unfortunately that means that they will soon exert maximum pain by calling in all their loans. I'm almost certain that next year is going to be the next monetary squeeze on a scale that makes the Great Depression look like an afternoon sunshower. And war is spreading in the middle east. The Suez Canal is done. I heard from sunni muslims back in 2013 that the Hadiths have a prophecy that indicates they are to mobilise for the Jihad when a saudi prince is assassinated. They will soon be able to blame price rises on ships sailing around the cape of good hope instead of through the Suez. All very convenient for them. Almost like they planned this 111 years ago...
