Re: Anglo Disease at Fever Point? (4.00 / 4)

'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.)

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.

Perhaps the missiles were made during Soviet times.
