Not enough people criticize the very existence of “troikas”. When the EU institutes something patterned after the NKVD, that should have induced the USA to invade Brussels and arrest every soul in the Berlaymont Building.
My favorite reply to this article is as follows:
In Greece, we were brought to the dead-end by our society’s blissful delusion that we had found the machines which printed money and had no need to compete with anyone for whatever we wanted. The same stagnation bred a political system that does not know how to inspire the people so that they can make sacrifices today for a better tomorrow. The politicians cannot communicate with each other for the country’s salvation: they learned their trade when things were simple, and now that the going is heavy they are lost. They wait for solutions to rain down from heaven. In effect, they remain stagnant...

Are Greek politicians the only ones subject to these delusions?
