Funny, I like that.
Or, how about the Canadians take back Alaska
By "Canadians" you mean "Russians", right?
This is exactly how things are going to Play out, inside USA

It is absolutely hilarious to me how you Americans quickly forget the whole point of the discussion
25 years ago USA DID NOT HAVE DEBT IT HAS NOW
25 years ago USA DID NOT OUTSOURCE everything to stinkin China etc
25 years ago USA was not in Iraq and Afghanistan
Have you any idea how much wars cost. I am talking about money here not about lives of people.
You talk about USSR, well they learned capitalism from EU and USA.
You talk about Chinese pegging of currency, and you think that's a weakness, that is their strength which they will use for as long as possible. You just keep watching CNN and listen to Bernanke and Obama
You just keep doing that Joe Smith
Quote from Misthos:
Why don't we all just admit that the global sovereign bond market, to a large degree, will just ultimately collapse?
What will the consequences of such an event be? Who knows. It's not just about economics - but geopolitics as well. Too many moving parts in the global marketplace to make even a close prediction.
But I can't see it ending well. That's as good of a prediction that I can make.
But, if I had to pick winners, it would be nations with abundant natural resources including energy, decent climate for food production that produces a surplus, and a strong military to protect those tangible benefits.
We will return to a world that measures its country's wealth not on the faith and credit of a country's BS financial system and FIRE economy, but in the REAL STUFF that can be grown, mined, or drilled from its soil. A military helps too - the bigger the better.
Just like Jim Rodgers once said - financial engineers should drive tractors. To which I would add - or swing a pick to mine, or carry a gun to defend. That's all that matters. Typing on a keybopard to earn an extravagant living will become more and more rare.
I agree... Good post..
You know how you can spot a loser
- Loser sees no problem with US dollar
- He sees no connection to rising Gold
- Loser supports wars in middle east
- Loser sees no connection between wars and fiscal situation
- He still thinks US debt is manageable
- And finally, loser loves denial, that is his religion.
If people actually read the Bible, they'd know Usury, ie paying exorbitant interest is a sin. They'd know invading other nations under false pretext is a sin. They'd know allowing corporations to put mercury in the drinking water is a sin. However no one reads the Bible, the opinions of the right wing media is their new Bible.
The problem is we are under the clutches of some of the filthiest, most vile, disgusting, evil critters on earth.
Who needs enemies when you have internal enemies like Bush, Cheney, Tom DeLay, Phil Gramm, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and the entire filthy swath of illiterate inbred right infestation of the southern states.
These vile creatures are now going to re-write the Bible because "it's too liberal".

Alaska was sold by the Russians to the US, via Seward...
