"The battle of wills between Athens and its eurozone lenders has intensified, with Greece's finance minister accusing "forces in Europe" of pushing his country out of the euro while his German counterpart suggested postponing Greek elections and installing a new government without political parties...

"Wolfgang Schäuble, the German finance minister, said in a radio interview Greece might delay its polls and install a technocratic government that does not include politicians like Mr Venizelos and Mr Samaras, similar to the model currently in place in Italy."


Overthrowing the elected PM and installing an unelected collaborationist as PM was apparently not enough for the Germans. Now they want to dispense with the elections and democratically elected government entirely and install a new puppet regime under the control of Berlin and their allies in Brussels.

I'm sure this will all end well.

Greek gubmint officials are in a no-win situation. They can either agree to life changing austerity measures which will lead to mass riots and potential destruction of their country, or they can acquiesce to their citizens and get the big "Screw You" from the rest of the EU...and potential destruction of their country, at least economically.

They're focked, and the rest of the world is focked right along with them.

Unfortunately the E.U. is about to experience what the U.S. is just coming out of and the rest of the world will also take a hit.

The US is not coming out of anything, it's just enjoying a Ben Bernanke high and Benny-boy is priming a new needle ... eventually though the junkie dies if they don;t break the addiction.

"The question of Greek sovereignty was never intended to fall upon Germany. But the Greek character has left us no choice! They truly believe that the German worker should be made to labor 5, 10, even 20 years longer than the Greek worker, so they can retire at 55 with a full pension. Enough! Germany has awakened to the Grecian deception! If we are ever to save our children and our children's children then Greek autonomy must come an end!" -- Randolph Nitler (German worker's party)
