“World War III May Have Already Begun”, Pope Francis Warns

While we doubt the pope is much of a trader, based on his latest comments, speaking during a visit to Italy’s largest military cemetery, where he was commemorating the centenary of World War I and where he said that a “piecemeal” World War III may have already begun, we assume he too would join the confusion of the BIS and every other carbon-based life form, wondering how it is possible that risk assets are at all time highs which the world is not only teetering on the edge of a new global conflict but may have already in fact entered it. Oh wait, the central banks, never mind.

But back to the pope. From BBC:
A “piecemeal” World War III may have already begun with the current spate of crimes, massacres and destruction, Pope Francis has warned. “War is madness,” the Pope said at a memorial to 100,000 Italian soldiers at Redipuglia cemetery near Slovenia. The Argentine Pope has often condemned the idea of war in God’s name.
