Re: <nettime> A scenario for World War III

[Matze Schmidt <matze.schmidt@n0name.de>]

Let me add and relativize: the PIGS
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/PIIGSmap.png/300px-PIIGSmap.png)
are in deep debts of the FRG. Greece's political=financial/economical
system will be soon taken over by German capital interests (no joke and
no old hat: see Deutsche Bank) since Greece has debts into the billions
to German lenders. To sum it up shortly in the logic of economic
striving according to the horizon of the preceding postings, the one who
will lead the european part of a possible WW will be Germany. EURO,- or
not, a splitting up of the German-lead EUROzone will cause what we maybe
can only compare with the situation before 1933 with an almost bankrupt
German Reich. A bitter pic.
