Greece is more important to the EU than the other way round. Greece will struggle terribly, but they will find their feet and give new credence to the Bric bank. In leaving there is a strong possibility of an EU domino effect and that would be good too as individual nations will make up their own mind about Russia and then hopefully Europe and Russia can normalise things. With half the EU gone, then the Ukraine is left as nothing more than an obvious attempt to get NATO on Russia's border and with more countries backing Russia, that won't happen. Then you probably have an EU implosion and the NWO back to square one. Few will cry.

Minutes of an IMF meeting were leaked to the Wall Street Journal last year. They show that when Greece was forced into the 2010 bailout it was to protect the Euro from collapse and to bail out eurobanks who had all lent huge sums to Greece.

Everybody knew at the time that Greece needed debt restructuring and that they'd never be able to pay the debt they were being loaded up with. And it's amazing to read that privately governments all agree that austerity damages economies while publicly they claim the opposite. Austerity is obviously just a tool to slash the welfare state and worker protections and benefits, to turn Europe into Asia as far as big business is concerned. Actually it's not amazing at all, is it.
Probably what happens now :
They come up with some sort of last minute compromise extension agreement to kick the can down the road for another two/four/six months until they can negotiate something better. More when I have the time.

Here is my tradesman style take on it all.
Call it a gut feeling.
Greeces mega rich could all put in and pull them up out of anything easily with the right plan and implementations. They will not do that. Instead they will keep their cash and reserves abroad and safe instead.
I recon with Russia China Brazil India and South Africa now working together to create their own fair trade new world order and new banking system:
Countries who have been taken to the cleaners by the Anglo American alliance will also eventually take their business there.
The Anglo American so called 'Christian' World order that has reigned supreme, will do what its always done and go for the control panel via military means and take control or mess up others lines of what it can in the middle east and other spots of friction.
Australia would do well to cut ties and go with the Chinese plan for Eurasia. If we dont we will have Indonesia to deal with, maybe in the same way the States deals with problems outside of itself, not the way the Chinese do,which is so much smarter.
I agree Australia would really benefit from going with Beijing's plan for the region. But I have a feeling that Australia is too connected to that Anglo American Club, and it seems it would be next to impossible for them to just make such a shift. I wish they would, it'd be a signal to the rest of that Anglo World that flexible thinking outside the box and compromise rather than confrontation are the ways to success.

I'm a little bit disappointed that Greece is compromising to the vultures. The banks have failed and that is not the responsibility of society. Governments don't seem to work in the interests of the people anymore. The banks have a gun to everyone's head saying 'Do what we want or we blow up your society'. That is financial terrorism. Then of course you have the super rich hiding all their billions and governments borrowing to pay promises they could never afford. Why does it always have to be passed on to ordinary people. Is it right that there are Greeks eating out of rubbish bins, that the young cannot find work, that the rich are beyond all law? It's rotten, the entire system seems rotten.

You're right about the first point.
There aren't going to be any new banking or trade systems of note anytime soon.
The western alliance is on the way out but it'll take decades to happen. And the people running the show in the west are all just gradually investing in the east anyway. It's a global system we're moving to.

Eventually whatever the current deal is between Greece and its creditors is will fall apart. It may take a few months or a few years but their debt load is unsustainable, they can't pay it back.
People keep ringing me on the fucking phone so I have to come back to this.

I think so too, but think of it in a positive way. The EU is a bad concept and the nation state should never have been corroded as it has. You have to look at the local environment to run a system in the interests of the local population and the EU doesn't have that capacity. The best thing is to let Greece go and just face up to the fact that others want out too. The EU elite won't let it go without trying to screw over more people first, but whatever. Russia had to change, now it's Europe's turn and hopefully too other heavily indebted nations. You can either pay off bankers forever, or you can start to work in the interests of your people. These elite seem to be in the wrong job and need to be removed and the system changed.
A bit off topic but when does Merkles term end. Seems like she's been ruling forever. I know little of German politics other than Hitler ran the place for a while.

The way I see it Hitler went for Europe directly and it didn't work. Germany took stock and realised that next time out it would have to be by stealth and now they have all of Europe! Clever bunch. As usual, it has to fall. They always do it by pushing Russia too far!![]()
