Pfttt!!! Another bought and owned bankster puppet!
So, what is the definition of "EXTREME FEAR", anything below this fraction 37/100?
next greek election may well be decided with lead.
Greece, isn't that a place that was once a sovereign country that sold itself into slavery? Why are we still talking about them, except as a case study for what awaits the rest of us. No surprise from Tsipras, could have seen that whole farce coming from a mile away.
Strike THREE yerrrrr OUT!!!
does anyone care anymore about greece? they had their chance and blew it - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
time for Golden Dawn. There are only two kinds of socialism, National or International. You pick.....
Lied to his people just like Obama. Fuck all these liars.
Im sure he has the villa with the infinity pool somewhere in Uruguay or Chile. Nice and safe with a huge wine vault to run to while the country implodes from all the illegals and economic woes.
Mission Acomplimished ......
waiting to get kennedied was finally too much
A ZHer once posted that Tsipras was from or connected to one of the high-up families that rule the world. It makes sense that he was brought in as a nice-guy-savior, so that the third bailout could be approved. Now that his mission is complete, he can go back to chillin and drinkin brewskis on the beach.
Fully agree. He is not the same as the other politicians, he is worse.
Give the people hope, then crush it badly. That's worse than not having hope in the first place.
