It's this kind of bragging/heavy hammer wielded by the EU that is really concerning to me.

Greek Spring, in reference Prague Spring
Quote:

The Prague Spring was a period of political liberalization in Czechoslovakia during the era of its domination by the Soviet Union after World War II. It began on 5 January 1968, when reformist Alexander Dubček was elected First Secretary of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ), and continued until 21 August when the Soviet Union and other members of the Warsaw Pact invaded the country to halt the reforms.

So that's what the EU (be it individual states, or the EU as a whole) is suggesting they have done? The financial equivalent of a military invasion to quell a peoples' democratic will?
Still not sure how this plays out... the only thing we know for sure is it looks like the banks are taken care of and the Greek people are and will be completely ####ed for the foreseeable future.
