US playing The New Order: Last Days of Europe and going for a Hermann Goring run
Context
It's an alt-history Hearts of Iron 4 mod. One of the paths for Germany is Hermann Goring becoming the chancellor, in which case he turns the country's entire economy into a Ponzi scheme that can only be maintained through constant expansion and plunder. There's no way to win on this path - either one of your invasions stalls long enough to implode your economy, or your only remaining targets are nuclear powers, invading whom triggers a nuclear holocaust.Nazi economy was basically a ponzi scheme already in real life.
It was five minutes before economic collapse every tuesday.
It was cannibal economy, at first they cannibalised state and collective property by privatisation, then they cannibalisd Jewish property by so called "aryanisation", finally they cannibalised conquered Poland and USSR. They couldn't even thought nor do anything else, they arrived at the most rotting stage of imperialism right from the start.
