>>“Chinese warns US: no military/nuclear/naval/satellite cuts, no aid”

>>>Seems more likely since ODrama sold us to them.

France and Germany have wanted a United States of Europe for 200 years. Now they have it, and have discovered the rest of the states only want their money.

The Franco/Prussians will not go quietly.

Why bother with the euro? for any other country it is a leash not a unity.

How dare those hard-working Gremans to threaten to cut off the retiring-at-50 Greeks. The Greeks deserve to sit on their asses and sip coffee at outdoor cafes, don’t they? It is only fair.

If Greece follows through with breaking the agreement and Germany stands firm, then having Greece flushed down the toilet may...

The problem is that when Greece gets flushed it takes hundres of billions with it.

But, it needs to happen because it is going to happen and the longer we put it off the more painful it becomes.

If I were a German voter I would be demanding that the EU periphery already be told to stuff it.
Actually, German voters do demand that; the problem is, all parties support the bailouts, the Euro, and the EU. There is nobody else to vote for, except some unknown 2% parties that are not even members of parliament.

Best case scenerio would be for Greece, France, and Spain to carpetbomb the hell out of Germany, then go bankrupt. Need to show socialism doesn’t work, yet also need to put down the erman threat before it continues to gain steam and we have to cross the English Channel with the UK again.

Of course they are bluffing. They will continue to bail out Greece with more and more unfavorable terms until Greece becomes a Southern Province of Germany on the Mediterraean. That has been the plan all along and it is all Germany has every wanted since before the days of Alaric and Attila the Hun.
