France and Germany without leadership: Is the euro in danger?

The world seems to be on its head at the moment, with momentous events and breaking news coming thick and fast. Last week, one piece of bad news followed another. On closer inspection, each report contains incredibly explosive material. This may give a small taste of what to expect next year, which will be very turbulent under Trump. But perhaps the events are also related to something bigger that is looming and will only come to fruition next year. 1. In South Korea, the president declares martial law and then, six hours later, revokes it after strong protests from demonstrators and parliament. 2. In Georgia, there is a threat of a second violent ‘Maidan’ and overthrow of the government 3. In Syria, there is a change of power: Assad has to flee, but who will fill the power vacuum?+++ 4. Putin threatens to send missiles to the countries that allow their missiles to be fired from Ukrainian soil into Russia, which would mean a World War 3 5. Trump meets with Macron and Selinskyi in Paris to discuss a peace solution in Ukraine 6. Trump threatens the BRICS countries with tariff increases if they establish their own BRICS currency 7. China bans the export of some raw materials, Russia wants to ban the export of uranium to the USA. 8. France and Germany's government crisis could jeopardise the euro.
