The German Press Does It Again: "Give Me The Money Or I Shoot"
When a message needs to be sent by the powers that be, the German press can always be relied upon to send it, no matter how divisive (as they did here, here, and here). So it is no surprise that with the stakes appearing to have never been higher, Handelsblatt unleashes the following...
Translated: "Give Me The Money Or I'll Shoot"
And this is how the Greeks promptly responded on Twitter...

Fine retort by rocco!
Oh how I love ZH.
I think the Handelsblatt cover would be better if it was Tsipras climbing into a Mitsubishi Zero ca., 1945.
Shoot! Sayeth the EU!
The German mag took their negotiating strategy concept from Blazing Saddles.
Every effort is being made to keep Greece from leaving and establishing a sound currency and stable society:

Germany stuck with the Euro are the ones who are in deep, deep trouble.
Do what he say! Do what he say!
Now that Lagarde has done a 180 it's obvious that Washington is meddling behind the scenes and have declared that no way should Greece be allowed to leave the EUR and fall into the open arms of Russia and China. If the Greeks are smart enough to see it, this strengthens their hand very much. If they vote "No", they can then negotiate a serious debt reduction deal with an EU under pressure from Washington. Who pays is immaterial to Greece.
True said. LaGarde has done a 180 under the sheets and is now getting it "Greek style" from the US for letting this crisis to the point that Vlad the Impale Her might be a savior.
... what's the German language translation for "German Presstitute Lamestream Media"? ... well, it's the same in context, I guess ... "Deutsch Presstitute Lamestream Medien" ...
There's Banzai gold in that thar picture...!
Why would a "russian" Greece be a problem or a threat? On the contrary. As a € holding, EU maximum taxbracket paying citizen, I'd thank my lucky stars that this agrarian, costly dwarf is finally someone else's problem.
Trust me, basically everyone here would think the same.
As to China... forget it. The Chinese see Greece as a cheap and corruptible entry into Europe. Without the €, Greece is much less interesting.
As a sidenote, I'd suggest you ask the Greeks on the street, no - make that a referendum.... what they would rather like: the EU & the € or Russia ........ lotza lulz.
this place... just got my daily dose of lulz. thanks
as a side-side note... all this bashing of German media exposes typical ignorance. The media landscape in most democratic countries is varied. You will find papers of any hue and colour. I challenge anyone to find me a more informed, balanced and quality mainstream media newspaper with a large circulation than the Frankfurter Allgemeine. Guess that's the advantage of being able to comfortably read newspapers in 4 different languages. It allows for an informed opinion, something very lacking here.
Lo, the reincarnation of Ghordius is upon us. LOL.
If you can't see why The US might not want Greece, a NATO member, to establish Russian Military bases in Greece Including a Naval base in The Med) or for Greece to join the Eurasian project lead by China, then I'm afraid it's a waste of time responding further. You probably also hadn't noticed that there are HUGE geopolitical games being played at the moment and both Russia and China would be prepared to help Greece financially over the tough times to see it join their camp.
I don't give two fucks what the US want. They can fuck off to their 16 trillion debt for all I care. They're not paying my bills, nor are they paying Greece's bills. I am.
If you think Russia has the means to get financially involved in any way, you've been sleeping this last year. If you think possible financial support a legitimate reason - or even an interest for military bases, then think again. If you think Russia's talk is anything but an attempt at disruptive posturing, then think again.
There is nothing HUUUGE involved, apart from in the minds of ZH tinfoilhatters. But then again, without you guys I wouldn't get my lulz. Thanks.
So why not tell the US and their puppets in Kiev to Fuck off rather than having Washington destroy your economies with sanctions and dragging you into WWIII, which will be fought on European soil?
how? how do you say Uncle Sam what he is allowed to do and what not? Ukraine is not in the EU, remember? nor in NATO
The particular argument being refuted was that "We (By insinuation the EU) dont give two F***s about the US". That being the case, why stick with the US position on Ukraine with sanctions that hurt the EU more than Russia and the risk of a US-created war on European soil? Thanks for the current affairs lesson but actually I was aware that Ukraine is neither a NATO member nor a member of The EU.
ah, now I understand your argument. yet I still see the sanctions as a message to Russia, not as an approval of US actions. we'll see
I still don't see the situation in Ukraine as being caused by Russia but by the US neocons (Including Ms "Fuck the EU" Nuland) as a deliberate provocation of Russia, as indeed is moving military equipment and holding exercises right on the Russian border. The EU badly needs an independent foreign policy which places its own interests first.
