Greek Caption Contest And Complete Overnight Summary
If you thought the Dijsselbloem-Varoufakis 'exit' was uncomfortable; watching Jean-Claude "when it's serious, you have to lie" Juncker grab Alexis Tsipras' hand in an awkward solidarity gesture as they ambled off stage today was eye-gouging... Perhaps the biggest news overnight was Varoufakis comment that GREECE `WILL NEVER SEEK FINANCIAL AID' FROM RUSSIA but broadly speaking conversations continue with "no change" - Greek FinMin Varoufakis told ECB's Draghi about his "government’s utter and unwavering determination that it can’t possibly be business as usual in Greece," and The IMF has stated that there has been no discussion with the Greek government on a change to the framework. Varoufakis is on his way to meet Germany's Schaeuble next.
The 'awkwardness' begins at around 20 seconds...

Greek Finance Minister Varoufakis met with ECB Chair Draghi...and nothing changed...
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis commented after meeting ECB President Mario Draghi at the ECB headquarters in Frankfurt on Wednesday.
“Today I had the great honor and privilege to be with Mr Mario Draghi, the president of the ECB, as part of this tour of ours, the purpose of which is to communicate with our partners both in major European capitals as well as of course the great institutions that are supporting the common project of the European monetary and economic union”
“Mr Draghi was particularly helpful in outlining the mechanism by which the ECB supports the euro-zone member states including Greece. We had a very fruitful discussion and exchange concerning the constraints, the rules, the regulations, the process by which the relationship between Greece, the euro zone and the central bank must unfold”
“I presented him our government’s utter and unwavering determination that it can’t possibly be business as usual in Greece both in terms of the reforms that we need in order to end the various malignancies that have afflicted the Greek economy and society for so many years, and also in terms of the program that has been leading to, or fueling, a debt deflationary crisis in our nation”
“We established an excellent line of communication that gives me a great encouragement for the future and I am now proceeding to Berlin where I am extremely eager to meet not with just the finance Minister but with the intellectual force behind the project of European monetary union, Mr Schaeuble. I look forward to it”
The IMF explains nothing has changed...
There’s an agreed framework for dealing with Greece’s debt in the current program, and there has been no discussion with the government on a change to the framework, International Monetary Fund says in e-mailed statement.
Varouyfakis finally appears to put a nail in the Russian pivot narrative:
In the same interview, Varoufakis ruled out that Greece planed to seek aid from Russia.
“That is not up for debate. We will never ask for financial assistance in Moscow.” [Reuters, Kathimerini]

We still believe Greek Bank bonds are the most sensitive to the sentiment shifts and while it bounced, it is still dramatically lower...

Three key moves the new Greek government should definitely do A special message to Yanis Varoufakis
"Why don't you come with me Mr. Tsipras, I got this cool new nail gun I'd like to show you."
"Why don't you come with me Mr. Tsipras, I got this cool new NAZI gun I'd like to show you."
There is a room in the back, we can do it Greek style. Come, let me lead the way......
Tie their feet together and see how well they do.
Juncker did the same shit to Orban just a few days ago.
Hungarian PM Orban is dragged away by Commision President Juncker after handshake
He is a strange man.
He is something like the Drunken Master of EU Politics
Is that like going hunting with Dick Cheney?

I would love to play with an authentic MP-40, or the MP-44.
Shoot, I knew a guy here in Germany who found a SG-42 in the floor of an attic when we was remodeling a house about 7 years ago. House was 100 years old plus. It had the alumnium stock on it, and the Wreathed Eagle and a serial number onit.
Needless to say, owning this in Germany is super illegal on many fronts, so he smuggled it into the US and sold it on Gun Broker. Got north of $20k for it, which paid for his kitchen, and he saved a piece of history.
go watch N24 to understand what you are ...

Owning a SG 42 in Germany is not as "super illegal" as many think. It´s not considered a "Kriegswaffe" since it was introduced before 1945. Only problem it´s a full automatic weapon. But if you do some modifications and get approval for this you can own it. It´s a historical artifact after all. But hey, `Muricans are crazy for that kind of weapons in good conditions. And the dealer got twice the price or more for it, believe me.
Er hat auch den Hakenkreuz drauf. Von was ich verstehe, er könnte ihn nicht verkaufen.
Guess the problem here is if he is/was the rightful owner of the gun. Owner of the gun was the "Deutsche Reich", so most likely the rightful owner 7 years ago was the Federal Republic of Germany. But hey, i would have done the same as your friend. Interesting story though.
+1 correct, property of the Third Reich, never legally in private hands
Like in mine, I had the whole set of all guns/mgs/pistols produced during the time the GröFAZ was in charge. Thankfully, those were excellent presents, and one worry less. The granades, I had to dispose of, they were a bit dangerous, then after too many years their explosives can become instable, according to my expert friends
unstable indeed...I had a Mauser with the eagle and swastica on it, in fine condition too, the bullets were 70 years old as well, they were err, green with envy...cleaned it well, all mechanisms checked but damn thing jammed every time I fired it, what a piece of shit.
Have two Mausers 98k, and they work perfect, i use one of them even for hunting. Your 70 year old ammo/bullets jammes, well, ... ever tried new ammo, 8*57IS is still in production. You didn´t use 8*57 IRS don´t you?
Btw, i found some 8*57IS ammo a few month ago produced in 1916. I don´t dare to use that ammo in my gun of course.

