As my colleague Patrick O’Flynn recently pointed out in the Daily Express, the bullying of Greece by the EU has stepped up a notch.
Threats, scaremongering and fear is being put about to keep that country locked within the Euro straightjacket.
All those running the EU care about is their project.
They care not for the best wishes of the Greek people, but simply for sustaining the economic madhouse they themselves have created.
Locked inside the Euro, the Greek people have been long-suffering.
Quite simply, the European Union is quite happy to see Greece crucified as long as the shattered Euro manages to somehow stick together and carry on.
As I have said time and again, year after year, the Euro project wasn’t about economics.
It wasn’t about a more prosperous future for European citizens, but about a political project.

the EU is a globalist monstrosity, but they didn’t create the huge steaming mess in greece. the greeks did that themselves.
“They care not for the best wishes of the Greek people, but simply for sustaining the economic madhouse they themselves have created.”
So the Greeks don’t really play into what’s happening? They would not be in trouble if they had been paying their bills? I get it that the EU is a piece of crap, but the Greeks didn’t have to borrow the money.
Who cares about Greexico? Last time they contributed something of value to humanity was in the BC

Power and money for both elites, Greek and EU.
They (EU, Greek gov’t) both lied to get Greece into the EU
Greece is what happens when an institution of fakers lends to a nation of takers.

I have a family friend who is an Italian banker in Verona. Back when Italy was trying to get into the EU he told me that essentially a “fools mission” because the Italian Government was going to have to make “commitments” to the EU to get in that he knew they could never keep. Begins to look as though he was right.
Do you really think that even a sizable minority of Greeks were aware that one of their previous governments conspired with Goldman-Sachs to hide the true state of the Greek economy so that Greece could join the euro? When Greece was borrowing money in drachmas and offering to repay in drachmas, their profligate ways caused no trouble. It is only because their Europhile politicians bought into the political project of the E.U. (oh, joy, open borders, multiculturalism, trampling on the Christian heritage of Europe, all for a mess of pottage in the form of a fiat currency controlled not from Athens, but Berlin and Brussels).
With already unsustainable debt, they then had more loaded onto them five years ago during the last crisis by the IMF betraying its mandate and serving the interests for French and German bankers, rather than doing what they were created to do, stabilizing weak national economies through debt relief combined with mandated reforms (Greece got mandated reforms and more debt rather than debt relief because Dominique Strauss-Kahn didn’t do his job — too busy screwing, well various and sundry, but among those he screwed was Greece.)

Socialists planners???
I told people a year ago the Greeks were going to have to suffer at the hands of the EU for one very simple reason. Its a lesson for all the other weak countries that this might happen to them. You can bet voters in Spain and Italy are watching the lines at the banks. Greece will in some form or another remain in the EU because if they pull out one thing they’re very likely to do is to expel (and forbid crossing) the masses of immigrants from the Middle East. They can’t help their own so theres no way they can help them. That would mean more for other nations at the breaking point. That in itself would pose a real problem for the Germans as the policy is not favored at all on the level of the voters in other nations.
True, but let's not lose sight of the fact that Greece had a LOT to do with its own undoing. They keep voting themselves into unsustainable socialist policies that ensure their further decline.
