Got the above news from CowboyCaleb's Plurk.
The Icelandic Krona is history.
Iceland has gone bust.
Whoa. This is big shit.
But I was thinking how the hell does a country go bankrupt? Does that mean all 320,000 Icelanders are going to starve?
It's really unthinkable that a country, with one of the highest GDP per capita, could go from riches to rags.
Just.like.that.
So, the report says that they are seeking a loan from Russia. Imagine Iceland on sale to Russia.
Yeah yeah, it's a loan, not a sell out but for the next 9 years at the very least, every Icelandic ass are belong to Russia, should the loan goes through.
Every Icelandic baby will be born into debt from now and possibly the rest of their lives. The Americans are not far behind going at this rate.

Cunning Ruskies. They lend Iceland enough to stop it melting - Iceland leans towards Moscow - eventually the Kremlin gets an airbase where it wants one? www.skynews/foreignmatters 2. Hamie left...

Spinnee: Singapore won't help as there is no benefit for Singapore to do so. If you are thinking that help is supposed to be out of benevolence, you are going to be sorely disappointed.

Tim Marshall & Hamie: Welcome to the blog. Thanks for the comments, I'd have to admit that I didn't see this as a strategic counter-NATO move until you mention it. VERY INTERESTING!
