Nothing more than (yet again) the laziest 'analysis' that fits the requirements of the narrative you wish to write, regardless of facts and actual evidence as far as I am concerned.

By creating with other nations a union that countries CHOOSE to want to join and can freely choose to leave and which by all accounts the vast majority of ordinary Greeks desperately want to stay a part of ? This then is Germany's 'means' to achieve the control of Europe is it, according to your 'narrative' ? How crafty and clever those Germans are and how naïve and stupid all the other nations in the EU must be , including Greece and Cyprus and the UK and all the others !

Indeed. Do you doubt for a moment that if during this crisis there had been a EU wide or EZ wide referendum a question along the lines of 'should EU member states money be used to bail out Greece on terms more favourable than any other EU member in such need had been given to date ?' there would have been any other democratic result than 'no' ? Any other member state could have held such a referendum or such could have been held EU wide. No other member state to date has done such. Instead what EZ member state after member state HAS done is spend considerable domestic political capital to support a bailout that Greece has itself ASKED FOR. Some risking their own political survival as a result. Not just Germany, but also states like Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Netherlands.

Of course it was a message. The message, that was clearly given over and over to the Syriza administration, was that the EU could not allow a bailout recipient member state to simply renege on and reverse prior commitments and terms already made and agreed and expect to continue to receive funds under that agreement and or hope to negotiate a new agreements under better terms, without risk the disintegration of the entire EU. This was the message given to Syriza over and over and over for months, not JUST by Germany but by essentially ALL the other EZ members.

Again with the laziness, with the narrative, despite all actual evidence, that this whole thing has simply been about and between German and its control of the EU vs everyone else, with Greeks as the 'brave fighters and resisters against German attempts at subjugation.

And again with the lazy narrative that what has happened in last few months was just a 'change of means' by Germany. The countries bombed to the ground by Nazi Germany did not REQUEST to be bombed, THREE times. Greece did CHOOSE, three times, to request bail out funds, not JUST from Germany but from all the EZ members (along with the IMF).
