When the US Economy collapses...
What will the effects be on the UK?

Or at least, what do you think the effects will be.

And for the nay-sayers.. This is purely a hypothetical question.

That's true, but im sure the US Economy collapsing would have more effect on the UK than the other way around...

Im just wondering what type of effects would we be likely to see over here when* it happens.

Re: When the US Economy collapses...
Simply put if one goes the rest will follow. The biggest crisis ahead is the G20 imposed global bailout crash, same principle as what is happening in US now only on a longer run but even more devestating unless they dupe us into an even purer form of "free market" as proposed by Milton Friedman (Chicago school from the '50s )(in the end the architect of our collapsing system with the best of outcome for those in power)

Re: When the US Economy collapses...
If one goes we all go (we is the people, not the conglomerates etc) If we do or don't go we'll have an even purer form of 'free market capitalism' as proposed by Milton Friedman (Chicago school from the 50's) with all the benefits (more power and borderless freedom) for those in power. Not going wouldn't be an option for 'them' (the ones holding the strings will hold the strings anyhow unless we truly break free from this system(economic/political)
There's a reason globalization has been pushed and everythoing is interlocked. I envy the russians and the aziatic block, they still stand somewhat on their own.

 Quoting: Dr. Quibble


A recent example would be the collapse of Iceland. They had some major rioting.

OLD: [link to www.forbes.com]

NEW: [link to www.marketoracle.co.uk]

Excerpt:

>>Iceland, whose only remaining source of income is its exports, will certainly not be able to pay off those debts. The Icesave agreement, that the Icelandic parliament is expected to vote on soon, would burden Iceland with a debt equivalent to £700 billion for the UK or $5.6 trillion for the US. Nor will Iceland be able to clear its deficit in less than five years, when national deficits are rising more quickly than ever, even for the great powers – with the UK and the US once again providing two very good examples. Unless a radical new approach is adopted, Europe and the IMF are about to perform a major feat: reducing a country whose HDI had, in just a few decades, reached the highest level in the world, to the rank of a poor country... The consequence of this is that the Icelandic people, the majority of whom are highly qualified and multilingual and have strong work relationships with the Nordic countries where they can assimilate easily, are already starting to emigrate. In the end, neither the IMF, nor England or the Netherlands will be able to be reimbursed. Just a few tens of thousands of retired fishermen will be left in Iceland, along with its natural resources and a key geostrategic position at the mercy of the highest bidder – Russia, for example, might well find it attractive.<<

No matter what country you´re in, END TIMES ARE HERE. People will want to hide under the rocks, and they´ll find out that they cannot hide from G_D.

You cannot hide, nor scape. Not even if you have a million dollars or have a nobility title. Even the witch Queen of England, will have to account for hed actions. Her minions will all succumb in a hell fire.

Re: When the US Economy collapses...
The UK is TINY and when TSHTF you will run out of food a whole lot faster than other countries.
Then you will see a social backlash that is without parallel in modern history.
Expect something akin to the French revolution,executions of the elitists,en masse.

Bad time to have a posh accent.
The mindless masses will rule for a while,until restructuring.
History for beginners.
The writing is on the wall and these are historical times,
Can you see the writing on the wall?
The end is near,everyone knows.

I have heard that 60% of the worlds wealth is in US Dollars. Therefore no nation will be untouched. The worlds largest consumer of goods will stop. Any producers of goods (China, Germany, India, Brazil etc....) will suddenly have lost the biggest customer of all time. It will mean chaos for every nation in the world including the UK.

 Quoting: akron


How could I have missed this global power grab by the elites. Of course, make us a global economy and then take it down en masse. After the dust settles install a world government, a world currency, a world judicial court - a one world order.
Again, I can't believe I missed this right before my eyes. While those I know keep touting that a global economy is a GOOD thing, it is only for the handful of puppet master elites.
Same thing with what's going on with U.S. health. In the future, our health care will be dictated by WHO, the U.N. World Health Organization.
This whole plan had to collapse the U.S. of America for it to work. It took awhile. Some say the whole 20th Century was geared toward the demise of the U.S. It's been, however, in overdrive since the 1970s when the biggest and most successful and innovative manufacturing nation was destroyed from within and plants were shipped around the world.
Just look at the dismal selection of American cars to witness the end of American innovation and design and you will see the future of the U.S. Basically, it's just about over. Wow. I can't believe it.
