As tensions boil over between North Korea and the US, an economic meltdown is inevitable and set to hit in the next six months, according to Jim Rickards, an author and adviser to the US Department of Defence.

He believes the next financial crisis is set to be even bigger than the 2008 collapse - and too huge for even central banks to cope with as World War 3 threatens to break out.

The best-selling Currency Wars author is convinced a North Korea-US war is looming after comments by US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

Mr Rickards told the Big Money Questions show: "A war between the United States and North Korea in the next six months… that is the avalanche causing a bigger avalanche.

"I don't say that lightly, this will be the most horrific war, bloodiest war, at least since Vietnam."

It comes as Kim Jong-un continues to provoke fury from Mr Trump with nuclear missile testing.

The UN has now passed tougher sanctions on North Korea in an effort to pressure Kim Jong-un to stop testing nuclear bombs.

And the US Treasury Secretary has now said that if China does not enforce sanctions, the US is prepared to deny China access to the US dollar payments system - and this points to war, according to Mr Rickards.

He said: "In financial warfare terms, that's the equivalent of an h-bomb."

The author added: "The US would not have taken such an extreme financial war posture vis-a-vis China, unless we were prepared to go to war with North Korea."

Investors are too complacent and war is not priced into the markets, Mr Rickards warned.

Savers and households should now be looking at protecting themselves from the looming storm.
Mr Rickards said ordinary people should now be looking at selling out of stock markets and buying gold and hoarding cash.
He said: "These are the safe haven assets - when the war breaks out, I would expect this before the middle of 2018, this is not a three year problem - this is six to eight month problem."
