Furious Merkel: "Cyprus’ Decision To Test Europe Is Unacceptable"
Europe's paymaster - that would be Germany for those who have not paid attention to events over the past four years - is not used to being snubbed. It certainly is not used to being snubbed by what every empty chatterbox and their kitchen sink will tell you is a "small and irrelevant" country (all the more so in the aftermath of last summer's embarrassing defeat in its head on confrontation with the ECB, in which the Bundesbank showed that sometimes the best offense is a gracious retreat). It most certainly is not used to not being invited to discussions involving the future of its precious mercantilist European union, especially when said union may no longer exist as we know it in 48 short hours. And Germany is angry.
From Bloomberg:
As Russia spurned the island nation’s bid for a loan, Merkel told a closed-door meeting of legislators in Berlin today that she’s annoyed the Cypriot government hasn’t been in touch with the so-called troika of international creditors for days, according to a party official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the briefing was private. Cyprus’s decision to test Europe is unacceptable, she told them.
“We’re not ready to accept solutions that are full of wind,” Michael Fuchs, deputy parliamentary leader of Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union, said after the meeting. “I don’t think it’s appropriate to play poker in this matter, especially when you think that there’s a risk that two banks will become insolvent next Monday.”
In other words, how dare the pesky Cypriots think a "union" is comprised of equal "units", instead of being a despotic tyrrany in which the adjusted version of the golden rule (perhaps explaining why the Buba is pulling all its French and a lot of its NY Fed gold) applies.
Germany will have none of that nonsense.
So while "experts" wait with bated breath for the results of today's Cypriot debate and vote, the reality is it is completely irrelevant, and any of the proposed terms and "resolution" ideas are irrelevant. Why? Because without Germany's blessing (which also means the idea should have originated with Germany in the first place), there is no solution, especially not one that benefits the abovementioned paymaster.
Which means either there is a deposit tax on the wealthy, which was the whole point of this carefully structured, politically punitive exercise, or there is no deal.
Because in Europe, like everywhere else, it is quid (even if it will soon be quit)-pro-quo.

We must let the tanks roll in Europe, so that they do not roll here.

@ hedgeless_horseman,
My sentiments exactly! You know, there are these funny rumors going around that this CUNT is the test tube baby of the Leader of the Furur.
Well anyway,
I think it's about time we go IceLand and demand an orderly arrest of the Global Criminal Cabal (Intelligence/Bankster) Crime Syndicate and their leaders.
Hedgeless, the euros are an invention of the international bankers. It’s the international bankers who are furious, if anyone is furious.

Yips!
$900 million EURO PUT trade on the Euro to crash vs. the dollar within 2 weeks.
@Headless Horseman,
He who has the gold writes the rules. When the rules aren't followed those who wrote the rules get very angry.
This usually ends badly for Germans.
You know what? Hitler, in case anyone hasn’t noticed, is not involved in the EU policy maneuvers. It is the international bankers. And the face of Hitler is nothing but Zionist propaganda.
And WHERE is the face of the Zionist policy makers who would force the people of Europe to wear the ankle chains of debt slavery?
I don't know, JR, but for whatever reason my Dell computer running Microsoft does not allow Google to search Oracle databases so I can research your outlandish claims. Maybe I should try a Bloomberg terminal?

At least they didn't say "Fuhrerous Merkel".
`I see!' said Queen Angela, who had meanwhile been examining the roses. `Off with their heads!' and the procession moved on, three of the soldiers remaining behind to execute the unfortunate Cypriots, who ran to Alice for protection.
`You shan't be beheaded!' said Alice, and she put them into a large flower-pot that stood near. The three soldiers wandered about for a minute or two, looking for them, and then quietly marched off after the others.
`Are their heads off?' shouted the Queen.
`Their heads are gone, if it please your Majesty!' the soldiers shouted in reply.
`That's right!' shouted the Queen. `Can you play croquet?'
:-))
