“Everyone has a gun to everyone’s head.”

Quite so. And no matter who pulls the first trigger, they will all go off.

I found that an odd phrase for the title. Threatening to stop giving unlimited money to someone who is spending so far beyond his means just doesn’t strike me as a gun to the head. It’s more the reverse. Greece has been trying to shoot itself in the head for years, and Germany, after years of giving Greece money to keep them from pulling the trigger has decided to get out of the way so Greece can decide whether they really want to accept the consequences for what they have been doing.
