I expect the US to send a preditor or two maybe if the dust doesn't settle soon.
Russia might step catching someone off guard.
Most of Africa will probibly try to stay neutral, cause they are #%$@ if USA, North and south Korea all points their guns at them. Or even one of them.

It's a big currency - if it fails (and it looks like it might still) then it will have bad effects world wide, even for countries who aren't in it.
On the other hand, in order to make it work, they will probably have to unify taxation and public spending across the whole euro zone, effectively creating a superstate via the back door. Which could be very nasty indeed...
Lose - lose situation, it seems!

It could lead to civil disobedience, nationalism and even war.

We already have civil disobedience - and nationalism, and its browner brother national socialism[^] seems to get more support than it has in over 70 years.

Give up. The euro is stuffed. It was a dumb idea in the first place. Which currencies will suffer? I don't think so. The great thing about the euro is that nobody else cares.

I've got a gut feeling the euro will go belly up, the good thing will be cheap holidays to Spain, Greece and Portugal. Time to dig up the old currencies lying in my drawers (Paseta, Drachma, Escudo).

That's my gut reaction as well. The hassle is that the holidays may be cheap, but chances are we won't have any money to spend on them either!

No euro way, unless they accept that straight bananas are as good as curved bananas.

As 2011 was my annus horribilis, I am definitely much more optimistic about 2012. It can only go better after everything I went through in 2011.

Yes, need some time to tell that.

Approximately a year, right?

I expect war and revolution; too bad we neither reject fiat currencies nor stop the tax on income and assets. History teaches us the cycles and repeats itself unfortunately; will we ever learn?

If we did, we wouldn't have repeating cycles.

I'm always as optimistic as I can be.

Excuse me for my improper grammar and typos.
It's because English is my primary language, not my first language.
My first languages are C# and Java.
VB, ASP, JS, PHP and SQL are my second language.
Indonesian came as my third language.
My fourth language? I'm still creating it, I'll let you know when it's done!

what is optimistic : "Expecting or presenting the best possible outcome"
so if we want to be a BEST then we have to target it and move towards the goal.
human being is not satisfy ever with things he has, he wants more and more always.
so i think everyone will be more optimistic than previous year.
Happ New Year to all CP'ans
Rating always..... WELCOME
