He should have exited the EURO and resigned.
Tsipras says:
Ich habe keine Bälle.The slang you are looking for is "Eier" or "eggs."
"Ich habe keine Eier" means I have no testicles.
"Ich habe keine Bälle" means "I have no balls which are used for various sporting activities."
Sunday was the end of Greece.
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
? Frank Herbert, Dune
You would think the best way for Greece to spend the little bit of money they still have would be to employee some of the best known preppers and have them teach the nation to survive and thrive.
Hi, my name is Alexis, and I'm a traitor to my people.
“I rather spend every Sunday of my life hanging off a cliff to rescue someone than spend one more time sitting in a pew next to hypocrites that talk about what they will do to better themselves and the world when they get around to it.”

My hands are up. Don't shoot! This isn't Ferguson.
You bet Pinto. From this day forward it will be " The colony formerly referred to as Greece".
This sounds like an excuse from a conniving untrustworthy bastard who wants sympathy from a mob of angry people ready to lynch his sorry ass.
Alternative headlines:
'I signed this deal, so that we could know what's in it.'
'Better my foot in my mouth, less a nailgun to my head. One of 100 reasons I signed this bill.'
'The choice was easy. I had to sign Johnny Fontane for my new war movie.'
HANDS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Government officials: accepting bribes, giving into threats, and screwing the people since 4000 bc.
zerohedge @zerohedge 2m2 minutes ago TSIPRAS SAYS HE'S THE ONE ACCOUNTABLE FOR VAROUFAKIS'S MISTAKES
FFS! Even his mistakes are not his own. Please.....I am implore you....shoot me....shoot me now.
As much as you hate Varoufakis you should be willing to agree that he was effectively acting as an employee/agent of his PM.
Tsipras is the executive: the guy calling the shots and committing Greece legally to agreements. IF Tsipras later claims he agreed to terms that he didn't believe are in the best interests of Greece he should simply say that he was pressured and couldn't do any better -and demand that the parliament vote NO to the odious agreement...
Varoufakis apparently didn't wish to continue supporting and implementing the decisions of Tsipras and quit his post as he should have.
Varoufakis reached the point where he believed further concessions were not in the interests of the Greek citizenry, said as much, and resigned.
Tsipras owns this mess. He was either coerced or blackmailed or bribed or a combination of the three. It is Tsipras that must recant before the Greek Parliament or resign.
Unlike Tsipras, I don't see much reason to be acrimonious towards Varoufakis.
I was looking for something almost English,
like Spanglish;)
Tsirpakis: "SEE... I Win, I Win!!!"
The EU Boyz Obviously Slipped Tsirpakis Some High Doses Of ""HAPPY DRUGS"" ...
Saudi Buyout Of Greece Coming To An Acropolis Near You...
is that using the queen's german?
Regrettably we haven't had a queen in almost 100 years.
Nor Liberty for 2500 years
He should hang for treason. The people spoke and no one listened. Is this the world we live in now? It is until we stop it.
Calling Tsipras a surrender monkey is an insult to primates.
Tsipras makes the French look like Chuck Norris.
Tsipras = Pussy.
Pussy Riots?
Riot Pussy
Worse than a pussy, this is a man who has been a leader in the communist party for most of his life. He does not believe in private property. He cannot imagine anything other than state control of every facet of economic life.
What? Repudiate the debt, issue a new currency and let the private sector bring on prosperity for the people of Greece? Not a chance!
Slavery to the state is the only option he can imagine.
What? You mean people are starting to wake up to the fact that he and Yanis are not rebels but are part of the control system?
Any choice that leaves control over the people in the hands of the least amount of masters possible is the one he will make, period.
Those bad-ass bitches did time in a Russian prison. Don't ever compare this fairy to them.
A Greek traitor
The Greeks voted OXI and you want to push an even worse deal on them? SHAME on you
*TSIPRAS SAYS HAD TWO OPTIONS: DEAL OR EXITING THE EURO
Greece is still in the eurozone, therefore Greeks got exactly what they wanted.
Careful what you wish for.
You make a good point. The ppl are fcking stupid then.
But the question must be asked - why the referendum....a joke and insult.
Tsipras is that fcking creature in 300 that does the dirty on the spartans.
One more thing - Greece can do what Greece wants anytime....they need the right leader.
Oh well, bye bye Greece, your assets, your islands, your future...all for money that was thin-air. Ha!
Valar Dohaeris
meh, that may be so but the e-minis love it!
in the end that is all that really matters.
And an even worse night for you.
TSIPRAS SAYS AGREEMENT GIVES GREECE OPPORTUNITY TO EXIT CRISIS
You can be so delusional:
The Greek Government currently owes 323 billion euros — almost three times as much as it did in 2010 when debt was 110 billion euros. The debt rose 213 billion euros, during 5 years of IMF-imposed “austerity” — the Greek depression.
