Europe needs ‘emergency mindset’ to survive, warns Danish PM - Financial Times

Europe needs an “emergency mindset” on deterrence and defence if it is to survive a global disorder where strength matters above all, Denmark’s prime minister has warned. 

Mette Frederiksen, who has been thrust by the Greenland crisis to the centre of a rupturing transatlantic alliance, told the FT that “a Europe that is not able and willing to protect itself is going to die at some point”. 

“The old world will not come back. I am pretty sure about that,” she added. “Unfortunately, strength is one of the weapons that is useful in this new world disorder and therefore Europe has to be strong enough.”

Letter: Why the geopolitics of international currency choice matters - FT

This coincidence must alert readers that a tempest is brewing on subjects noted: lurking inflation, increasing debt, suppressed interest rates and the shifting of hegemonic power.  There are only two important questions in investing that also apply to subjects impacting the future stability of the world — tell me why and tell me when.  Plender gives us the “why”, the ever-increasing “intolerable burden” of government debt and suppressed rates leveraging the global financial system. He gives us the tipping point.  What we await is “the when”, as in when do we know we have “tipped”.  Paul Hackett Madison,  NJ, US    Letter: Why the geopolitics of international currency choice matters
