Agree with all, and yes, Americans collectively nor individually are bad people I hope this is not the message that came across. But if there is such stark disconnect between the wish of the majority of people and its leadership then there is a bigger underlying problem. Most Americans are not interested in taking action upon their political views which surprises me, given they are so vocal about their political views and convictions. Many in Europe go on the street, demonstrate, sacrifice their time to disagree with their government. I hardly ever see that happening in the US. People talk a lot, really a looooot, but do very little to nothing to change things.
Full heartedly agree with all your points. We can and should get back to Greece, Germany is part of the block of many countries and there are more than half in Europe that are even much more vocal about their distrust and resentment towards Greeks and Greece. It is frustrating to hear the UK and US injecting themselves into this discussion, which in itself is fine, but singling out Germany whenever it pleases them in order to satisfy their appetite to blame Germany for everything under the sun is not a reflection of an intelligent, educated, and wise world view and more particularly view on the realities in Europe.
and American "toe poppers" which it took the US only 28 years to admit they caused a severe number of civilian casualties.

Maybe you should give them a call, tell them you are a delusional trader in the US that wants a massive stock market crash and see if they'll listen to you. I fail to see where your interest is in this. Have you lent Greece money ? Are you a major investor in a US bank that lent them money ? What nerve you have to think you have a say in the future of Greek citizens, it is clear you don't give a shit about them, but here's a news flash. They don't give a shit about you.
They can leave anytime ...haha So why haven't they? They want their free money....free bailout money ....tens of billions of it.....that's why they wont leave on their own accord...
why have they not yet left? Is this a rhetorical question? Because they love freebies. Nobody forces them to stay in the Euro. They in fact FREELY choose to default on a portion or all of their debt. Every action of course comes with consequences. But Greeks are a free people who can choose whatever they like.
