'Wall St Disease' might be a catchier title.

But anyway - this isn't just a financial crisis. Now that Venezuela has thrown out the US ambassador, this is going to mean a huge military realignment around the world. Expect Soviet missiles to start appearing in Central America soon.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Venezuela start demanding oil payments in gold too. (Or possibly bread and chickens.)

Perhaps the missiles were made during Soviet times.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
