I guess $2 trillion doesn’t mean as much as it used to. After yesterday’s “leak” of the latest hurricane of free money came out, the small caps exploded to a never-before-seen level (green arrow). Pretty much the moment Biden talked about it for real, things started to unwind. The whole thing is a comic farce. Free trillions out of thin air. This nation has absolutely zero dignity left at this point.

But, for whatever reason, if a long-lasting global financial crisis takes hold, and prosperity in China falters badly, then Xi will take the route any self-respecting dictator would take: he will divert the attention of the masses to a common enemy, outside the confines of the Middle Kingdom, and create war. And that is the greatest risk of all.
