Aug 02nd, 2011 - 10:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0well done? what are you talking about Sergio. Both aren't worried about muslim terrorists at all. They are worried what will happen if their people do not accept their Austerity measures, so they can bailout their banks that are in trouble that are linked to other banks who they should pay (German, French, UK, US, Dutch). They are worried that EU will tell them that they need more austerity measures than what they discuss to “save” their nation. Will spain and Italy have the destiney like Greece? Yes. Why? the credit agencies again, they will down grade them to JUNK status and boom. both are on sale (sell everything what already paid for to pay the debt and become a slave for the rest of your life).

This is funny. Remember some countries that never could overcome Britain? France, Germany, Italy, Spain. What's the main ethnic origin of argentina? Oh, I remember. Italy and Spain. Where did German Nazis run to? Argentina. What rat runs did they use? Italy and Spain. How is Argentina best remembered? Screwing up their money and attacking defenceless neighbours.

Wouldn't be so sure briton thse things can have a domino effect. I think not being in the euro helps our case.

interesting thought,
“france and germany are wasting billions on them, and they are spending billions and billions of french and german money, how long can it go on,”
Aug 03rd, 2011 - 06:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0France is France, but it's about Germany. Germany has deep pockets and this crisis works for them perfectly (European debt crisis= Lower Euro that helps their exports to compete head to head with China). Though the German people will bitch about inflation, and when it gets worse, the Germans will step out of the Euro and go back to their strong Deutsche Mark and bye bye Euro.