We'll see.
Schatzi I for one have read FAZ very often, and it is extremely tilted toward western ideas and mass media thought. Titles such as 'Tsipras is throwing his people into desperation' give proof of that bias. When wanting to leave a comment critizing that bias it won't even get published! So come up with a more neutral german media and we can talk but I'm guessing it is pretty difficult to find.
You're just one of the hundreds of thousands in Germany who think the borrower is to blame for when he can't pay back his bills instead of the one lending it to him, go and rave about it but do it in the FAZ forum or any other newspaper that seems 'neutral' enough to you!
If Schatzi thinks for one second that a major news outlet is in any way independent and is free of the entangling tendrils of the oligarchic vampire establishment then he is seriously deluded.
hahahaha, says the guy hailing from the most indebted city in Germany. Leeching off the industrious work of others, lecturing on debt and blame. Please dude, pay your taxes, vote in a local government that is willing to balance its budget and then come back to me.
As to western bias... yeah, I'm assuming you're an oldtimer Ossi that struggles with the concepts and values of the west. I'm sorry dude, if you want to read something anti-west, head over to the Pravda or Izvestia.
philipat, you are being silly. where did I ever put it in schatzi's terms? in regard to geopolitics? meanwhile, I don't see Uncle Sam putting a hand in the pocket and sending some money to Greece, do I?
No, I don't see the US fronting up with more cash either, quite apart from the fact that in reality the financial position of the US is no different to Greece except that Greece cannot print money out of thin air. Which makes it all the more surprising that the EU continues to suck it up. Those NSA Files must be very interesting? Especially the one on Merkel perhaps? But I DO see Russia and China doing so for their own (Different) strategic reasons.
Welcome back by the way, it must have frantic for a Eurobureaucrat in the last few weeks.....
yeah, its not like 8 years ago when "european" banks needed their bets covered, the banksters tanned uncle sugar's ass until he relented and covered their bets and stuck the "us" with a shit ton of it
Aren't you the arrogant bitch? I don't think this world is good enough for you. Maybe you should leave and see if anyone notices or cares.
The antics of the German press are of least concern in this. What is far more telling is that SDP heavyweights as Martin Schultz and Sigmar Gabriel are openly chastening Syriza.
The centre-left is taking a dangerous gamble. They render themselves vulnerable to the criticism that Social Democracy has been coopted by the neo-liberal project of the bankers and the corporations, and has been reduced to a sanitized mouthpiece of vested interests.
Eirik, that chasm between the Radical Left and the Moderate Left was always there. Tsipras and the European Radical Left thought they could span a bridge, but they failed, and it's not the first time
the question, in politics and ideology, is always if you are in because you have positive values to uphold or you are just in to fight what you see as aggressions
note, for example, how often in ZH we both read comments that are Anti-Left... period. i.e. with no positive conservative or liberal values, just "damn the socialists"
all people that never had a mother, you'd have to think, and never experienced the primal positive "socialism" that mothers have towards their children, the root of all "social thinking"
"socialism" flows from... tits. a gland made for unselfish behaviour, if you want ;-)
but thinking only with your tits or your heart can make extremely bad policies in the long run, imho
There's nothing "moderate" about inducing an economic depression within a society, nor is it "radical" to try to achieve a basic standard of living for everyone.
The schism Social Democracy is opening up between the progressive left and itself goes beyond issues of ideology. The German Social Democrats show unambiguously that they are willing to take sides against ordinary people, such as pensioners, at the behest of Europe's banks and corporations.
This behavior is characteristic of the right, which was quite literally founded to lobby on behalf of the status quo and the vested interests within a society. Ergo, one can't shake the impression that the situation in Greece is causing masks to fall from people's faces.
"...nor is it "radical" to try to achieve basic standards of living for everyone"
sorry, it is radical. I am not judging the wish as such, but in the political context this view is radical, contingent on whom and how much
take a proposal to give every living person on the planet a basic income of two dollars per day as example. equalist? yes
what we are talking about here is something different from that, isn't it? whom and how much
and the (negative but often encountered) characteristic mentality on the Left is to gloss on how much, and often also being disingenuos about whom
Eirik -
Maybe economics is difficult for you. Its okay, it goes above most people's heads.
