Q: why do we have to read a UK paper to get this depth and
quality of analysis?

Because the quality of the analysis isn't necessarily very good. They've
focused on the view from their side of the world, and on the consequences
that they may face. It's actually a short-sighted view, in light of the
longer consequences of the situation. We're more focused on the consequences
*we* may face.

For a short but penetrating take on it, Krugman's column today is more
relevant to what's going on here, "The B Word":
