That's silly. Right now, the EU is the only thing that stands between Greece and certain doom.

Plenty of people in Greece and around it are comfortable with the idea of doom. It creates opportunities for looting, killing, and taking power. It also pauses all debts for a long time.

Funny to see conservatives cheer Greek communists on.

The disease has to run its course. A mere galvanization of a dead body will not make it alive and healthy, even though the body will twitch. Loans are poured into Greece like into a black hole, and there is no way to continue to do so forever. Greeks have to experience the alternative to the life under austerity regime that they today consider unacceptable. That alternative may include scenes from Venezuela, if not from Ukraine or Yugoslavia. Technically, Greece is already close to being a failed state, as the country is incapable of sustaining itself.
