This is a high priority of the Greek Government.

They are going to file for Billions worth in compensation.

Now that is what I'm talking about!

Following the Greco-Turkish War (1897), defeated Greece was forced to pay a large war indemnity to Turkey £4 million

this is what you get when you invade another country.

We got our revenge in the first and second Balkan War when the Greeks and Slavs raped you!

Turkey also owes Cyprus a good fortune in WAR Reparations.

Methinks this is what Politicians should be.

Oh and btw, Varoufakis is an Australian Citizen and a Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney for more than 10 years and an Oxford graduate in economics and he is rocking the world!

Thank you cobber for restoring Greece's integrity!

It took an Australian Greek to tell the EU to Fuck Off!

Meanwhile, Cypriot Politicians are still pulling their dicks. Even had lawyers from the Presidents Law Firm forge legal documents and masquerade under pseudo-names to represent Ryannair on the CA takeover. Only in the Cyprus republic of Banania. Problem is these arseholes have immunity to do what they want when they want. What arseholes!

And DT reckons these guys will only last 3 months. These guys are shaping up as Statesmen DT!

Impressively bold moves by the new Greek government. Their first objective was to make everyone believe that they are not bluffing... I think they achieved this. Now the question is what is Germany going to do? Germany will do what is best for their interests. We will soon find out what that is.

Has anyone got a figure to hand of the loss to CY Banks and to CYs on the write-down of Greek Debt a couple of years ago...???

... and perhaps a second figure as to how much more CY Banks and CYs stand to lose if there are further adjustments to Greek Debt...???

Baroufakis' bachelor degree is from Essex, where he went, according to press reports, with a recommendation letter from Andreas Papandreou. His specialty is game theory, and when you look it up you will see that it was originated by a schzo professor, and that it is now a discredited theory, bypassed by later research by (presumably non schizoid) academics.

The Greek government is not bluffing because it has no plan. All meetings of Barouf and Tsip ended in either a polite or firm "No" to proposals for debt restructuring and a bridging agreement. They are not the only ones fouling up. The minister responsible for cancelling privatisations first asked for the resignation of the privatisation agency chiefs then recanted. The development dude said there would be pension rises starting at Christmas 2016. They will reverse the law that allows students to stay in university forever, despite academic failures, so blocking new students from entering. The list goes on.

Defiance sounds good, especially if you are privately rich. It is interesting is that most senior members of the government in their official compulsory financial statements show big savings and investment portfolios, some with corporations that they lambast in their public speeches, like Blackrock and Goldman Sachs. We get these financial statements thanks to EU regulations mandating transparency. While Baroufakis was damning ostentatious consumption magazines are carrying photo spreads of his luxury weekend home on the island of Aegina.

The irony is that if there were no elections the Troika would have come to an end of its service by Feb. 28, the economy was posting the fastest GDP rise in the EU, unemployment was falling from 2.6 to 2.3 million. Now we have record one day drops in the stock exchange and another round of typical Greek brinkmanship.Eventually we will be told that in two years time we might be back to where we were just before the elections thanks to the defiance of the statists.

When the circus packs up and the show is over, it's gonna be back to reality for Greece.

Georgiadis is practical, logical and a realist.
Varoufakis is a clown who wants money for nothing and his chicks for free.

They got themselves into this mess after years and years of corruption and mismanagement.
It's not gonna take a couple of weeks to rectify the situation by blackmailing Europe.

My apologies for the blunder.

He is however a fellow of Cambridge University and was a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics with the Sydney University which is right up there in the global rankings.

He is actually highly respected.

More importantly, he is doing something I have never seen anyone do before. He is pushing back and doing a mighty fine job of it too. That is what the people want. He has to give it a shot anyway and he has a bit of power too because if Greece choose to default then the contagion will spread across Europe and even reach North America, Asia and Australia. This possibility might have the Troika bullies in a bit of a spin and you can tell they are nervous as all hell.

After being a Senior Lecturer at Sydney Uni, I would expect him to have 2 luxury homes. Lecturers in Australia Stan a packet, probably more than the Prime Minister of Greece or President of Cyprus.

Something tells me that this is no circus.

It better not be because they are a breath of fresh air.

But even if they lose, I will be happy if they continue to fight for Greece in the same way. Just keep fighting and believing.

A circus is what we got in Cyprus. Your President should be in jail for starters. At the very least he should step down because what he has been implicated in from the CA saga is an absolute disgrace.
