Defiant Message From Greece
In the interview to The Wall street journal Europe, the Greek leftist leader Alexis Tsipras claims that Europe will not stop money flow to the country because otherwise Greek will stop paying it's debt. Interesting bluff from a possible future Greek prime minister.
original article
Act of War?
just an idiots pre-election rhetoric.
Well the problem with that is if the money is stopped then Greece can't pay anything anyway?.
Frankly I think the intention of the other EZ countries over the last few months has been to set up Greece's exit from the Euro.
It's ruthless but that's the way it's going.
More like an irrational message, it would be much more effective for the rest of the EU to take over the Greek payments without filtering them through the corrupt Greek administration.
It's like a family intervention.
One of the kids hooked on crack boasts that mom and dad wouldn't dare cut them off from his trust fund.
Before you know it they are offering BJs for a rock of crack and eating out of dumpsters.
This is going to end badly.
If I had any Euros in Greece or Greek banks I'd be pulling them out now.
I suspect they will be seized, converted, and devalued like in Argentina a few years back.
Watch the smart money.
I really wish Greece would NOT have been admitted into the Eurozone in the first place. It is now obvious they lied bach then. Also I would really wish Germany had never spent a single cent on Greece and I hope and pray that this madness will be over, soon! Leave them to their fate - after all Greece is the reason for it´s own situation - no one else to blame.
You know, I had a schooltrip in Greece in January 2002. Just a few weeks before, the Eurozone consisted of 11 countries. I was very surprised when they added Greece at the last second !
That guy talks like people who went bankrupt because of gambling, and when collectors come get his things, he's taking out his rifle and goes nuts. In other words, he's desperate.
Imagine if everyone left Germany to it's fate in 1945! After all there was no one else to blame!
Try using your brain and think about long term implications.
If Greece was to get the collective finger out and collect all the tax revenue owed by Greek people who see it as a matter of honour to screw the revenue department / tax office they would not be so bad off as they are at this point in time.
Connaught Stranger.
This is akin to Greece holding a loaded gun upto its head, and daring others to have him shoot
And lots of people shouting "DO IT ! DO IT !"
If the EU is to surive in the long term, they MUST cut out the deadweight and streamline their expenditure. Setting precident is always easier than changing it
Actually, this would have been a good thing in all likelihood. Had the allies left it alone, Germany would today be considerably larger and richer and without a history of being divided for decades. All these comparisions between Greece today and Germany in 1945 are pretty much crappy nonsense, you know.
I'd be switching to a solid rock of a currency like Cambodian Riel, Laotian Kip or South African Rand
