Had this in another topic, but maybe it's economics? Maybe it's Greece fatigue?

Greece again.

Greece's defence minister threatens to send migrants including jihadists to Western Europe. (the link didn't copy, it was the UKtelegraph)

Dale Carnegie would be appalled.

It looks like an end to the drama is coming. Aside from threatening its partners, Tsipras has passed a law extending electricity subsides and food stamps without the Germany's permission. And he's promising more.

Greek banks are almost out of money. Greece owes a $2 billion loan payment at the end of the month. Tax collections have collapsed, people are moving money out of the country. IMF officials are calling Greece the most unhelpful country they've ever dealt with.

I can't see a good outcome. Greece is headed one way,alone. The rest of Europe, all of it, is opposed. The clash of wills is taking on personal dimensions.

They've said the risk of a Grexit or Grexident is 25%. I'd say it's 95%.

Sometime one wanders about the Greek leadership . But maybe even more about voters who pick them.

Greece today is the smartest country in the EU by far. Greece has possession of the ball.
