[quote=gatorinla;6160779]i am not eu bullish... what i am has bias, as does what most others think..
its no secret i think the euro will crash and burn. its no secret i think there will be other future European wars. its no secret other countries like GB with highly leveraged bets on the euro will suffer in my bias.

Thats a pretty bold statement, if you were to have a punt which countries in europe would you say ( guess ) will go to war

its not that bold. with hundreds of wars in the past in Europe. it is probably less bold then those saying, "there will not be one". the myth of a common currency is just that. gold at one time was a common currency. and we had those hundreds of wars then. where i dont know.. Turkey seems like a good place to start.

Germany, Austria and Italy are standing together in the middle of a pub when Serbia bumps into Austria and spills Austria’s pint. Austria demands Serbia buy it a complete new suit because there are splashes on its trouser leg. Germany expresses its support for Austria’s point of view. Britain recommends that everyone calm down a bit.
Serbia points out that it can’t afford a whole suit, but offers to pay for the cleaning of Austria’s trousers. Russia and Serbia look at Austria. Austria asks Serbia who it’s looking at. Russia suggests that Austria...
they would hang you here for that one. they are bit more civilized then i.

so was a cow or a grain of rice and thats when wars were fought tribe like from one village to the next how far do you want to go back, I think things have moved on a great deal from them days, common currency and a common army ( maybe ) might even be built within the eu - I'm not a fan of europe purely because I'm slightly old school and worked in banking fx when we had individual currencies but that in itself isnt a great reason haha more selfish adding more charts to the portfolio - Turkey are you joking, they might look east or south but never west it would never happen gator theres probably more sting in their chilly sauce on a donor kebab

why's that then?
first off the u.s. was challenged under declaration of war by the Germans and Italians, first. We didn't wait for shit. It wasn't our fight. We got in after attacked by Japan. And then in Europe, after War was declared on the U.S. Before the U.S. fired a shot toward Germany.

At this point France had given up, and German was the second language.
Britain was land locked waiting on u.s. supply boats. And being bombed each night w/o a defense.

in 1926 (i think 1926) this man was court court-martialed
in 1926 he expressed an opinion that the Japanese would attack the U.S. Well documented in the court-martial papers. He also predicted airplanes attacking battleships could sink them. Long before the U.S. had a Air-force branch.
he did this in 1926, 15 years before Pearl Harbor.

had the Germans not attacked Russia. Or the Japanese the U.S., Things would have turned out different. China a Japanese colony. Germany could have waited for Russia. It was easier to defend the front, then fight it.
