The EU Collapsing?




While America digs out from last weeks blizzards, in Europe they are about to be hit with a financial cataclysm of biblical proportions.

Collapse of the euro is 'inevitable': Bailing out the Greek economy futile, says FRENCH banking chief
The European single currency is facing an 'inevitable break-up' a leading French bank claimed yesterday.

Strategists at Paris-based Société Générale said that any bailout of the stricken Greek economy would only provide 'sticking plasters' to cover the deep- seated flaws in the eurozone bloc.

The stark warning came as the euro slipped further on the currency markets and dire growth figures raised the prospect of a 'double-dip' recession in the embattled zone.

Never mind that last week Chancellor Merkel of Germany and President Sarkozy of France pledged their support to Greece, that all quickly vanished as the reality and the magnitude of Greece's problems were revealed. Combined with the reality that France and Germany simply don't have the financial resources to save the failing Greek economy.

Obviously Angela Merkel doesn't adhere to the Obama philosophy of economic strategy, specifically the "too big to fail" part of the Obama administration economic game plan. President Sarkozy and Chancellor Merkel have previously let it be known that they would not buy into Obama's deficit spending solutions concerning the recession and their plans for their countries; therefore, this most recent turn of events and change ion attitudes should not be of any major surprise to anyone.

Merkel and the others are seeing the writing on the wall and making the conscious decision to let Greece and probably Spain and Portugal got down the tubes in the next few weeks. Especially if their failure means preserving the rest of the European economy.

And if the European Union and the Euro are to become casualties of the aftermath (and it looks like they will), then so be it. In the present state of economic affairs, Merkel and Sarkozy have taken a correct position in my opinion. In times like these (when socialism has reached it's tipping point in Europe) it is time to look at the principle of every man for himself. And that is exactly what Germany and France are doing right now.

The twist will come when the collapse happens (which will be soon IMO). After which watch as France and Germany and others in Europe, turn to America for support and expectations that the US taxpayer help to bail them out. I wonder? Will America finally be prepared to tell the rest of the world to bugger off as the Brits would say?

I say that will only occur once we too are completely bankrupt. Which shouldn't be long now based upon our current rate of deficit spending.

Watch closely over the next five years as the global economic paradigm shifts completely in favor of the Chinese and Muslim Asia. China holds our mortgage and they are learning how to twist those screws for their own political gains. Taiwan will fall and Israel's continued existence is truly in peril in my opinion.

As the old adage goes.....'follow the money.' Those that have it and those who can create it will prevail, while those who dive deeper into debtor nation status can only watch and wonder what happened.

In the course of a generation, America has gone from being the indisputable leader of the world, to a position where we are teetering on the edge of social and economic collapse and third world status.

Bible prophesy said it would happen and it is happening.

"China holds our mortgage and they are learning how to twist those screws for their own political gains". Yes, but they won't survive long enough toenjoy the fruits. There will be much more hardship soon with a looming Chinese collapse bigger than the Soviet Union's.

I just went to your blog and read extensively of your offerings and analysis. Let me say....you are thorough.

Based upon you analysis? Then what happens when China collapses. America either collapses or is so weak as to be economically ineffective globally. and the EU tanks bringing down the entire global economic net.

My tea leaves say 'war.' Another global war. Only this time, the land grab will be massive by Asia.
