The US.US. are in a sorry state. We are not referring to the widespread chronic obesity among its inhabitants, nor to the mental instability of the armed schoolchildren who carry out massacres at their schools. We are referring to its economy and its geopolitical situation: a mortgage crisis that includes the sharp fall in the value of American banking in general, terrorist threat Islamist on its own territory, pseudo-warVietnamese in the Persian Gulf, their enemies southerners beyond the Castro supporters are on the rise, a nuclear threat from Russian-backed extremists, etc…

The invasive virus coursing through American veins and causing that state of shock with a very high fever and blood test results that were completely out of the norm, is appropriate from countries such as China, Venezuela, Iraq, Russia, Cuba, Bolivia, Iran and others who have injected a host of pathogens into the US economy. Their bad habits and the unsustainable domestic credit practices they have exported have done the rest. Their constant actions have ceased to to be, his life is in danger, and with it the survival of Western economies; for our part, we are trying to protect and save the life of our capitalist model with all the resources at our disposal. Europe has thus become the healthcare team on which the necessary recovery of what was once the world’s largest and strongest economy for decades depends.

That’s right, the US’s best and most powerful weapon has always been its position No.. 1 in the global economy. The traditional driving force of capitalism is now set to face far greater difficulties due to China’s unfair competition and the other ‘viruses’ that have been injected into it, causing it to become seriously ill worrying for those of us who depend on this breadwinner. There are many of us doctors and nurses who are treating him, medicating him, feeding him, caring for him and even praying in various languages and to various gods for his recovery. Europe, like other countries in the rest of the capitalist world, is sacrificing its currency, its banking and corporate profits, and whatever else is needed to restore American patient. Risking catching some (or all) of their ailments, and with the prospect of falling ill just as they are recovering Yankee should that happen. It is possible that in the future the patient may have to act as a doctor and vice versa, but I doubt that, once back on their feet and in a white coat, they would make such sacrifices to save the life of a European patient, even if that patient were terminally ill.

For the time being, blood transfusions worldwide are USA... essentially from Europe, whose blood type seems particularly compatible with that of the North American, is keeping the economy of that ailing world leader afloat. One euro shorta policy that keeps the dollar at levels that would revive the dead, turns the Plan Marshall in the 1947 singles peanuts now repaid, unwittingly, with usurious interest. We could talk about European altruism or the instinct for survival, since if Dad Yankee (the head of the family) dies, the rest of his European offspring will have a very, very hard time of it. What seems crystal clear to us is that this massive transfusion continues day after day, whilst Europe’s cheeks grow pale and wither away extremely proud the «strength of the euro, the world’s safe-haven currency» (sic). A rampant crisis in which we find ourselves trapped, with no room for manoeuvre in the short to medium term. Perhaps the lack of blood flow to our brain (the one upstairs) is one of the reasons why our beloved European stock market keeps rising and rising, oblivious to reality macroeconomic and the impending perfect storm.

Personally, I am less terrified by this anaemic scenario in the Old Continent than by the capitalist collapse of the New World, which could lead to the extinction of a financial system that would sweep away the very foundations of global capitalism. That is why I believe that Europe’s sacrifice is necessary if we are to revive the American patient by means of transfusions, vitamins, medication, rest and pampering. Their immune system starts to kick in and the scavengers native o foreigners help prevent life-threatening complications.

In Europe, it’s all about cash, but at US.US It's about time to start investing. As always, the article is insightful, Jose Mª Díaz Vallejo EURO/DOLLAR – The currency has taken a nosedive, in which he gives a few practical examples of the advantage that the recipient gains over time compared to the donor.

European altruism, solidarity or obligation to save the sick person, lest they run us over or leave us helpless in the face of a new (dis-)order worldwide with the enemies of North America on the head.

Perhaps Europe’s future inevitably lies in taking a hit in order to save the lives of the US.US. and then cross our fingers that the US leadership will be able to look after us during our economic decline, which is just around the corner – as distant as the recovery of our American patient.

A good shot from Yuan expensive oil and cheap oil would revive the ailing economy and, incidentally, the team Doctors Without Borders in spectacular fashion. I’ll tell my children to put it on their list for the Three Kings… from the East, of course.

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. Here’s to a better year.
