#2 I think Greece should be left to its own devices and when it comes completely crashing down, no electricity, no water, no food, and no money...maybe that huge population of spoiled brats and thumb sucking children will come to their senses.

Of course Goldman Sachs should be made to move their headquarters there...no wait they went out of business.

#3 invest in that corruptocracy at your own peril.
68% below the poverty line, and most don't pay taxes.

It is already a marxist dream,
but just wait for tomorrow!!!!

#4 This could be the lighting of the fuse of the bomb that blows up the EU.

Say good bye to German funding if this guy does what leftists do.

#5 Remember all those 'smart' Eucratic people decided to waste loads of financial assets to keep the place afloat rather than allowing the invisible hand of economic transactions to take its course. Gone destroyed. Now those same 'smart' people are going to further endanger everyone else not to avoid the unavoidable consequences of living by the magic money tree, but to justify their own failed acts and despicable choices.

#6 Just a matter of time before the EU collapses. Greece thumbing their nose as their masters will definitely accelerate the pace.

#8 Greece was a big headache for Churchill during WW2 and after. Even then it was a political migraine.

#9 Hasn't the EU sunk over €200 billion into Greece in loans already? That is a hunk of change to write off.

#10 -- "five years of humiliation and pain" that Greece has endured..

Should read: Twenty-two centuries of humiliation and pain that Greece has endured.

#11 The Romans took everything Greece had to offer and it's been all down hill since.

#13 Hope when Greece and the EU are getting heated the Russians and Turks don't get any funny ideas.

#14 The Russians and Turks *always* have funny ideas. But it will be an excellent opportunity for the Russians to move the Greeks into their sphere of influence.
