Kick them out. A great move in Checkers.
In Chess, one might wonder who the expelled Greeks might turn to.
Russian Navy bases in Greece? China happy to move in to include the Greeks in the new world currency they are trying to build?
This isn’t such an easy thing as ‘kick them out”.
Thank you for carrying this to its logical conclusion.
This referendum vote makes little sense. How many people will vote for austerity? Of course, I base my assumptions on what I see here in the US.
I can see why the Europeans are jumpy. Not only from a financial standpoint...but from a security standpoint.
Russia doesn’t need and can’t use a Med base.
Even if Greece leaves the Euro Europe is still their major market and they can’t substitute them with anyone else.
The Chinese need deadbeats like them ?
Not likely. They aren’t dumb enough to lend them anything significant.
The Russkies can have those worthless commies. The only country more corrupt and backward than Greece is Russia. Considering that the Russkie economy crashes every time there's a drop in oil prices, having to bail out the Greeks will just add one more welfare dependent nation to the Soviet Un-- err, Russian Federation.
