Re: Greek crisis

At the end of the day, Greece is still in the EU and the Eurozone so whatever happens there affects the other member states so they will have to be bailed out one way or other, just like the Big Bad Banks. Greece may not be a huge country but, within the context of the EU, they are still "too big to fail".

...and they are not the only ones who don't pay their debts, there's a few of us on here, come to think of it, maybe that's why I love going to Greece so much! :grin: :grin: :grin:

Re: Greek crisis

Greek president was on radio today stating that all the money meant for them had just gone to the banks but didn't filter down into the economy. Isn't it strange that wherever there is financial hardship in the world the story always seems similar.

Re: Greek crisis

Apparently it was a one off that's why it went unnoticed.

Re: Greek crisis

Greece has continualy and monumentaly LIED about its finances, both to join the EURO and was only found out how bad it was after the banking collapse in 2009

Its not just its banking liquidity, like Portugal ,spain and one or two thers, They were spending much more than they could possibly earn, een when times are good, and making up the figures. ( i wander if they have ever worked for a council )

There is also the other elephant in the room, Russian oligarch and Chinese cash, in the banks. and the fact its probebly in americas ( due to the stability of the dollar ) interst for the euro to become unstable, i suspect, they are already preparing.. the Germans certainly are

What I said earlier on about the 'honorary tax system' - perhaps they have used the EU in the same vein and now it has come to bite them hard on the bum. Unfortunately what happens to Greece will have a ripple effect in this country.

Re: Greek crisis

I've got an idea to save Greece from ruin: we should all go there and spend money on accommodation, food, entertainment, travel, shopping, etc.

It would be an ordeal but all in a good cause!

I think it is unfair to blame it all on Greece, remember it was up to the EU and the central bank to decide if a country was ready to join the Euro, I personally believe that they are at least if not more culpable for the inaccuracies in the data given. It was known long before the banking crisis that the goalposts were moved to let Greece join. If you ask me it was all about manipulation and control of the peoples of Europe by both elected and unelected politicians
As for the U.S. they want a strong Europe to prevent Russian empire building , maybe it is only a matter of time before the peoples of the baltic states 'request' Russian assistance, certainly Estonia who have a sizeable ethnically Russian population. Maybe we need to look at which countries benefit most from a united Europe

[Ruby]

Re: Greek crisis

Personally I think the baltic states are more likely to ask help from the EU than Russia. Russia is not popular in the baltic states - unless perhaps with those with a sizeable Russian poplulation! Maybe we should ask ourselves why we decided to form an EU/Euro in the first place - what was wrong with the way things were prior to it .....