That being said -- in a civilized society -- you need 3 classes of people, the rich, the middle class & the poor. If try and eliminate the poor you eliminate the rich and middle class instead.
Not to worry, the moment people bring in WW2 as a 'argument', they have already lost
I'm not German, but i can imagine the irritation you might/must feel.
I am American, living in Germany, but the GF/fiance is German, but yeah it is really annoying.
The worst thing is *literally* any political discussion on FB right now. You're hard pressed to find one without Nazis being brought up at least once.
Its annoying, and its tired. The quicker the world can have a new boogie man the better. I would have thought with Stalin's mass murder of 20 million people, or Mai's mass murder of 60 million people the world would have moved on. Then are are the Kims in North Korea, and Pol Pot, but alas, many the world over love to flog the dead horse.
Well, you can't connect the Japanese to this one. The Germans own it for better or worse.
But, don't worry, Japan is creating its own version of financial Hell and the media and politicians will be over them like white on rice soon enough.
https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/378800000697945639/a7eeae038851851a...
How about the Americans' murder of 30 million people across the globe in over 200 direct and proxy wars of aggression since the end of WW2?
And with several major conflicts ongoing as I type.
Does that qualify?
Sure.
Respect.
I think the wars against the american indians was the real start.. got that 'taste' going. Just look at a $20 bill and think of the ones that really made the taking of New Orleans possible and then they where rewarded with the 'trail of tears'. Bill Clintion's stated favorate president (or as I call him, 'lovable rouge #1').
Andrew Jackson. The only president to pay off the national debt. The man directly responsible for the expiration and non renewal of the second bank of the united states, that delayed central banking for 80 years in this country, and ushered in the industrial revolution, hard money, and 0% inflation for 80 years.
My favorite President too.
In general I would agree, however in this case there is direct relevance to WW2.
In WW2 Germany was trying to conquer Europe under the Third Reich, a military conqueror.
What we see today is Germany trying to conquer Europe under the Fourth Reich (AKA EU), a financial conqueror. Trying to do bloodlessly what they failed to do with mass murder last time around.
The question is the same: will all of Europe accept rule from Berlin?
Ha! Such amateurish work compared to one W.Banzai!
The EU is like that song Hotel California. You can check in but you can NEVER leave.
I want to print up a ton of your work and plaster the entire country with it
Shouldn't that be the EU holding the gun to its own head?
Governments kill like 6-10 times the amount from war.
Stalin killed like 60 Million, Germany 10s of millions.
Democide is what it is called.
Is EU/Troika a Threat to the Lives of Greece? Yes. Starvation, Disease, Refugee Camps, Murder & Rape in Refugee Status, Destruction of Families, Traditions, Culture, Ancestry & history, Economies, Family Businesses, Small & Medium Businesses...
This is Warfare if not Genocide.
The Economic Disaster alone brings this to War level.
And dehumanizing the Greek is just like war.
Maybe they are just Communists, so who cares?
Maybe they are Spoiled, or a welfare state out of control, or corrupt wage and pension earners... so they deserve to be ignored, deprived, cut-off, and forced to suffer & starve.
Pifff... they are subhuman. S/
(Irony)
Some 36,000,000 a year die of starvation, and another 850,000,000 are malnourished, at risk of starvation. The UN publishes these numbers.
One has to wonder how much of this is due to agribusinesses like Monsanto and the mining expansion which forces people off of their farmland. There is enough food for 12 billion people, so basically this situation is like the Holodomor repeating every single year.
Pretty hard to say who is responsible, but USNATO is most likely the greatest beneficiary...
Maybe if those stupid fucks in Africa that have no way to feed 10 kids should quit having 10 kids.
Yes, this is a classic example of misdirection.
planed bad bank events = the weekend always
I hope greece understands that they hold basically the world in their hands at this point in time...what they choose to do will effect all humanity. I am serious here, it really is true. Come on greeks, even if it hurts temporarily, do the right thing. If the shoe was on my foot I would do it for you....Go icleandic or kiss my ass...seriously...I would do it for you, I swear.
There is one very simple reality I can not come to terms with.
On one hand we have all these minority groups demanding more rights in their society and affirmative action being enforced in many countries - all strongly supported by their media even though it undermines the delicate fabric of that society.
