WOW no wonder why Germans are leery

[Jack Hammer]

And here I thought the Greeks just p*ssed away their economy with a lot of socialist horse sh*t, bad management, and giveaway programs.

Just like Obama, in fact.

but from politics altogether.

Well, what really happens is a non-trivial minority turn towards political movements well outside the mainstream, like the anarcho-left or neo-nazis.

There was a big chart I saw yesterday showing about a 40% increase in politically motivated killings in Germany over the past two years. If mainstream politicians consider all resistance to forced immigration as "racist," why not join the real racists? Or burn down refugee centers (which is now happening in many places in Germany) if no politicians will listen.

“Merkel shoots down new proposals from Athens”

Sounds like a newspaper headline from 1914 or 1939.

[M Kehoe]

True, this won't look good, but the Germans should invade Greece again to cover their bank's exposure.

Methinks the Parthenon would look good in Berlin...

Just kidding...

This is what Greece is scheduled to pay in the future. Look at the numbers! They can't even make the recent 1.25B payment

This is actually a very interesting dilemma.

Socialists versus socialists.
