There is a superb history book aboiut the link between economy, military spending and state of a nation: Paul Kennedy: "The Rise and Fall of the great Powers. Economic Change and Military Conflict 1500-2000".
Great book indeed.

I just think present situation has other factors also. But searching what to blame just becomes irrelevant, when people have to survive trough this. I spent last day sitting down with my father and brother, talking honestly about each others economic situation. We made plans and promised to support each other if need be. This was just in case, because people, do not underestimate the seriousnes of the situation. Do not keep large sums of money, atleast in the bank, keep cash home, trade it to something that keeps its value or make a long term investment(careful).
EU isnt immune and if i lived in US, i would prepare for the worst case scenario.
People take insurances normally from a company, but if you cant trust the company to even be around long, you have to create your own insurances. Food and other essentials, physical protection of lives and property(guns, security), something that doesnt loose value to trade with(gold is the best).
Now someone might laugh, but if the threat realizes itself, you will be the one laughing.
I just hope all the Subsim people get trough this and lets hope/pray that we get a small miracle, just dont leave it to just that.
