How Trade Wars Can Lead to Real Wars - Paul Warburg



Trump's trade war with China is now in full swing, with no signs of letting up. Both nations are placing heavy tariffs on each other, leading to a state of economic warfare as each tries to destroy the other. The question on everyone's mind is, could it lead to an actual war, perhaps even World War 3?

While it's a dramatic question, it's worth asking given similar events throughout human history. In this video, I examine the psychological, emotional, and other effects of trade wars and show how they often do lead to real, shooting wars. Then I give my opinion on whether the United States and China are on the warpath.
