=Martin Armstrong’s 2025–2026 War Cycle Prediction=

==Overview==
Martin Armstrong, a well-known economist and creator of the Socrates computer model, appeared on The Alex Jones Show on July 22, 2025. During the interview, Armstrong outlined an extremely pessimistic outlook for global stability, based on his long-running AI-driven forecasts. He specifically predicted a sharp escalation in global conflict beginning in August 2025, leading into a major war cycle in 2026.

==Armstrong’s Background==
Armstrong is recognized for developing advanced computer models that track global capital flows and historical war cycles. His forecasting system, Socrates, has been cited for its past accuracy in predicting economic downturns, sovereign debt crises, and geopolitical shifts.

==Key Points from the Interview==

* Armstrong states his computer model shows a “panic cycle” on the yearly level in war, something he’s never seen before.
* He predicts '''major escalation will start from August 2025 onward''', referencing “next week” as the start of a new phase (relative to the July 22, 2025 broadcast date).
* 2026 is highlighted as a critical “war year” by his model, with a high risk of nuclear confrontation.
* Armstrong is blunt in his assessment: he sees “no hope for de-escalation” under current Western leadership and urges people to “plan on nuclear war.”
* He connects the escalation to deep systemic problems in Western economies (especially Europe), arguing that governments are using war as a last resort to maintain power and financial stability.

==Selected Quotes==

<blockquote>
“…the computer is showing what we call a panic cycle for next year which I've never seen a panic cycle on the yearly level in war. So, it's showing that escalation should start from next week going up…”
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
“Can they avoid nuclear war? Can we avoid nuclear war at this point?”  
[Armstrong:] “Not with the people we have in power. Simple as that. … People should plan on nuclear war. Plan it. Look, this is coming.”
</blockquote>

==Context and Implications==
Armstrong’s warnings stand out for their specificity and severity. Unlike typical analysts, he relies on historical cycles and capital flow analysis rather than personal opinions. His prediction of escalation beginning August 2025 and culminating in a possible nuclear conflict in 2026 is intended to sound the alarm on the dangers of current global policy trajectories.
