Turkmenistan, the former Soviet republic, devalued its currency against the US dollar by 18% for the new year. Turkmenistan is energy-rich and this is the latest sign of seriousness of the collapse in oil. This will contribute to now force the dollar higher as commodities decline, the energy producing nations will be compelled to devalue their currencies in an effort to try to make ends-meet. Devaluations will result in an attempt to create inflation to offset the deflation. We are in a major economic collapse on a global scale. Most people do not understand that this is the real threat we face.

Turkmenistan Devalues Currency By 18%, Armstrong Warns Of “Economic Collapse On A Global Scale”
The energy-rich former Soviet republic of Turkmenistan Thursday devalued its currency against the US dollar by 18%, as AFP notes, in the latest sign of contagion among Russia’s neighbors from the plunging ruble (following Krgyzstan’s 17% plunge in 2014 and Kazakhstan’s 14% tumble). However, as Martin Armstrong warns, this is symptomatic of a deflationary contagion that “will contribute to now force the dollar higher… We are in a major economic collapse on a global scale. Most people do not understand that this is the real threat we face.”

I don’t know, I think oil importers will be fine.
They’ll be fine but they won’t be importing it into the U.S. when no one’s buying.
waiting for the collapse since 1999. I”m really disappointed. so many charlatans.
Agree. It’s very lazy, like Ferdinand The Bull. Teasing the collapse into action seems hard. Anyone has a stinging bee?
It’s rapidly going to shit, how can anyone think otherwise. Strap yourself in, this is it now!
