A short KoW comment by David Betz that takes imagination - in my case - to follow. Citing a German source:Link:http://kingsofwar.org.uk/2012/01/guns-not-butter/1. If Greece gets the next big (80 billion Euro) tranche of IMF-EU bailout moulah in March; then,
2. it will be able to conclude a whole bunch of new defence contracts including, inter alia, new Eurofighter jets, frigates from France, submarines from Germany, and Apache helicopters from the USA.
He's also written a wider comment on the world economy, with many valid points beyond money. This is only a taster:Link:http://kingsofwar.org.uk/2012/01/ple...ut-the-bubbly/If you’ve read a newspaper lately you’ll have seen ample evidence that no one has the faintest idea how to deal with simultaneously:
a credit bubble
a bond bubble
a real estate bubble and a farmland bubble
a commodities bubble, and
several currency bubbles.
(Plus a higher education bubble?)
