France may sell the Mistrals to China (meaning Russia).
The Kings of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain "Decline" to attend Obama's Camp David Summit citing "Busy Schedules". (Diplospeak for "uhh... No.")
Russia giving Greece an out to call the EU/IMF's bluff on Greek Debt. (With Citi/Allianz being the most exposed to it.)
How soon until Obama announces the "bailout" of Greece?
Hooboy - half of my retirement was with Allianz. My money guy moved me out of it two years ago but I was never entirely sure he wasn't overreacting. Looks like I owe him a beer. BTT
Asking Greece to be a banking partner is like co-signing a loan for your meth-head brother in law.
You know the EU is going to be pissed off about this move.
Expect a major war very soon.
We all should pray to God that some how through Divine providence and discernment we can turn this situation around.
