TextAn outgoing Greek minister warned that the country could descend into “civil war” amid the chaos of a euro exit. “If Greece cannot meet its obligations and serve its debt the pain will be great,” Michalis Chrysohoidis was quoted as telling a local radio station. “What will prevail are armed gangs with Kalashnikovs and which one has the greatest number of Kalashnikovs will count … we will end up in civil war.”

Spain too is looking very precarious along with Italy - already huge amounts of Euros are being withdrawn from banks according to Sky News. (sorry no evidence on this one) But it's inevitable people are afraid for their life savings.

If trust in the "tower" does wane significantly and rapidly, I do believe that most people will be effected significantly and for a long duration, but not as badly as the fears would indicate. The severity of which will be greatly determined by local culture.

Or does the lack of oil make it pointless?

The U.S. and UK are more interconnected than most people are willing to admit - Both financial systems will go into meltdown in a Civil War but the rich and super rich will just sit back and wait till it's all over and set up new systems that will be forced on the populous in the cleverest of ways. And we'll all return to being suckers again.
TextAs Coolio said, we spend our lives living in a gangsta’s paradise. What he failed to mention is that throughout history the most sinister and dangerous gangsters are banksters. There is no shortage of historical quotes to prove this point.
TextThe Private Federal Reserve It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and money system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. - Henry Ford The world financial system seems complex but it is actually very simple: a cabal of banksters has conquered the world by lending people and governments money that does not exist and charging interest on it.