On the other we have big bankers and Germany screwing a small country which is in financial trouble so that the entire society is impacted upon and yet the same media put the blame solely at the feet of the Greek Government. Somehow all those millions of pensioners and poor who are impacted on by their autocratic approach now count for nothing in the eyes of mainstream media.
We know who runs the 5th Estate and their reporting reflects this - WHY DO WE SIT THERE AND TAKE IT?
This is BS
A real lack of vision/long term thought.
Lots of people have hitched thier wagon to a bunch of scamers, pimps and whores.
Click-through news cycle. Click an arrow, post a comment, someone tally's the toll, and there is your new poll. Give the spin meisters four hours, and there is your new headline. Very little of this disposable 'news' is really newsworthy. More like posting gaming sentiment.
The Germans aren't nearly as smart as I thought they were. Tsipras doesn't want their money. He knows taking on any more loans just makes Greece's problems that much worse. He has no intention of putting his country any deeper in debt. He's about to take them out of debt, whether the Germans realize it or not.
He claims Greece will remain a part of the EU... that's the "European Union"... but doesn't mean they would use the Euro anymore. The English don't. I think they fire up the presses, print their own Drachma, go through hellish inflation for a few years and come out the other side of it in awesome shape. Just like Iceland did when 'they' told the Germans and the IMF to fuck right off. Tsipras is wise to the BIS, the IMF, the Fed. the Vatican... all of them. He know their plan of destroying every country in Europe by burying them in debt and eternal servitude. And eventually the USA as well. Tsipras is simply telling them to fuck off. They haven't gotten the message yet I guess.
Allow me to bridge this post and D4W's below; if more pensioners show up Sunday, the odds favor a Yes vote, as they are the only ones who have any possibility of benefit from staying in the Euro. If, on the other hand, the majority of the younger voters show up, No will be the overwhelming result, as this is what would benefit the most Greeks. So it will come down to who can buy the vote counters. Does anyone have a sense of who the wealthy Greeks favor? I wouldn't be surprised to find that there are still a few Onassis-class cruisers around, and they almost certainly got their cash and gold out of the country years ago. What is in their best interest?
Let me bridge your post.
It does not matter which Greek voter group shows up.
The election will be rigged just like all others in U.S., Europe and in their associated countries.
Just wait for the results and we know what those guys counting the votes want.
The Greek govt is already dead, it has nothing to lose.
60% of people under the age of 30 in Greece have no future/job.
They have nothing to lose by going back to drachmas.
The pensioners / retirement aged people are delusional if they think their pension will be there (deal or no deal).
If Greece makes a deal, pensions get seized by ECB, if Greece makes no deal, pensions get seized by Greek govt (if there is anything left to take that is).
Its a lose, lose, lose situation.
The only difference:
Leave Euro , Lose what you have.
Stay in the Euro, Lose what you have, plus a lot more over time.
When you are slashed and losing blood, it make sense to bandage the wound and stop the bleeding.
You dont get into more debt (cut the wound wider) and bleed to death faster. . . unless suicide is your ultimate goal.
Germany and the ECB/Troika are asking Greece to bleed to death slowly over the next few months instead of quickly and recover over the next few weeks.
60% of people under the age of 30 in Greece have no future/job. They have nothing to lose by going back to drachmas.
The pensioners / retirement aged people are delusional if they think their pension will be there (deal or no deal).
Sad to say, That's a Bingo !

Fixed it for you. There is not one!!!!! media enterprise in Germany that is not tightly controlled by the bankers via the CIA.

The fucking dumb relentless greedy and corrupt media which is in bed with its politicos ...
And the fucking dumb sheeple which listens to the fucking dumb relentless greedy and corrupt media ...
Nothing changed since Stonage ...
Herd of fucking ignorant and fucking greedy dumb animals ...
Once in a while Germans show some sense of humor.
It is bad humor but still....
The "Germans" behind this go by the name of Rothschild or Soros or The CFR or MIC or GS or JPM. But certainly not the germans.
!!! WRONG ---- the german sheeple let it happen !!!
Everybody all the time has the choice to say "Nein".
If they all say "Nein" - your boyz (Rothschild ...) are fucked.
But they are ALL fucking ignorant.
No "Nein".
Instead .... popcorn, games, porn, ipads, iphones, beer, weisswurscht, bmws, audis, ...
The sheeple and slaves don't care who rules them ... as long as there is something (even if it's only crap) on the table ...
