#1 They threatened the continued viability of the EU super state, so the analogy is appropriate.

#2 I sure won't absolve Greece of how it got in this mess, but at this point Greece can't pay the money back. Ever. They are being dismantled and turned into a debt prison by the EU creditors/bank.

Italy, Span and Portugal take note.

#4 I am Portuguese. Anglo saxon media dishonesty reaches new heights like this case once again proves.

And sadly you all go with them destroying free aggreements.

You pay your debts. And yes Greece can pay them, they just don't want.

Being EU Unionist or anti EU Unionist like me have no beef with this case.

If they want to stay in the euro they follow the rules. They can go out. They want the cake and eat it at same time.

Like Ambrose of socialist right The Telegraph.
