CW2 Ping

“Obama knows a strike on Iran by Israel will create a regional war and a global economic meltdown that America will have to clean up,” Riedel said.

Since any global economic meltdown is pretty sure to cause an "interesting" cascade of social meltdown in the USA, I'm pinging the CW2 list.

This means there are now two imminent disasters ready to trigger a "global economic meltdown," the Middle East and the European Monetary Union/Euro crisis.

I wonder if some synergy between the two will precipitate some even greater risk? Like two hurricanes colliding.

The combination of the two is a recipe for a partial, if not a complete, civilizational collapse.

The assassination of Francisco Franco and the invasion of Poland don’t have shit on the firestorm that’s going to engulf this planet when the shoe drops.

I look at it more like a cataclysmic collision of galaxies rather than hurricanes. No one will be spared, but those who make it out of the rubble will be able to start anew.
