Greek Defence Minister Panos Kammenos said that if Greece failed to get a new debt agreement with the euro zone, it could always look elsewhere for help.

"What we want is a deal. But if there is no deal - hopefully (there will be) - and if we see that Germany remains rigid and wants to blow apart Europe, then we have the obligation to go to Plan B. Plan B is to get funding from another source," he told Greek television show that ran in to early Tuesday. "It could the United States at best, it could be Russia, it could be China or other countries," he said.

Just saw another Bloomberg headline that now EU may give Greece a six month extension. Probably don't want Greece to have veto vote on Russia sanctions.

The EUroweenies can't even stay united and they want us to save them? Again?

It always stinks when you run out of other people’s money. They are merely avoiding facing this fact of life. A real leader would understand this very simple concept. No one will forever pay for the never ending embezzlement of government funds. Not even China, and Russia won’t pay enough for the veto. To survive at proposed budget levels, Greece needs $5,000 every year for every citizen.

Stop being Wimpy and instead of borrowing for a burger, figure out how to pay for it.

They had a deal with austerity measures for good reason. Obviously they’re not seeking solutions just more money to throw away.

So now the bums are trying blackmail. Good luck. Go over there and invite that cobra into your house.

I’m sure the Russians are eager to have the Greeks for an ally. Maybe they could use them to invade the Ukraine from the other end?

They might have to raise the retirement age for hairdressers to 51! Horrors!

Russia is going to have a military base on Cyprus and just made deals with Egypt.

“It could the United States at best, it could be Russia, it could be China or other countries,”

United States would be best. We’re great at giving away money that we don’t have. We’re several trillions in debt and yet we seem to be their best bet...that’s sad.

I posted a thread yesterday about Senator Sanders wanting the Fed to do just that.

Give us hundreds of billions, or the deadbeats will leave the EU. Ummmmmm....can you give me a minute? LOL!

Plan B is to get funding from another source

LOL! Good luck with that.

You said:”...The EUroweenies can’t even stay united and they want us to save them? Again?...”

Nope. We do not need your help. We Europeans solve the problem with Greece alone and we would appreciate if you guys
could keep yourself out of our sphere.

Regards from Europe
