> The big question is: who's going to get wiped, and what will that mean?

The end of democracy, that's what all of this is about and why we've seen so many of the super rich build private bunkers or buy entire private islands, talking about shock collars for their staff to keep them from rising up. They're preparing.

You shall own nothing and rent everything, and the easiest way to achieve that is to wipe out everyone's retirement savings.

> Chip producers (Tiawan SK) will also get burned.

They'll be fine. They already got paid, and if the AI bubble crashes, there's years of pent up consumer demand just waiting for affordable slots at the chip fabs.

> Basically the USA will be looking at a great depression.

The US is looking at a return to medieval times. Rich elites lording over the poor masses.

Alternatively, we'll see World War 3. It's notable enough that most countries have slowly risen the temperature on disaster preparedness, even those not in direct line of fire of Russia.
