Greece and Spain won’t pay back. The only thing Germans can do is:
REPOSES 170 Leopard 2AEX Battle Tanks from Greece, and 190 Leopard 2A6E Battle Tanks from Spain.
U.S.A must REPOSES 170 F-16 Jet Fighters from Greece, the rest is gone with the wind …forever …
Greece must stop paying lucrative pensions with borrowed money, reform the health care system, and cut 4 times the military budged.

My comment is “awaiting moderation” – what a wonderfully bureaucratic phrase. Does this site speak truth to power or is it a

quisling?

Anne,

The answer to your rhetorical question is no! We have a political leadership that is mesmerised by ‘finance’ and the

‘growth’ it is presumed to bring; and, both these words seem to paralyse constructive thought and, thus, even where regulators perceive critical

risk, they do not operate in a context that allows them to act with the appropriate diligence.

There is also insufficent pressure from the

‘polis’ for our leaders to act – the perceived complexity of the issues appears to stymie genuine popular anger -and it gets diverted to

subsidury issues like bonuses.
