“germans owe the greeks billions for ww2 reparations, looting, mass murder.”

Not so. after WWII, Germany was destitute, basically a pile of rubble, and was unable to pay reparations to Germany. The U.S., wanting a Democratic Greece to anchor Europes southern flank against the USSR, paid reparations to Greece in Germany’s behalf. Also, in 1990, Greece signed an agreement with Germany basically stating that the reparations issue was settled. But, we all know what Greeks think about signed agreements. Greeks keep threatening to open relationships with Russia or China in exchange for money. I say let them go their own way and do what they will. They, hate the EU, can’t wait to see how they would like their new master, either Russia or China. I term “Faustian Deal” comes to mind, lol :)
