The developed countries are on the defensive. FIRST: Europe's Case. While Japan have all those Asians to keep it afloat and lots of distortions on the economy that if undistorted (See Post Office sale that will free 340 trillion yen trillion over a decade) can keep them going, the same cannot be said for Europe and the US. Europe have relied on expansion to create new captive markets, get cheaper goods and services and implement laws to ensnare the new comers not to compete head on with them. But they have implemented ZERO economic reforms. There in lies the trouble! On top of that they've ran out of acceptable newcomers: See Turkey which is to big and indigest to swallow. They would have to gobble Turkey, Romenia, Ukraine and Russia to keep themselves alive. But how? Force feed those 80.000 laws they forced Slovenia, Malta and Cyprus into Putin throat. Now "it is time for the Jaguar drink water" says. (A country that enters the EU needs to implmenet those 80K laws, which gives a lot of money for legal advisers from the countries that are old members) How are they going to tell those employees int heir feather beds that they will never ever going to see the type of work conditions they have had until 2000? How are they going to cope with declining living standards? How is the populace going to react seeing the caliber of their leaders? Germany is a case in point. But watch Italy trying to boot Berlusconi out. How is someone going to tell the UK people that it was Thatcherism it was 30 years of North Sea oil that kept the Uk aloat. You call these interesting times?? I call them fucking exciting :-)
