“There is no economy in the world, whether low-income countries, emerging markets, middle-income countries or super- advanced economies that will be immune to the crisis that we see not only unfolding, but escalating at a point where everybody would actually have to focus on what it can do,” Lagarde said. If the international community doesn’t work together, “the risk from an economic point of view is that of retraction, rising protectionism, isolation,” Lagarde said. “This is exactly the description of what happened in the ‘30s and what followed is not something we are looking forward to.” [Bloomberg]

France is setting the stage for the next phase in warfare… the preemptive surrender.
Great, now we get to see Merkel marching through Paris on the History Channel for the next century.
Jesus christ I hate you so much.

Good call on the Maginot line.

I double-dog-dare you to say that again.
Technically I still am.

Honi soit qui mal y pense
I believe you may be confusing the von Schlieffen Plan with the Manstein Plan, mein Herr.
WW III will still have Germany being the bad guys. And afterwards, they'll still build themselves up to be a great economic power. Maybe by WW IV Europe will start to use their business model?
-Guy that's 1/4 German……and 1/4 french
Dieu et mon droit!

The other 2/3 must be idiot because you clearly can't have a whole continent of exporters, you moran.

Thats what your pediatrician says
Moran, the other 1/2 was Irish ?
You can say "We're going to rip your face off whenever we can" and then rip the client's face off. If you say "We are going to execute at the best rate of the day" and then you execute at the worst rate of the day, that is a lie, and you are not supposed to lie to a client. BK and STT are going to have to write some very large checks and going forward their business is going to have lower profit margins, but if they are very lucky nobody will get indicted for criminal fraud.
That wasn't my fault, that was DB's fault.
We need to plant trees along all the highways. Germans like to march in the shade.
Funny thing. After WWII, there were no Nazis in Germany and all of the French had been in the Resistance. You just had to ask them.
I'd hit your mother.
I see what you did there
this whole euro crises is so silly, especially 'defending the euro'. the smart thing any country, or continent wants is for their currency to fall to help manufacturing, jobs, revenues, balance of payments, important things like that. you only want it strong so you can take nice vacations, maybe buy foreign stock/houses, things like that, luxuries. its obvious they should let the euro/dollar drop from 1.3 back to .8, where it used to be.
Good post!
fortify? looks like she's given up already. She looks like she's practising russian roulette in that picture
There is no “I” in teamwork, unless you are French and spell it incorrectly (“timwork”)
DSK slept my way to the top.
Do I have a mark right here? Not here, or here, but riiiight here?
I don’t want to get serious on this thread which has a hard-on for wild sex with Lagarde -but- the OECD, ObamaBlagojevich, and more I’m sure, just floated ‘the slowdown’ existential threat, in the past week. Then Christine appears with +/- 200degrees. There has got to be an investment available now which will explode like Roubini’s hottub in one/two years. What is it?
She looks like Magda from Something About Mary.
Liked it.
Nicholas Sarkozy is a Tivoli?
