There is no doubt in anybody's minds, except the Greek people themselves, that they did this to themselves. No amount to talk and trying to convince people about the failures of socialism and big government giveaways, can compare to having to finally live with the reality of the failed system like the Greeks will now have to do.

Capitalism and free enterprise may not be perfect but is is the only system ever devised that can sustain itself and give everybody the opportunity to be successful and live a decent life. Not so with socialism. It is just a dream of the Marxists of the world and has never been successful in any country in the history of the world wherever it has been tried. Just look at how well Venezuela is doing under this system.

The Greeks will rue the day they ever went down this path. Will other countries and their populations learn from this disastrous result, including the US? Only history will tell.

If the Turks were smart, they would systematically agree to pay all Greek debts until they signed over their sovereignty. Once they take over a majority of the country, it would be over and they would own it, and probably kick all of the Greeks out.
