The US is bankrupt since 44 years .. i don't know why no one realizes that any country will slowly go bankrupt. This is inherent to the system. Prices will go up and up until a crisis sets in, and then it's all set for a recession, for war, or a monetary reform without the first two. Printing of more paper money does not help in the long run.

When England leaves the EU, one of the first things will be that real estate prices will fall, and badly. I have heard in London a 12 m2 garage was recently sold for 240,000 [!] Pounds. This only works as long as long as banks vouch for that, and that special bank is covered by EU-backed banks .. in the long run after a Brexit the prices will become more reasonable again, but we are talking 50 and more years here. And people will lose their private money, too. Lehman brothers and the chain reaction following was a good example.

All real estate is completely overrated, not only in the UK of course.
But in that case it's the involved banks own greed and guilt, and not something to blame on the EU.

Tensions really boiled over on the Greece-Macedonia border where migrants tore down the wall and the Macedonian police fired tear gas into the group and re-welded the wall.

http://www.rferl.org/media/video/mac.../27580680.html
(I know, I know, radio free europe sounds less credible than fox news, but the video is genuine)


The Macedonians declared they will only allow daily quotas for entry in accordance to those of the rest on the Balkan migrant route.
They're mostly ignored by Europe but they're still team players.

Really glad to see a muslim running through Moscow's streets yelling "Allahu Akbar!" - while holding the severed head of a child.
That creates a nice contrast to all the Buddhist psychopaths roaming the streets... oh wait.

Well, just another unfortunate and isolated incident.
Move along. Nothing to worry about.
La-Ilaha-Illallah!
(just practicing...)

Cynicism aside, I don't even know what to say.
The parents must be done for life. How does one recover from this?
"Sorry, your daughter is dead. Your nanny cut her head of and then showed it around in the streets of Moscow, citing her holy book."

Ugh.

It's already beginning to look that way. I wonder if Trump will have a few bricks left over for us from that big wall he says he is going to build?

Nope, he will need them for us, when we try to flee from what have been our countries once.

Two days ago, Merkel, this former Eastgerman youth organisation FdJ's chief secretary for agitation and propaganda, was allowed in a one-hour talkshow to endlessly say that she will not change anything and bla and solidarity and blabla and Europeans and blablabla.

So far nothing unexpected.

Really depressing is that after that broadcast her approval rates have started to significantly grow again. Many Germans again run around with starry eyes. Halleluja, all is saved.

Any thoughts as to why she is pushing so hard for her immigration policy? Besides ticking people off what the heck is her motivation?

Large ethnic German populations in Minnesota, the Dakotas, Idaho and Texas. I'm sure they would welcome some German refugees.

I have absolutely no idea. Maybe it's just because she can't accept that she's made a huge mistake.

No doubt!
Trump on the other hand... you'll never know.

*sigh*
So I need a green card after all.
Wait. Someone of you Americans here got a daughter ~25-35, good looking, not fallen on the head, not afraid of Germans? Just... asking.