Isn't it sort of like being saved from bankruptcy by being bankrupted?
Feel like I am missed something...
Saved from rape through forced sexual intercourse.
"By agreeing fo it" indeed.
Talk about a "remarkable turn of events."
Well, in a way it was foreseeable that he would cave. I mean, a Grexit would require some advance planning, right? Wouldn't the Greek government have to print/coin money and set up a national bank?
I don't recall hearing that Greece either did or did not do anything in the way of getting set up for an orderly exit. Hence, it would follow that no exit was ever planned.
If that's true, they'd better spend ALL of the bailout money on paper and ink.. This "deal" only makes sense if it's a stalling tactic to GTFO.
To the country formally refereed to as Greece, welcome to Europe's financial version of The Hotel California,
Perhaps they could borrow Prince's symbol.
HABITAT: Cyclops live in freshwater, such as ponds and lakes. They prefer areas of still water with a lot of algae.
THEIR PLACE IN THE FOOD CHAIN:
Cyclops are omnivores; they eat algae, small animals, detritus but not usually fish. But weak fry MAY be harmed by these copepods.
Some species of Cyclops are not free-living, existing instead as fish parasites, but these are not common.
Tropical and native fish enthusiasts utilize the cyclopoids as a high protein live fish food, especially for immature fishes, and in a fair twist of fate, some Cyclops species have been found feasting on larval fishes, particularly in fish hatcheries.
Squid have a sweet tooth for em.
The Rothschilds have spoken. Move along....
Stocks love it...maybe they were expecting his resignation or something.
Oh look the Greek version of the " Hope and Change " speech bull shit... Now if he just says it enough times the people will believe it.
wanker
@Haus-Targaryen
He should've told Germany to shove their deal up their ass & then gotten on a phone to Putin, told him he wanted to convert to the Ruble and sell port access.
Watch Nato (Germany) turn around and start throwing money at Tsaprias then. But no, He totally did not have the cojones to do any of this.
I've got to wonder if Germany has his kids hidden somewhere or if the USA did something to block Greece from ever thinking of Putin as a savior?
This deal is so bad even Krugman hates it.
even russians don't want rubles
Debt restructuring after 2022. That's funny shit. There won't be a Euro at that point.
So smart move by Greece
"
"
NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE ASSERTIONS ARE TRUE.
WAIT UNTIL 2022 TO FUCKING RESTRUCTURE DEBTS?
...................INSANITY.................
NOW HERES A SNEAK PEAK AT NEXT WEEKS EPISODE!
What a joke this guy has been.
"

NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE ASSERTIONS ARE TRUE.
WAIT UNTIL AFTER 2022 TO FUCKING RESTRUCTURE DEBTS???!?
...................TOTAL FUCKING INSANITY.................
What is trewth but individual perception of the trewth?
Check.
All I hear over and over again is this MARXIST CLAP TRAP about how Greece is being so abused.
When are we going to start considering the plight of the hard working Euroland taxpayer who is now expected to stump up some additional tax money to bail out the wild out of control spending Greeks.
How soon it is forgotten that Greece, with the help of the vampire squid Goldman Sachs, cooked it's books and essentially 'CHEATED THEIR WAY INTO THE EURO'!!
All of the Syriza-Marxist lovers should consider this option;
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE TERMS, NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO TAKE THE MONEY.
How exactly did this get dumped on the European taxpayers instead of the banks who lent Greece the money in the first place?
Once upon a time there was a system called capitalism, where if you made a lot of stupid loans you ate the losses and went bankrupt.
This is the banks playing both sides against each other. Think about it you have one nation, in this case Greece borrowingto stay afloat from the other nations who are also borrowing to lend to Greece. Both sides are borrowing from the bank.
I think ZH is getting a bit of the freerepublic crowd...when they think of bankers they think of George Bailey.
I've asked before, I'll ask again:
Why those who cry "taxpayers money" today weren't bitching about it in 2010?
What on earth are you talking about? This has nothing to do with taxpayers. This is money which is magic'd into existence by central and commercial banks. It doesn't exist before the loans are made.
I am not a waffle!
(actually I think this guy was shown the light...do what we say...or bad, bad, things are going to happen to you and your family)
Nobody had to show him the light. He knew the score.
Forget the CIA---there was no way he could have returned to Athens that night and expected the army to let him live if he'd pulled the plug.
he is selling the people their servitude. Shameful.
TSIPRAS SAYS HAD TWO OPTIONS: DEAL OR EXITING THE EURO
General Tsipras stunningly seized victory from the jaws of defeat for the Greek Free Shit Army and Free Shit Armies worldwide.
Worst premier ever.
Now we know what Yanis left: he was surrounded by incompetence.
Incompetence?
None Dare Call it Treason?
