#1 Give into your demands or you commit national suicide?

Er.... no. And we just found a great place to unload some of those old thermonuclear weapons we wanted to set off.

#6 Greece was ruled by Ottomans for a long time. Pretty sure the Muslims have not forgotten and still have a claim to Greek land. Greece could find themselves between a rock and a hardplace soon if they keep playing it stupid.

Guess Putin is slow writing the checks he was begged for.

#10 Love my many Greek friends, all the good ones fled. I find them stone cold in their beliefs, loyal as hell, generous to a fault and exceptional tradesmen.

#11 Nice artificial currency union hiding a panoply of inconvenient economic differences you have there. Shame if it frayed even more at the seams you call subways, markets and airports...

#12 No, IIUC Greece's argument is that the EU's overly lax immigration rules will only help the Hard Boyz enter Europe very easily. in contrance to Greece which desires to control its immigration, + prevent or minimize the Hard Boyz from entering the Country + Europe.
