Viva La Revolución

[LDN Blue 7,903]

First Tunisia and now Egypt. People are now waking up around the world and activating their "right to democracy" by uniting to push out their puppet governments! Have a huge amount of respect for the students who started the wave in Tunisia, and for the people who carried on in Egypt!

Better to die standing, than to live on your knees.

World War 3 is on it's way.

World War 3 is on it's way.

Yup. In other words, the new world order is on his way.

Not forgetting Yemen, Algeria and Syria!

The old puppet governments will be replaced by new puppet governments or else the countries will be isolated. Sure more freedom in the Arab world is a step in the right direction but you gotta question the freedom that the people of the west enjoy.

Agreed. Though the act of revolution is inspiring and as we see, it's having an effect on other countries. The puppets being replaced by others is a valid point though, one just needs to look back on Tunisia now,

Even in the 70's with the Cuban Missile Crisis & The Cold War*

*American propaganda war.

I actually wonder whether it will affect some European states. The way I see things there really is not way up for the PIIGS in the foreseable future and eventually desperation may lead to revolutions.

The sooner the Eurozone is abolished and the Euro is dissolved, the better. I was in favour of letting Ireland bankrupt themselves, so they could rebuild their economy themselves. Now they're at the mercy of the IMF and thus, America.

Why would you want that?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Why would you want that?

The Euro has been one of the main factors we're seeing these Eurozone countries collapse, I remember reading how even from the beginning it was doomed to fail. I don't oppose having a European Union because it's good for trade, but the Eurozone (thus Euro) is something that is clearly not working and needs to be taken out of Europe now.

I think if the Eurozone wasn't there to keep us in this "walking dead" state we'd probably go begging to the US and they'd have done pretty much the same.

Back to the Arab states, if those revolutions trigger a chain reaction they along with the whole MiddleEast will get out of their Dark Ages sooner than expected.

No. Euro is good and good for trading as you mention it.

What is bad is small minimum wages in some countries.

Then the recession took its toll. At the end it also matters how companies are run. Some survived it quite successfully, some didn't.

Perhaps. But I fear an American intervention will just see more and more puppet leaders emerge, oil prices are taking a bad hit as it is over the trouble in Egypt

The EU is good for trade, the Euro itself I believe is not a great currency, it's been failing for a while and the only reason it's still about is because millions is being pumped into it to keep it just about stable. The real inflation levels of it must be awful and I personally believe if countries return to their own currency it'll be better in the long run.

I was only born in 1990 so this is the first time i'v been sure and I will be right!

Just watch it move to the richer Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia and oil prices will soar causing chaos in the West.
