It reminds me of things with Greece: I don't get how they OWE anything- did they pay Germans to build all kinds of things & then not pay them? Also, why wouldn't they use their own currency while maintaining the same travel arrangement with other countries that there is now?
I suppose the wet dream of the Rothschilds is that they can use troops to collect, the way they did when the French invaded and occupied German Ruhr coal mines in the 1920's.
That used to be the general thinking. If a country borrows, you can make them pay, by force.
I think Teddy Roosevelt seized customs houses in the Dominican Republic to pay off European creditors. (Customs revenue is collected at fixed points so it is easy to divert if you occupy the ports.)
Nowadays no one has the stomach for invasion, but theoretically the Rothschild EU could interdict remittances to Greece, so that Greece lost all its export income.
That isnt necessarily fatal. Rhodesia was isolated by the PTB in 1965, with Britain requesting and I believe getting UN permission to interdict trade on African rivers with British gunboats. Yet as is well known the Rhodesian had something they dont teach in econ class -- an "import substitution boom". They made all kinds of things in their tiny country, smuggled what they couldnt make, and did just fine.
