"A 'Financial H-Bomb' Has Exploded"
*"A 'Financial H-Bomb' Has Exploded"* by Jim Rickards "Somebody exploded an H-bomb last week, and it wasn’t North Korea. It was the U.S. This was not a kinetic H-bomb, the kind that leaves a mushroom cloud. It was a financial H-bomb. Financial warfare has its weapons, tactics and commanders, the same as kinetic warfare. In financial warfare, the leading commander is the secretary of the Treasury.
