11. Yeah, and

"Backlash against American banks - particularly in places like South America, where American banks have a large share of the market. "

...wouldn't this be great? It's all drivel.

Wait until the real backlash starts hitting :-

Less tourism to the US, Disney etc. will suffer
Less Christmas shopping trips to New York etc.
Boycotts of McDonalds or similar in Europe
Backlash against Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and other tech companies.
Backlash against American banks - particularly in places like South America, where American banks have a large share of the market.

Doom, coming soon!

We are already seeing a transfer away from London to Paris from rich Chinese tourists, because the UK is America's poodle.
We will see the same thing from just about everywhere in the world against America itself.

All sorts of things are going to start happening to America and American businesses because of the spying scandal and criminal behavior of the American government.
And none of them will be good.

The trade negotiations between the EU and US which are supposed to be happening are already being threatened.
The UK and Sweden have managed to limit the scope of the EU questioning of the American spying - but questions are still going to get asked.
Angela Merkel is East German - she knows all about a Stasi surveillance state.
The UK and Sweden are trying to cover up their role in spying for the NSA as much as possible.
The UK and GCHQ are collecting large amounts of data for the NSA.
Sweden has been spying on the Russians for the NSA.

Pure nonsense. I mean, the EU is suffering from regressive austerity policies and China is having its own issues. The trade talks are not in jeopardy. Got a link for the claim that "Sweden has been spying on the Russians for the NSA"?

WTO sees EU, US trade prowess shifting by 2035

GENEVA (AP) — Any way you look at it, the United States and European Union will remain dominant players in world trade over the next two decades.

The real question, says the World Trade Organization in a new report, is how much ground they cede to rising economies like China.

The WTO's annual trade report says that under good economic conditions, China could increase its export share of manufactured goods to almost a quarter of global trade by 2035 while India's could more than double, to 5 percent.

The report Thursday says that under tougher conditions the EU and U.S. market shares would rise — but they would still lose in absolute terms because of a weaker economy.

The OP is simply more doom and gloom hyperbolic opportunistic crap reminiscent of the impending depression and "dying empire" nonsense.
