Fresh credit strains in Europe as Deutsche Bank shocks markets Yet more signs that, as bad as some things look in the US, it is palpably worse everywhere else. Can the EU survive?

Yes, because the fundamentals of its economy are strong [8\|] . (Honestly: how can it not survive? What do you think will happen, Armaggedon?)

What do you think will happen, Armaggedon Considering the stance Germany has taken with respect to the situation of other EU members, considering the reluctance or perhaps incapacity of the ECB to rescue insolvent banks within the Eurozone, considering the very real scenario that the nations' respective central banks are not large enough to rescue the largest banks, there are some definite fissures appearing in the EU. Consider Angela Merkel's (German Chancellor) finance minister Peer Steinbrück, and his denunciation of other EU nations' recession responses as "crass Keynesianism." Consider sentiments appearing in British media of a "bullying Germany." If EU member nations put self-interest ahead of EU interest, then, yes, the future of the EU is very much in doubt. Armageddon? No, not exactly. But not a pax Europa, either.

Deutsche Bank has a lot of bad loans here. We have a lot of properties owned by them because they foreclosed.

Jim Cramer said that Europe needs to "raise it's rates."

Deutsche has many differnt entities under the umbrella, with Deutsche Bank National Trust Company being the largest presence here in the states. DBNT is the largest trustee of the MBS. They lead the country in number of foreclosed properties. They also lead the country in class action suits against them (at least in terms of foreclosing trustees with class actions). Uncle Nasty

Agreed that the EU is in serious trouble and that the EU could become another bottomless pit for the US.

Yep. WW1, WW2, The Marshall Plan, The Cold War, ....it would seem that the Europeans are now way overdue on their squealing for help routine. . The US should view AIG with some alarm.

Hmmmm. If only they hadnt gotten involved in those varieties of frauds, cons and scams as were concocted in Wall Street over the last decade or so eh? BUT. All of us on both sides of the Atlantic need to be careful with this sniping. It is because we stand together that we are strong and we control the world. If we go down the route of division, we allow in exactly those parties for whom a disunited west would be a result they could hitherto have only dreamt of. And contrary to some views, the US is in no position to "save Europe" or any such similar nonsense; the US is bankrupt. As indeed is Europe once the truth starts to come out over the coming few months of 09 of the degree of involvement in the scams, cons and frauds concocted on Wall Street. The real problem is that we have allowed - on both sides - a bunch of scammers, con artists and fraudsters in designer suits to do what they have done. We have to destroy them and the whole culture of shallow appearance, fast talk and immediate gratification that allowed them to do that - and return to things of real substance. E

There was some reporting in the Telegraph that France's finance minister pretty much begged Paulson to bail out AIG, for fears of what an AIG collapse would do to European finance. It seems that European banks are more heavily leveraged than American banks, and are at greater exposure to the bursting of housing bubbles worldwide.

No, I don't think the crashing of our ridiculous game called "the economy" will bring jesus, nor the 4 horses, nor the lakes of fire. It'll just bring chaos, war, and mass die-offs. Yay!
