Anyone really want to trust anything Iceland does? Didn't work out so well last time
Iceland has such a small, insular economy that its experience may not be terribly instructive to the outside.
That said, I believe if the financial bailout had focused more on the people with mortgages rather than the banks who lent them, it would have generate more aggregate demand in the economy.
Expect ISIS to attack Iceland in the near future... The Western Banksters won't tolerate this for very long.
Iceland Has Offered Foreign Bondholders A "Choice": Sell Now, Or Have Cash Impounded Indefinitely
How long until an attack on Iceland isn't because of this? Because ISIS has made it pretty clear everyone is on their list. so if its 1 year from now is it still because Iceland kicked out some foreign money holders? On the opposite side I wouldn't expect the attack for at least a month.
So can we agree on principle that if Iceland is attacked in 6 months that it is because of this and anything after is ISIS being ISIS?
I don't think you can put a timeline on the machinations of the bankers. I suspect the terrorism route would be the last resort anyway. I'd expect extensive litigation through a global organization like the WTO. If that doesn't work, I'd expect the bankers to mess with their money in the currency markets. Heck if Iceland is a big enough pain, they may even skip the lone terrorist option and start the full propaganda press to label it as a rogue nation with an evil government that requires regime change. Of course I'm half kidding.
