If this song was by a Greek band they would be called extremists, fascists and Nazis. Enjoy the following song from the Swedish band Sabaton!

We are celebrating YiaLoser's bankrupt wit!

Why don't you take care of those who are kicking Greece and Cyprus whilst they are both as vulnerable as they could be! One with half its territory under frigging Turks and the other about to lose its power to protect its borders!

Well Greece won't have to pull many troops out of Afghanistan. Greece is currently contributing only 15 troops to NATO’s mission in Afghanistan, as against 165 from Macedonia – a non-member with one fifth of Greece’s population; 175 from Georgia; 255 from Albania; 295 from Croatia; 540 from Bulgaria; 945 from Romania; and 1,755 from Turkey. It would appear that those Balkan countries that were on the wrong side in the Cold War are somewhat readier to contribute to the Western alliance’s military efforts today than Greece, the only Balkan Christian country which enjoyed NATO protection during the Cold War.

And Greece is one of the largest recipients of EU funding - they topped the list in 2008 ahead of even Poland.

Meant to put a link for those figures:

From the same article:

The reforms demanded of Greece by the EU as the price of a bail-out cannot be limited to the economic sphere, but must extend to the political as well. As an absolute minimum, Greece must recognise the rights of its national minorities, including the right to freedom of association, conscience and self-definition, and must immediately announce it will comply with all rulings of the European Court of Human Rights as regards these rights. And it must lift its veto of Macedonia’s membership of both NATO and the EU, announcing that its dispute with Macedonia will not be resolved through blackmail or at the price of South East Europe’s Euro-Atlantic integration.

The EU is moving to strip Greece of control over its own taxation and spending policies if it does not comply with austerity demands. Some German officials are reportedly demanding that Greece also be denied a vote in all EU matters while it remains in ‘receivership’. This would be eminently sensible. Greece’s economic and political irresponsibility are two sides of the saim coin, and there is no point in the EU demanding that the country behave responsibly in the economic sphere while giving it a blank cheque to pursue nationalistic policies that destabilise South East Europe. The nationalism that leads the Greek political classes to abuse their membership of the Euro-Atlantic club to try to force Macedonia to change its name is the same nationalism that leads them to milk the EU for all it is worth, then engage in crude xenophobic and anti-imperialist tantrums when the bottle is taken away. Greece can be selfishly nationalistic or it can be a responsible member of the European family. It is up to the EU to make clear that it expects the latter.

Will you stop posting after every single one of my responses in your inane effort to get my attention, you androgynous misfit!

We couldn't give a "fig" for your opinion as you are only in Cyprus for your own benefit and if I was President I would have you hanged, drawn and quartered!

I bet Turkey is glad the are not in the EU; they would have been in a worse situation than Greece. Still, sad news about Greece.