Varoufakis left because his boss was not prepared to move to the next level of chicken i.e. issuing IOUs etc
(the turning point was when the ECB paused ELA - borderline legal or not some panicked)
Greeks need to start impeachment proceedings.
I bet they thought that the election and referendum was supposed to stop this.
Electors remorse.
This is near enough to treason.
He deserves little more than his own personal lamp post.
This is no man. This is a spineless little girl. I hope things get so bad that they hang this animal.
Little girls have more sense than he has, he is a boot licker of the worst kind
Yes. He richly deserves the Mussolini treatment.
A traitor and a coward.
I wouldn't compare this man to a little girl or animal.
A little girl given the decision to either have her country raped and pillaged or to go their own way most certainly would decide that the best bet would be to have faith in her country and leave.
An animal offered this choice by a banker well would most likely run away or attack. Both would be good options but neither woudl result in accepting the deal.
No this is a cunt
Nope, cunts are useful.
Sorry, I couldn't resist it.
Why, sure, he'll accept responsibility and resign,,,as soon as the gold is removed from the Greek treasury and safely stored in an undisclosed location off shore.
Anyone who sees him In public should just yell out that he is a faggot. Every minute of every day. I have never seen anything in this guy from day one. And yet, even this has action blown my mind. FAGGOT !!!
thanks but us faggots don't want him either !
There was a fork in the road and he took the wrong one.
Perhaps he will be in luck and hold out till the whole shit house comes down so they can all be bankrupt together.
Generate new income. Sell the rights to televised riots.
IN BLOODY COLOR!!
FT.
IMF just said it can not cooperate with this deal.
Deal off.
SHHHH dont tell the bots, they are partying today, dont ruin it for them... Merkel gave Barry the middle claw and he aint taking it well.
Nice Goop, Goop. AKA Bollocks in English.
So now he is giving their elected reps reason to vote the deal down. Is thie a planned tactics or is it by accident?
Greece's approval is a done deal, the question will come down to if the Finns or others delay it long enough for something bad to happen.
Several countries finance ministers, including Alexander Stubb of Finland, have stated that IMF participation is an absolute 'RED LINE' for them. So it looks like the deal could be off if the IMF does the 'thumbs down'!!
Why the fuck would the IMF give it the thumbs down, AFTER the event? Even they aren't that fucking stupid.
Because the "event" was a cobbled up "decision" of the EuroGroup, a mouthpiece for Germany, without the IMF.
Do you actually believe the other countries in the IMF, US, Canada, UK, China, India, Russia, Australia, etc should just allow Schauble to decide what they will have to pay to prop up Greece and the euro?
Politicians are like dogs (not trying to give dogs a bad name) and always run to the next fire hydrant to smell and pee on rather than listen to their masters voice (voters). If they listened to their master he/she would say “listen politician, stay where you are and stop running off in new directions your antics are killing me…”

TSIPRAS: SCHAEUBLE HAD TOLD VAROUFAKIS OPTION WAS DEAL OR EXIT
And could he legally force that?
"I will assume responsibilities." BULLSHIT - what the hell does that mean? How can you take responsibility - how do you prove that - what happens to you - NOTHING! How about you stand in front of your parliament and let the people hang you until you're dead - that would go a long way to asuage the pain your own people are about to feel.
This is the "new" buzzword for politicians. I assume responsibility with zero consequence. It's meaningless. Obama the buttfucking chimp says it all the time.
Ok Tyler, time to follow through. did they pay their samurais today or ?????
Yes they did!

This guy is a huge piece of shit. Hope the Greeks string him up in the town square.
do you actually believe even one word out of this vulgar extremist liar / deceiver, similiar to most vile politicians today!
Took it up the ass just like the Spartans and Athenians of yore.
Tsipras' conduct has been perfectly understandable since taking over the government.
After all, politicians want to be famous and not forgotten. He got his wish.
As the Troika said when they dropped the silver pieces on the floor by his feet:
"You'll be remembered forever for this."
- with apologies to Andrew Lloyd Webber.
he is more scared of assasination by the germans and new world order imf assasings than he is by the pussy ass greek leftists who believe in kumbaya and gun control.
the real civil war is going to happen in spain in about 5 years form now. not in greece.
why?
the west and nazi's know all the maps and military maneuvers accomplished by franco. they know the spanish won't trust the russians with moscow gold.
they also know that all said and done, the spanish military is ready to kill a couple hundred thousand spaniards. they did it before. they'll do it again. quicker this time, with more effective weaopnry and western propoganda backing them up.
after spanish civil war 2. we get world war 3 a few decades after that , around 2045. i should be 65 if i last that long. i'm looking forward to it.
currency is money and credit is gold and currency is value and gold is barbarous and fed prints gold and dollar is in backwardation. the fed is dumping gold in the comex to suppress the value of currency. people are being paid in gold if they lend their precious fiat to the market
from the FT - published in the last hour, looks like a re-iteration of the IMF position re debt (non)sustainability - good summary article though

IMF signals it could walk away from Greek bailout dealPeter Spiegel in Brussels
Was George Washington really the last man alive that had what it takes in a top political/leadership position? The planet is in sorry shape.
