Lira, the EU has only been around 17 years. |
Yeah, but it developed out of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) that was founded in 1951. Greece joined the European Community 20 years later. |

It is probably the end of EU/eurozone as we know it, as it's now clear that some of the countries can't afford such a strong currency. The whole western world has lived beyond its means for a few decades, and what we're seeing is a collapse of that lifestyle. It is a continuation of the financial crisis that began in USA two years ago. The difference is that whole countries are bankrupt now, and Greece is first to go simply because corruption and irresponsible spending was most excessive there. Other countries will follow, and if EU falls apart, it will probably negatively affect USA as well.
However, I don't see this turning into a global war. We may see civil unrest comparable to what's happening in Athens right now, but nothing much more serious (I hope). There certainly will be pretty big economic, political changes, though. |

| Yeah, because America has totally been immune from financial problems hasn't it, cliffwad? Sub Prime? That's just another KFC special I'm sure. If we hadn't put money into ty american schemes, we might not be quite as bad off as we are, but we are and we'll deal with it in whatever way is necessary. You really don't have much clue about the eurozone though. |

Clearly he's bored of playing WWII video games & wants new content. |
Seriously, I claim license fees or something. WW2 accounts for like 50% of all video game content. Without the Nazis the whole gaming industry would be dead. And people still say they were evil and did nothing good, pah!!! :tongue3
PS: And who makes the most money from these games? Who controls the whole scheme? Right, the Jews! Take that as a mind!
PPS: Nou, stop making an idiot out of yourself. |
