@mnandii see the nuclear stock piles in the world here:

If there is an inkling of war, most nations will mobilise resources and make nuclear weapons in no time. Countries like South Korea, Japan, Brazil and Japan may not have nuclear weapons now but i belief can mobilise fast.

Mr. Kihanya, is an engineer or mathematician so must be talking about physical destruction of the world. I am speaking from a social economic point of view.

The issue with Syria and Iran is very sensitive.Some months back a Chinese general and also a Russian general said they world declare world war 3 if Iran is attacked by US and/or Israel. When I get the links I'll post them. People who want to wage wars should be at the forefront not calling shots from behind that way they will leave the people who want to leave peacefully behind.

this is alarmist and would best be referred as post hoc, ergo prompter hoc. Just because a world war followed the great depression does not become a credible base to argue that every depression will always be followed by a world war.

stagflation: a case of high unemployment rates and high inflation rates as was the case with Zimbabwe.

Are kenyan youth actively seeking employment opportunities? Yes, but most of them do not have skills to offer. That is why they are so easily recruited by alshabab, Mungiki and MRC infidels.

Do we risk running high inflation rates like zimbabwe? No. We have adequate monetary and fiscal policies to take care of inflation. The problem is finding an optimal rate of inflation that will not hurt the economy while not contracting our total output.

Interestingly, the media has misled the public to belief that inflation is bad for the economy. While this perception is not entirely untrue, it is incomplete. Unemployment rate and inflation rate share an inverse relationship. Therefore, reducing inflation to very low rates is likely to result in increased cyclical unemployment as workers are laid off by their employers due to decreased returns.

The challenge we face is understanding our sources of inflation and responding decisively. For example, if the inflation is caused by increased demand of good and services, aggregate supply will have to be increased which would result in reduced unemployment.