Rothschilds are just the result of the relentless dumb and ignorant sheeple ...
So don't blame the Rothschilds ...
Blame yourself ...
No I blame you. What are you doing besides blogging like the rest of us here?
Personally I don't have the inclination to be the world watch dog.
Poor ROI in time and effort.
Something large to anticipate and trade on, maybe.
OT, I don't understand those obviously rotten Tweets at all.
If there are swear words in them, then there is something new to be learned.
Exactly, Germany was destroyed after both the World Wars. Economically and then culturally.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany_Must_Perish!
They figured out a way to sterilize Germans in a more 'civilised' manner.
I as a German am ashamed.
But there is hope after Greece sets the step.
Don't be ashamed as a German. We all have asshole politicians who are either clueless, incompetent or dshonest.
Hmmmm...will that be a goose step...
Why be ashamed? Cause you're dominate and can pay your bills? Is a lion ashamed cause he killed the gazelle? The Greeks are weak and stupid... So is nature.
If the Greeks give in ... = vote for austerity (= vote for further [minimum a generation] cocksucking) ... what they will - either this way or that way (fear mongering and greed almost always works) - they 100% deserve what will follow after ...
= further kicking the can down the road ... "fuck give me the money, who cares who pays it back"
= tighter rope around the neck ... for the fucking lazy greek dogs ... instead of (proudly) standing together and fight those stinkin' hyaenas ...
= debt and joblessness wont go away anytime soon ... and instead it will get much worse ...
Anyway they deserve (and will get) whatever they elect ...
There is no way out ... as this whole western system of corrupt and bought (by banks and media) politicos stinks from its head ... and only the sheeple could vote them out ...
but the sheeple have learned absolutely nothing since Stonage ...
dumbest ignorantest possible animals ...
there's nothing worse on this planet ...
and there's nothing we can do about it ... as there are close to 8 billion of this useless crap ...
The truth is it is the bankers that are threatening suicide. Let them die already.
yeah, they forgot the orange tip on his gun there, with an AA gun pointed at banks
Handelsblatt has not been reading Zero Hedge. Otherwise they would have placed a nail gun in Tsipras's hand toward head.
Such an image would be banned on US college campuses what with all the triggering I see. A gun (OM, MY!). And that guy looks white! It's possible he's gay but I think he has a wife. The asshat looks like a rapist, too (even if he hasn't raped anyone, you can be sure he's thinking about it). He's probably a fucking Christian.
How dare they print that!
German press is not making a fart without first asking the US for permission.
The same accounts for German politicians. They are peeing into their pants because they fear personal consequences.
Read what Sigmar Gabriel, German Economic minister, deputy chancellor, President of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) says about himself:
"Sigmar Gabriel, the deputy chancellor and economy minister, said he remained relaxed about the claims (that his phones were bugged). “You have a rather ironic relationship towards all this,” he said. “We don’t do anything in the ministries on the telephone that would be worth bugging.”
He said it was far more pressing to find out whether the NSA had spied on German businesses. “My ministry is responsible for protecting companies from economic espionage, and that I find the more problematic topic,” he said."
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/02/merkel-aide-summons-us-amba...
Ha, Ha, HaHe knows the system perfectly well and therefore he knows that the US is permanently monitoring all important companies as well as the patent office not only the German one but also the European one which are both located in Munich. Any invention which is of importance is going to be hijacked or supressed (by declaring it as important and therefore secret).
However what he didn't say was that the whole computer system of the German parliament and the government as well as each and every computer connected to it was under control of the NSA. The cant fix it thats why everything is going to be set up completely new during summer when parliament is not meeting.
http://rt.com/news/271102-nsa-german-ministers-wikileaks/
But its not only the press and the government in Germany that is under the tight control of the US. Thanks to the allmighty internet installed and run by the US there is nearly nothing in Germany that can not be influenced, sabotaged or destroyed. Be it the railway system, power plants, hospitals, administration what ever you name its connected to the net. German high tech can not work if the net does not want that to happen.
This means that Germany is not only occupied by numerous military bases, its also hosting Central Command, AfriCom, CIA headquarter Europe and so on and so on. Germany is tightly gripped by the US at its balls. No train is running, no plane is flying etc if the US does not want this to happen. There are no German spies nor does there exist a German army. Its all US - period.
