STOP THE WAR ECONOMY. The attack on Venezuela, the threat to seize Greenland, and the pledge to raise the defense budget to $1.5 trillion have sent shares in the Military Industrial Complex skyrocketing.

Global defense stocks rallied at the start of the year. This was due to multiple aggressive actions taken by US President Donald Trump. His European ‘partners’ also contributed to this backdrop.

Shares have experienced steady growth over the past week, gaining more than 10% on average.

The most impressive performance has been from European military-industrial giants like Saab and Rheinmetall, which gained around 25% and 20.5%, respectively.  

The market value of defense companies spiked again on Thursday. Trump called for a massive 50% increase in US defense spending to $1.5 trillion in 2027, which he claimed was necessary to build a ‘dream military.’ 

Market analysts have noted the rapid growth of defense companies’ value. They attribute this growth to geopolitical tensions. The actions of the US president, in particular, play a significant role. 

‘Geopolitics is the inescapable story of 2026 thus far,’ Neil Wilson, British investor and strategist at Saxo Bank told Reuters. ’Clearly defense stocks are the play, along with rare earths.’ 

The operation in Venezuela was followed by a flurry of threats from Trump and other top officials. They targeted other nations in the region, including Cuba and Columbia.

The US also made new threats against Iran. Iran has been gripped by MOSSAD-fueled anti-government protests. These protests were sparked by a sharp drop in the national currency. 

Moreover, the Trump administration has renewed its claims on Greenland, an autonomous region of fellow NATO member Denmark.

Washington says it needs to own the island to ensure ’security’ in the Arctic. It aims to counter an alleged threat posed by Russia and China.

The Danish and Greenlandic governments have vocally rejected that requirement. Multiple European NATO nations have also expressed their concerns. They are worried about the fate of the US-led bloc should Trump seize the island by force.

RIGHT. Peace initiatives by the twice-elected German head of state were rejected by the Allies. They aimed to profit from World War II. Click picture for details.

The real reason many European leaders are hysterically opposed to any peace deal is simple. As long as the war continues, hundreds of billions in ‘aid’ keep flowing. Kickbacks remain hidden. Their corrupt networks stay safely shielded behind the fog of war.

The moment the guns fall silent, the money trail becomes visible. Many powerful people in Brussels, Berlin, Paris, and London know their gravy train ends. The investigations begin.

DEFINITION OF BLOOD-SUCKERS: ‘Senators who voted to attack Syria received more campaign money from military contractors. They received 83 per cent more than lawmakers who voted no.’
