a president who supports peace. “This [sending troops] would mean a partial invasion of Ukraine and a freeze on the conflict, without offering any security or guarantees for the future,” Macron said.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also stated that new defense loans should go to European manufacturers and has proposed a €150 billion ($163 billion) loan for member states.
This goes far beyond defense spending as European leaders are outraged by the United States backing away from the war, the Paris Accord climate agreement, the World Health Organization, and every other globalist policy that was ruining the nation.
French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann, of the Socialists and Democrats group recently demanded that the US return the Statue of Liberty. “We’re going to tell the Americans who have chosen to align themselves with tyrants, who have dismissed researchers advocating for scientific freedom: ‘Return the Statue of Liberty to us.’ We bestowed it upon you as a present, yet it seems you hold it in contempt. Therefore, it would be better suited here at home.”
The European Union has a common enemy—Donald Trump—who they will blame for all of their woes. “Look, let’s be honest, the European Union was formed in order to screw the United States,” Donald Trump once said. Macron has had it out for Trump since his first presidency. He would like to transform France into the EU’s primary defense system with its nuclear capabilities now that the US is no longer leading this proxy war.
Perhaps Macron would reconsider his position if Trump agreed to extradite his number one American foe—Candace Owens.

Canadians are outraged at US President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to annex Canada. Canadian consumers began boycotting American products and are now boycotting America in general as tourism sank by nearly a quarter this February. Statistics Canada reported a 23% decline in trips via car from the US this February, marking the second consecutive monthly decline, while trips to the US by air declined 2.4%.
Based on personal conversations with Canadian friends, I do not believe this decline is simply correlated with the falling Canadian dollar or unfavorable exchange rate. The US was the top travel destination for Canadian tourists, and many state and local economies depend on those tourism dollars. Canadian license tags nearly equate to US tags in the spring and summer months down here in Florida. Yet, Canadians are genuinely outraged by Trump’s comments on their nation becoming a US state and want to boycott the US and anything manufactured here. I have even heard of companies canceling conferences in the US due to tensions.
Hotel reservations near the Canadian border have seen notable decreases as well. Niagara Falls, New York, reported a 8.1% decline in Saturday night bookings and Bellingham, Washinton, recently saw a 10.8% dip. Canadian travel agency Flight Centre rang the alarm that booking to the US in February plummeted an alarming 40% YoY.
There were over 20.4 million visits to the US from Canada in 2024, aiding in $20.5 billion in spending. The US Travel Association believes a 10% decline in Canadian tourism could shed $2.1 billion from the US economy and cost up to 14,000 jobs. The association noted that if the current trend continues, the US economy will lose at least $4 billion in tourism. Tourism states like Florida, New York, Nevada, Texas, and California will experience the worst repercussions of this travel boycott.
Canada is a sovereign nation, and the people wish to keep it that way. We had an excellent relationship with our neighbors to the north despite political warfare. Now, it seems as if anti-American sentiments are growing across Canada since President Trump has been keen on potentially annexing it.
For our Canadian readers— as you know with Trudeau and now Carney, our leaders do not always speak on behalf of those they claim to represent. Americans have no desire to annex Canada. In fact, the majority on both sides of the political spectrum thought Trump was simply mocking Trudeau when he proposed making Canada a state. The majority of Americans respect Canada’s sovereignty and wish we could lay this topic to rest already.