However things are coming into motion. Not long ago the so called German government dared to express the opinion, that all spying against Germany even its done by its Nato allies is a crime and is going to be punished in the future. Ha, Ha Ha. At least that shows that there exists the will to change something.
So the article is complete BS. in 99.9 % of all the cases a German newspaper writes something about politics or economics or banking etc. its a mesage brought forward by the powers which are in control of Germany. Handelsblatt is no difference at all. Its just spreading US propaganda.
Amazing both world wars started by german acts...does this say anything about the germans?? Nah guess not.
Nah but it sures says a lot about the quality of the "edukashun" you got.
If the Nazis hadn't assassinated Archduke Ferdinand, America maybe wouldn't have had to fight for independence from the German Empire.
Right, Commodore?

Too ass vee sey...
In the savana the lions have caught a gazelle and are now going to eat it. All around the other gazelles continue to forage, probably happy that this was not happening to them. Today the polititians in Italy,Spain, Portugal etc. are blaming Greekes who fight for their survival as their country and a decent life. All around they are blaming the greeks to be lazy and corrupt, there is probably some thuth in it. In the last few years Greece has lost 27% of GDP, they cut pensions by 47%, they cut deeply into government expenses and did many other sacrifices and still they are blamed to be lazy and corrupt, they say: they deserve to be eaten by the lions. It will not take much longer for the lions to eat this little gazelle and then turn to the others. Soon though all the gazelles will be eaten and the lions will have no more food.
Russia pays the Greek debt as it comes due and pumps up the price of natural gas sold to Europe to get their money back. In exchange they get a naval and air base in Greece.
The question the Greeks have is a lot like that facing the Millenials in the United States. Are you better off staying in your parents basement and paying 20% of your income toward your student debt - or would you be better off without student debt so that you can afford to find your own place?
the difference is there is some indication that the greeks are willing to fight for greece. the millenials have gotten so comfortable in mom's basement they complain there aren't enough hot pockets in the fridge.
Does the article mention that 89% of the money went straight back to troika and to the banks in europe?
Germany is run by the Oligarchs they own the press and are in cahoots with the government which serves their interests.
Link Completed.
Did America provide Greece with even a fraction of the funding (Marshall Plan) that Germany got to rebuild after the war?
I doubt it.
this is some of the greatest theater in the history of the west. we all know how this will end. germany, france and japan are trapped in a usa bdsm dungeon. all they can do is accept their fate while they enjoy the spoils of allowing the usa to whip and beat them into compliance. merkel's first comment post putin's defection was the tell. she asked rhetorically if putin was crazy. in return, putin has constantly tried to sow the seeds of dissent within the eurozone knowing that if there was a way out merkel would jump at the opportunity. she has said as much. the usa is desparately trying to control the story, the reality. the fact is the real reality must prevail in the end. the real reality is the usa is israel with a 16 trillion dollar economy and the world is gaza. putin is hezbollah, a rebel force able to jab the usa at will without serious consequences because the target knows losing to the russians means a western exodus into the brics camp signalling the end of the empire and the risk of losing is very high. like wall street and the fed the usa.gov has backed themselves into an all or nothing corner that has to lead to a hot war as a climax.
freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. greece, spain and portugal(and increasingly france. we will see with le pen) have reached that point. this is post ww1 britain, deeply in debt with the colonies getting restless and an economic and military threat rising from the ashes offering another alternative. this time the entire western world under the anglobritneocon banner is threatened with the end of 500 hundred years of world domination, returning to the pre western world of asian domination of world economics. unfortunately for the jews they will pay for their obvious role in this play. the chinese(nor putin's russia) obviously don't fuck around when it comes to retribution for real and perceived offenses against the state. ask adelson if you doubt it. he would be dead if he were chinese.
it is a great time to be alive even if it may kill me. this is a thrilling live performance.
I think the cover art nailed it. The only problem in my estimation is Germany's unwillingness in kick Greece to the curb. Stop giving them money.
I called it.
Tsipras stole his act from Mel Brooks.
Yes Sir Schatzi, you're so hard-working independent and self-righteous because American GIs gave their lives, fortune and future so you and all of Europe can be a first class "prune-face" to all the ignorant Americans whose Marshall Plan rebuilt your homelands and guaranteed the peace for the past two generations.
America is never so grateful to have broken with Europe as it is on the 4th of July when we blow stuff up in celebration of that fact.