A fertile mind can be a wonderful thing...
it took a week, but the bankers got the greeks to reassure the "markets". how many zeros were deposited in Tsipras' bank account to get this???
"When it's important (to get elected) sometimes you have to lie" -Tsipras
It's not the zeros deposited in Tsipras's account, it's the zeros that got withdrawn from Greek banks leaving them totally bankrupt and illiquid without an ECB backstop which made the Greeks toe the line again this quickly. It's not Merkel they have to worry about, it's the evil Draghi (as Berlusconi found out).

Dear Greece,
Just fucking default and move on. It is your best option.
But but but...
Who will pay for the socialist utopia that's been promised?
Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!
I AM NOT REALLY GAY, BUT IF YOU FORGIVE ALOT OF DEBT I WILL DEFINITELY SUCK YOUR COCK.
Is Greece going to default?
Heck no, they will fall in line, you watch. If they don't, they're dead, pure and simple. Right now the Greek FinMin is running around to all the talking heads, like a chicken with his head cut off...and the morbid thing is, the IMF, Troika, etc, are quite amused.
This is shaping up to look like elections here in America(and most everywhere else), bluster, bloviate, get elected, change nothing.
Not that they were ever going to do anything sane to begin with over there, but I figured they would at least change something.
Holding hands. Gotta be some type of ritual shit.

In summary, Yanis told 'fuck you Draghi!' in a very polite way.
I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do... http://goo.gl/ezLA00
damn, you again...go away already!
All together now... abuse [at] zerohedge.com
Tspiras is definately not one of them. He is very uncomfortable with all this shit. That was very cringey.
He is, now. One of the "EuroCrats". Has the Greek vote in the all-powerful EU Council and all that
and so he gets the privilege of all those kisses and hugs and hand-holding of their secretary-in-chief, Juncker. Hey, what's a few kisses under continental europeans?
I remember the kind of kisses that were normal in the Warsaw Pact. Nothing for the faint of heart (or for American/Brits), those kisses on the open mouth
Juncker is famous for his touchy touch, btw. Usually a sign he needs a bottle of wine just to get away from his extreme lucidity. Or perhaps he already had two, or three, which brings his brain a bit more at the same level of all the others in the room. Just recently he was all over the Swiss minister, she was a bit... flummoxed
But at least Juncker does not assault people from behind the way Bush did on Merkel. And does not introduce dogs in the same room where she is, the famous dog-phobic, the way Putin did, recently
gross

IMHO what Greece wants
Is to first have a large chunk of debt written off --50% to 75%.
Then - immediately after the write off be given large loans so they have the cash to give everyone that has a job a raise, hire more government employees, restore pensions, do public works projects, develop other government controlled business and I am sure a few pie in the sky projects. How about some high speed rail or a sports stadium:-O.
The Greek plan can be boiled down to - don't make me pay back any of the money I have already borrowed - but give me more money to spend.
LOL, Greece will just give it away, to the welfare folks, more govt workers, etc...same as it ever was! Retire at 45 and bask in the sun.
nailed it
And it might well work.
Despite the fact that it would make economic sense to jettison Greece from the EU, Brussels doesn't want that precedent set.

You sit around here and you spin your little webs and you think the whole world revolves around you and your money. Well, it doesn't, Mr. Junker. In the whole vast configuration of things, I'd say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider!

Varoufakis comment that GREECE `WILL NEVER SEEK FINANCIAL AID' FROM RUSSIA
<<<
Russia gets permission for a port;
Greece's debts paid off directly by Russia.
Since no Russian money passed into Greek hands, to a lawyer/politician, Greece did not get financial aid.
The question is, do the Greeks just close the deal, or do they give Obama the chance to counter-bid?
And does China have any interest?
Watson
"Well, we've tried leading Greece by the nose and it didn't work. Let's try somewhere else...."
Just solve the goddamn problem once and for all....During WWII when the German armies were sweeping across western Russia, the Russians dismantled their industrial base, moved it eastwards by railroad cars and then reassembled it. No hand-wringing or wondering what to do, they ACTED and survived....
Great advice.
But Greece doesn't have an industrial base.
Any other ideas?
Hollande relished the moment and said "see, not so easy."
Default or fuck off
Hmhmh come with me Mr Tsipras
Let me show you what we will do to you Greek Style in the backroom
This hand holding shit that's so big among these elitist ass hats is seriously creepy to me. Any guy reaches to grab my hand like that and he's getting socked

Big mistake.
BIG!

it sure will
"Varoufakis comment that GREECE `WILL NEVER SEEK FINANCIAL AID' FROM RUSSIA"
Perhaps "aid" is the operative word. No beggars bowl. But he didn't say Greece wouldn't set up some sort of mutually beneficial "deal" with Russia.
Jean-Claude Juncker: "When it's serious, you have to lie"
Yanis Varoufakis: "We will never ask for financial assistance in Moscow"
Game theory: What goes around, comes around. Keep your eye on the ball.
Juncker: "What's money between friends, Alexis. Can't we just get along? I'll buy lunch. Taco truck?"
'I would have preferred a reach-around!'
lets see, it's my first time, the checks in the mail, and I'll only stick the head of it in. That pretty much sums it up.
