I didn't talk about attack/bombing the country I was talking about taking a part of that country by force. Countries that didn't recognized Kosovo are the countries that have similar issues, like Spain for example. Turkey and Greece have issues between them over the Cyprus and that the reason why Greece didn't recognized it, and the fact that they are both Orthodox Christians, and Turkey recognized it because Kosovo has mainly Muslim population.

Spain supported the bombing campaign verbally, although they didn't participated in it physically. Greece, on the other hand opposed the bombing. And dozens of Greek volunteers served in Kosovo on the Serbian side (alongside volunteers from Russia, Bulgaria, Georgia and Armenia).

Found an interesting article that debunks the vast majority of the video:  http://anotherangryvoice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/moneyweek-and-their-end-of-britain.html

Looks like Moneyweek has about as much journalistic integrity as Newsweek and should be derided equally.

Right, that thing about attempted doxing of satoshi by Newsweek was pretty terrible both in principle and in how it turned out for them.  I guess we can start to see that many of these old-school commercial magazines work with a similar MO.

If you really consider it, Britain is the "British Isles" which will be existing for quite a long time no matter what government(s) is/are installed there.  In that context, the end of Britain won't be happening until some huge changes in plate techtonics go down.  BTC won't really have an effect Smiley

Wrong topic name, this should be named "The end of United Kingdom". Britain is still Britain even without Scotland or Wales...

But USA is kinda safe for now, and they need countries in Europe not to be stable...
Texas provides a large part of the GDP and not so happy about it.

If you open the Pandora box then please have Brains to figure out bad things are going to happen to you and not only to other countries.... USA with the help of friends did that with Kosovo, now many countries will follow. Just think why some countries didn't recognized it, mostly countries that have similar problems as Serbia did.

The US, Turkey and UK were the only NATO members who wanted to bomb Serbia. The other members such as Germany, Italy and France were unwilling to engage in Kosovo.

That is why I said for now. If I remember right there were talks about California leaving the USA and going for "solo" but i might be wrong. But USA opened the box, so we can only sit and watch if it will turn to bite them in the ass...

The breakdown of UK will happen part by part.... First the Scots will secede. Then Northern Ireland will decide to breakaway from the Union, and merge with Ireland. Wales will be the next one. Isle of Man, Cornwall and the Channel islands will follow.

I'm of the view that Scotland will not secede. Without the pound, and without membership of the EU, Scotland would find it very tough going.

And there's precisely no chance of NI rejoining the Republic any time soon. As for Wales...well...who cares? Smiley

It is functionally impossible for Britain to suffer a Greek style collapse. It is impossible for a country that controls its own currency.

You're right, it won't be a Greek style collapse. It will be a peculiarly British collapse. The only tool Britain has (and this applies doubly to the US) to reduce the debt is to devalue the currency, inflating the debt to nothingness.

I will be glad of my Satoshis when that happens Smiley

Fool, haven't you heard of hyperinflation? If it can happen to America it can happen to the UK as well.

Sounds challenging.  Maybe I should use my discretion and not watch this one Smiley

Could you give us an idea on what it is all about?

It is about how Britain had fallen badly into financial debts. And after watching this makes me want to leave UK and move to another country.  Tongue

Those infomercials are way too long...

And really fucking dull. I love how at the beginning they claim to have spent a lot of money on research and on the presentation, then they just show you something a highschooler could've knocked up on powerpoint in class.

Those infomercials are way too long...

Actually it is a remake or another video by them as well. But the last version was a lot better, at least there was some chart and graphic to look at. This one is just subtitle.

There's a few graphs. So why did you share this exactly?  Grin
