Ive said before rapid purchase of OPVs like BAMs that we know we could get a hold of, as Spain is broke, and will haggle for the best price they could get for anything.
The Bams are a good deal, Spanish prices normally are already cheaper than others so there is no need to be in economic crisis for having cheap prices for Australia or any other country. It´s the skill, lots of engeneering manpower and just maybe litttle smaller wages which i am not sure about it, what makes spanish offers cheaper.
But if you consider that Spain is broke what about the other countries, Uk banks are in debt in 200 of their Gdp, Spanish banks in 50 of spanish gdp, so Uk banks have 8 or 10 times more debt than spanish banks...or the Us with huge public debt, like 20 times spanish public debt being just 5 o 6 times bigger in population.
But it is very easy to see who is more broken, it is who prints more money because they run out of money more, because import/export deficit is bigger, very simple.
Uk and Us rating companies and economic newspapers are just a shame, they are hiding their own economic disasters and shooting against the euro continuosly (as the competence international coin) until it blows in their noses. They fight using all what they can, against the dollar and pound devaluation danger, from printing money. That means libor manipullation, paper gold manipulation, rating companies manipulation and lots of media propaganda.
No one buys Usa or Uk bonds, its their federal reserve who does it printing money, their bonds are rated triple A and no one buys them, spanish bonds are rated by them as almost rubbish bonds and there lots of international people buying spanish bonds...we´ll see who collapses before.
To the newspaper to read lies that i will come here to tell you the truth.
And the Us has so big armed forces with so many navies, airplanes, subs, the Nasa... all that is paid simply by printing money and not devaluating it as it would happen to any other currency, so it is the whole world who has paid for all Us big armed forces giving international value to the dollar.
What you have to be aware that the Us has no merit at all in having so big armed forces, economic or society merits i mean, because they have a huge import/export deficit (petrol, made in china´s.....) and they have printed money for decades instead of any economic truth.
