"...Put Greece under receivership ..."

How exactly do you put a sovereign nation "under recievership"? Do you intend to invade and appoint new rulers?

[RoosterRedux]

A sovereign nation would have to put itself under receivership (or something tantamount to receivership) to get any foreign lender to assist them.

In a way, Greece tried this with EU and IMF austerity and of course they are worse off because they were unwilling to make the hard decisions that are still looming.

Greeks live above their means via socialism...and that program is dead broke.

...and with what? The Polish Calvary is too busy holding their swords up to Moscow in a show of strength.

Nope, a lot loud words, but in the end, Europe buckles - there is NO WAY they will let Greece leave. If they have to bring over Euros in unmarked tanker trucks, they’ll do so, but they WILL NOT let Greece leave - they’ve worked their entire lives to unify Europe, they are not about to let some two-bit country in the south end it.
