Greece....how can they...

History is written by the winners of the war.

 

Umm, I think you are confused about how it works. Greece was on the side of the Allies, who won WW2. The winners of a war gets paid, not the losers.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were retaliation for Pearl Harbor?!?

 

This speaks volumes about you as a human being. Well...less than human in your case.

 

Greece stole hundreds of millions annually, in agricultural subsidies, by lying about their agricultural production. why did the germans etc. tolerate this situation. who in germany benefited?

 

They put up with it because they wanted them to join the EU.

 

your answer begs the question.Greece was part of the EU.
why did Germany +northern europe tolerate false agricultural numbers. the result was vast overpayment of subsidies.

 

I think it was like a bribe to keep them in. Also the administrative side of the Euro was terrible. They set up the statistical body called Eurostat to look into the fiscal and administrative figures of the Eurozone however it did not have any power. They gained the figures from National Statistical Insititutes that were not regulated or sanctioned. In 2008 the ESGAB was set up to regulate these figures but they are still not sanctioned. The only way they have been sanctioned is through the austerity program.

The Eurozone was not regulated or managed properly and the efforts made to do so have only come from the agreement to pay them more money. It is as if they have no real power in Greece and enforcement only comes at the worst time.

 

While not directly, and officially it was to "end the war", this was what pushed them to use nuclear weapons.
As far as I know, much of eastern europe actually sided with the allies.
But the "history is written by the winning side" comment is very much right of course, the tables might just turn though.

 

If you think that you greeks can get away with it, stealing money from other Europeans by lying and cheating without pissing other Europeans like me off, think again.

Bookings for tourism in greece are already down 25% for the moment. And I'm happy for it.

I tell everybody who wants to hear it how normal greek citizens cheated everything and everybody to earn more money. Well, I guess you greeks will receive what you deserve.

 

Lets not let anger deflect us from what could be a land of opportunity. Wouldn't you like to own your own bar by the waterfront ? I would. Just the time to invest !!
