You seem to be confusing the leadership in europe with that of nazi germany. Whenever some fool on the left does this with the US leadership, he is rightly roasted by people with more sense.

The topic was about the irish exposure to the US economy (with a lot of juvenile pokes at the US leadership thrown in). I was pointing out that actually, yes, the Irish economy is badly exposed and any shocks to the US economy would indeed be very bad for ireland. The topic of US over-exposure to debt is not a fiction, it is something that worries many decent economists.

Your worry that this article is a pointer to a future war with Europe is indeed paranoid and delusional.

Straw Man, and off topic..again. Actually, Nevil Chamberlin comes to mind more than Adolph. Adolph was at least a competent socialist

The topic of your original post on this thread had nothing to do with Irish exposure to the US economy, or US debt. Those pointa really aren't in contention, although the author confuses consumer debt with T-bills, but whatever.

The point in contention is whether the editorial slant of this author would lead to an armed conflict between the US and Europe. History, and the Public sentiment of the European Left (US Most dangerous Rogue State, EU needs to militarily counter ect) bares out my point. If we are a threat to global peace and prosperity, it is only the lack of will on Europe to do something about it. Chamberlin, not Hitler.