George Washington - (think of our Congress and President as you read this, and all the other egotists that think so highly of themselves)...
Moving to reinforce Mercer’s broken line Cadwalader’s brigade of Pennsylvania militia, Delaware and Philadelphia light infantry, and a small unit of marines – all told about 1,500 men - moved towards the British. Despite their numerical superiority, the inexperienced Americans began to fall back under the steady fire from the British regulars. As Cadwalader reformed his line, up rode Washington astride a magnificent white horse. Amidst the flying musket balls Washington coolly assured his soldiers, “Parade with us my brave fellows! There is but a handful of the enemy and we shall have them directly!” Washington then proceeded to lead the militiamen forward from the front. He at one point was only 30 yards from the British line – easy musket range. John Fitzgerald, one of Washington’s officers, reportedly pulled his hat over his eyes, expecting to see the General shot from the saddle at any moment. Despite his proximity, Washington remained uninjured and his galvanizing presence stabilized the American line at a critical moment in the battle. Soon Washington, along with fresh reinforcements, were chasing the remnants of Mawhood’s broken force through the fields and woods.
One reason the planet is in sorry shape is because people look to outside sources for security instead of looking in the mirror.
or
read up on the Whisky Rebellion and tell me GW was awesome.
Can someone enlighten me? Why did Tsipras perform a referendum when he commits to the same bullshit after the "No" of the Greek people?
He thought he had control of his sphincter. He didn't.
Civil engineers should stick to building bridges and highways and stay out of politics, negotiations, and country saving.
"TSIPRAS SAYS DEAL INCLUDES DEBT RESTRUCTURING AFTER 2022"
ROTFL. This will help Greece how exactly?
Michael James Collins
Well, that's it. Mutti said it twice, so it must be untrue.
It isn't going to pass the Greek parliment and TSIPRAS will be looking for a new job shortly. I hope you laid those chips down before the close.
it will - (I wouldn't trade on the notion that it won't)
He signed it in crayon.
Well that's better than the pencil that he had down his trousers.
I think they just ordered feta and olives.
^...and so 3rd bailout just went to waste(as foretold).
By the time it all implodes Greece will have lost all it assests....with the other side (ie banks) most likely getting a bailout / derivatives wiped. Lol. Its a FCKING scam.
Tsipras u dumb dumb shit....your ppl are doomed regardless....ONLY way forward was a default and Grexit.
Me no trust Tsipras, he speaks with forked tongue!
WTF with this deal and more debt.
They will never ever pay it back.....they dont have enough GDP to create revenue in order to generate enough taxes. That's the mathematical bottom line. Even if they did, the culture in Greece is to dodge your tax until the day you die....so the Gov't can only live off perpetual borrowing (ie debt). WTF on how to live.
Therefore you can undetstand the only way for the creditors to get their money back is via Greek assets.
The Greeks are 100% fcked. They are going to suffer worse austerity and never ending depression (financially and mentally)....and didn't the just vote to say they're done with austerity?
The more i think about it, this is a total open door to steal everything Greeks have because partying forever like its 2004 has its fcking consequences.
Personally i would have sold the referendum with brutal honest truth (ie debt can never be repaid, declare default, suffer the harsh consequenes OR cintinue as slaves the rest of our lives and lose everything we have) and if the dumb fcks greeks voted yez to stay then resign because you tried. But the referendum was a wasted opportunity.
Fckkkkkkkk.....dumb dumb shits.
If this guy had been told to execute all unemployed Greeks and pensioners to stay in the euro he would have signed up to it.
Hey Alexi, why don't you cut some feta to go with your whine
You sold out your people. No one cares about how difficult it was.
Put on a tie amd hang yourself
People should just stop paying taxes and stop working and see how this ass clown gets the money to pay his new masters. He betrayed his country, gave fiery speeches to turn around and give the whole fucking country away on a silver platter.
Lesson learned: Never ever trust a politician. Never ever trust a Banker. Never ever vote for anything. Prepare yourself. Never depend on governments to protect you. This is every man and every woman has to fight for their own rights. Nobody is coming to rescue you.
Become self sufficient and tell the system to GO AND FUCK THEMSELVES.
Lemme try!
Hey Dad, I just fucked your wife in the ass, and she was TERRIBLE!!!
Did I win?
The best proof of how severely fucked up the greek society has become is that they regard NOT living on fraud and theft, euphemistically referred to as "borrowing", "bonds", "loans", "credit", etc, as constituting "austerity".
This is what the mafia said about the RICO act when it was passed.
Greece is a failed society, culture, country. Recycle them.
