“Hahahaha...you are trying to blame the Greek tragedy on Tsipras? He has been in charge for 5 months. The non-communist liberals have been in charge for decades. The Greeks have recognized who screwed them, and it was not Tsipras.”

Never said that Tsipras ‘screwed’ the Greeks. The Greeks ‘screwed’ themselves. They lived above their means relying upon EU credit to finance their lifestyles.

The Greeks were given the opportunity to save themselves. Instead, they’re relying upon bluffing the EU into giving them more loans.

The problem is any concessions given to Greece will also have to be given to Italy, Portugal, and Spain. The EU will call that bluff because it will be cheaper to write off the Greek debt or have to bail out Greece, Portugal, Spain, and Italy. The left wing parties in these countries are already planning to follow the Greek strategy.
