Congratulations to the Greek left! The movement against austerity....

Yes they are, it's called international law. What we did was illegal under rules and regulations by the UN, ICC and the world court among others.

I'm a little confused, you seem to be arguing that property rights are absolute in the first half of your paragraph and then that they are racist and inapplicable in the second. The natural resources of Iran belong to Iran, if they don't then how did the Persians have the authority to licence them to the West for a pittance in the first place?

For the time and place he is from he certainly is a secular messiah. He embodied a number of values that are still absent in a huge number of Arab states today, the same values that are held in such high regard in the West. How many countries in the region would benefit from a leader who fought for democracy, secularism, the rights of women and minorities and so on today?

The conflict with the UK came as a result of massive socio-economic problems in his country, and his countries greatest assest had been monopolised by a hostile foreign power who reaped all the rewards from it, they didn't even meet the peicemeal concessions that they had agreed to most of the time. There was no real disagreement with the US at first, as they were reasonable enough to negotiate with them. The UK then proceed to blockade them and spent a good deal of time twisting the US' arm to overthrow him for us.

Tsipras has said today that he is expecting a final political solution on Greece by Thursday at the EU Summit meeting.Btw this reparations issue is really picking up in Greece.The Greek media are all over it.

I'd be heavily insulted if i were German.

Greece only have two real options. Either leave the Euro and default or introduce another currency to co-exist alongside the Euro.

Or fight for a debt write off like Germany had its own debt written off in 1953.

.

Greece acted like a spoilt kid with their parents credit card.

This is crappy logic which infers that the Greek people have to suffer for the bs corrupt politicians all over EU did.Germany and the likes should not have lent Greece the money in the first place.You dont go lending money to someone who you know cant pay u back.

The Greek people have had it with austerity and the humanitarian crisis is currently at its height in Greece.The bs logic that uses Greek people as the scapegoat for a failed policy is long dead.Either Germany respects the democratic process in Greece or SYRIZA goes nuclear and we ll see who has to loose more.

Greece isn't having a humanitarian crisis, it's having a wake up call.

Oh please spare me the lecture on what is going on in my country.30% unemployment, 50% of the general population below the poverty line 25% reduction of living standards, 5000 suicides and majority of ppl in social exclusion and all that happening after 2010.

Germany will observe jack sh*t. It cares only through f*cked up blackmails to insure a failed policy by suffocating the Greek people.So hell yeah Greece has all the right to strike back with the same medicine.

leave the €.

yep,by bringing down the rest of the eurozone as we leave

yep,by bringing down the rest of the eurozone as we leave

Ok let's risk it then.Until then SYRIZA will have politicised the issue so much that it will cause both political and financial crisis in the Eurozone and globally.

It is/was Italy, Spain and Portugal.

That's why a Grexit will have markets preemptively attacking all the above.I am thinking it ll be a matter of weeks before Portugal exits with Spain and Italy following.
