The idea that lots of banks in europe are bankrupt is ludricous.
Even on the countries that have been bailed it is just the odd one or none at all.
Also the idea of "bailout" is misinterpreted by non-europeans. No one is beeing bailed out. Every country so far has been lended money at the interest rate of 3% instead of the market interest. They are paying those loans back. Theres no one "offering" money around here. And while the EU can pressure their state members to adopt austerity measures, in the case of non-members they dont have that control, so this extra measure comes as no surprise. Fair? No, but the guy lending the money dictates the conditions. If you dont like them, dont take it.
