Dear reader,
don't worry... This is not aging Adrian Cronauer transferred from Saigon/Vietnam to AFN Europe.
It's just worth reminding that there is a globe still rotating, even without European politicians like Merkel, Sarkozy, Monti ("Merkonti" invented by @Katie_Martin_FX) being completely busy with rescue efforts of their Euro currency and EMU.

Imagine what would happen, if German exports to China and Russia will be substituted with a Sino-Russian trade exchange, probably joined by India and Japan ?
Begging as a 'business model' ?
Update: A little reminder also what Helmut Schmidt envisioned:
