Sources show Rickards presented a currency-war thesis in 2012, including a Feb 2012 video series and Carnegie talk describing a 'Currency War III' already underway, which supports the 14-year-old video outlining a financial war. No source identifies the specific video the post meant or confirms its match to the 2026 'current' war, so the 'right now' element is unverified.
What was said
… By the way, Steve, someone put a video out. I put it on my Twitter feed at or actually, you know, at James, sorry, at Real Jim Rickards. It's something I did 14 years ago, and I outlined the financial war that we're going through right now, so I'll take i'll take credit for sometimes it's so good. If you're too early, as people forget you said it, but if you want to know what's going on right now, go look at that 14-year-old video. It's amazing. What do you mean? …
Bannon`s War Room · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. A 2012 'Currency Wars' video series by James Rickards (1/5 posted Feb 2012) exists, matching the 'video 14 years ago' element.[1][2]
Supports. A February 2012 Carnegie Council talk by Rickards argues 'We are already in Currency War III,' describing a financial war in progress at the time.[3]
Supports. An October 2012 symposium summary says Rickards argued a fourth currency war was underway, consistent with outlining an ongoing financial war in 2012.[4]
Context. None of the sources identifies which specific video the post refers to or describes the present-day (2026) financial war, so the claim that the 2012 material matches the current conflict cannot be checked directly.
