Very heavy, Plaid Avenger - making sense of a mad, mad, mad world indeed. But wait, isn’t this really just a turning of the wheel? The power shift has been making waves around the globe, now the cycle completes itself as the East rises triumphantly on the horizon yet again. Lets all learn Mandarin, quickly!
In response to the comments made about Iceland borrowing money from Russia prior to asking for European Loans simply is not true. About 3 weeks ago and extensive broadcast done by the BBC was on that very issue. It was noted several times that Iceland, needing such a large sume of money, was turned away by most western countries because they simply did not have the money to back it. Iceland would have become bankrupt as a COUNTRY (which would have been hella bad) and so they turned to Russia as a last resort.
