I must apologize for not remembering the exact details, but I do believe it was the Nikkei index crash that just recently happened, recently used as a relative term of course.

America poured a lot of money into it to keep things from going real sour and thanks to a lot of watch dog protections implemented; due to our 1987 crash catastrophe was averted.

Although it was Japans market, the US was also affected by the Nikkei index woes.

Frankfurt has a ton of money invested in US stocks, as does the UK.
As well as the US having a ton of money invested in many countries themselves.

All, I’m presenting, is that if one succeeds in financially ruining ANY country and their Stock Exchange then the world will feel its ripple effects. It doesn’t matter which country. The USA would be in a huge world of hurt if Frankfurt, Australia, or the UK was totally and financially ruined.

That is all I was trying to point out.

I was talking simple money vs. invading a country and you turned it into anti-sentiments and I don't go there. If I misinterpreted I apologize.

Like I said before, I don’t agree with a ton of things my countries leaders do, but and invasion of ANY Stock Exchange country would only financially hurt the world, if somehow the checks and balances failed and nothing is impossible.

You see Womble, I don't have the luxury you have; because I am an American.
Have you ever read the book "The man without a country by Edward Everett Hale"?
