The USA has just about sunk itself by supporting Israel no-matter what ! When the Israelis grab land, then build settlements on it etc. all the USA can do is offer pathetic pleas not to. The USA should stop behaving like Israel's bully boy and dump them when they next misbehave. It just shows...

He has bugged out at a critical moment. But it is just as well, he doesn't seem to have realised the whole eurozone is fatally flawed. The smaller members can't keep up and should drop out as quickly as possible. In return for propping up their economies the Germans are demanding more control...

The proof of the pudding as they say is success. OK so which country is currently the most successful ? Answer China with its 1 party state. Sad but true. All the western free-wheelers are just creating chaos as they fight for a decreasing slice of the cake. Put too many rats in a cage and the...

I can't really see silver taking off. It looks nice when someone takes the trouble to clean it but it isn't a must-have industrial metal and never will be.
