Humiliated Greece eyes Byzantine pivot as crisis deepens

[PoliticAverse]

Neither side holds the upper hand in the strategic game of chicken which could still see Greece forced out of the euro

...

Greece's Syriza radicals have signed a fragile ceasefire with the eurozone's creditor powers. Few think this can last as escalating deadlines reach their kairotic moment in June.

Each side has agreed to a deception with equal cynicism, knowing that the interim deal evades the true nature of Greece's crisis and cannot bridge the immense political divide.

They have bought time, but not much. "I am the finance minister of a bankrupt country," says Yanis Varoufakis, the rap-artist Keynesian with a mission to correct all of Europe's economic ills.

1. So, have the people and orgs responsible been jailed, their accounts opened to the people?

I always find it interesting, how the people of a nation must dig lint from their pockets to pay for the racketeering and theft of billionaires, while those crooks get to scurry home (as the monied are so mobile as to be functionally nationless.) Any nation harboring such fugitives or allowing the organizations to operate within their borders need immediate sanction, to be lifted either by turning out the offender or paying the difference.

4. Greece's 'radicals'?? Really? The radicals are the ones who destroyed the economy, the Goldman Sachs

CEO Brussels put in place in Greece. He left it worse off than when he was installed.

Why does Greece need to be in the EU anyhow? ALL those nations should now just LEAVE, they have been economically brutalized by the EU and should leave and form their own union.
