Oh woww. So Germany is the benevolent one, that just stepped up to the rescue just in time to save the damsel in distress, you Germans sure know how to play the benevolent card. You're not fooling anyone with this rhetoric, nobody forces another country's hand on any issue without getting something in return. The benevolent card is what Hitler also played to take Austria, Poland and Czekhoslavia. Always the victims, never the aggressors eh? And your silence on Germany's disgusting conduct on this matter is deafening, I didn't expect anything better from them than to shield killers anyway.It was most gracious by Germany to grant credits. Germany was by no means required to do so. It was mere mercy. Greece had no claim whatsoever on German money, yet Germany gave Greece that money although it was less than certain Germany would ever see a penny of it ever again.

They all come from the same country who is known worldwide for having no knowledge about any country in the wide world.
Why is this? I'm guessing this is why:
That's just dumb. Texas is the size of most Euro countries, and how many Euros know the state capital? None. So spare us the geographical ignorance.
Austin.
That's because florida is the one with the stupid capital name.My point stands.
99.9% of Euros cannot name the capital of Florida, and Florida is the size and pop of Sweden. They are as ignorant about geography, just different areas of knowledge.
That's because florida is the one with the stupid capital name.
I think it was tallehasse. Might be writing it down wrongly.
EDIT: Your point really doesn't stand.
Your geography is good, but my point stands. I lived in Europe for two years, grad school. When they would be all "Americans don't know geography!", I'd ask them for the capitals of US states as large as Euro countries. They never knew any.
Because state capitals of US states are hardly relevant for Europeans or anyone else outside the US. I dont know the regional capitals of most European regions.. should I? Of course not, but I do know the capital cities and major cities of most European countries.
Now on the flip-side I have heard many Americans comment that Denmark is the capital of Sweden and London is a country..
Florida is geographically about as large as Sweden and has about the same population. It generates about the same GDP.
And no one in Sweden knows the capital of Florida.
Let's not pretend Sweden is more relevant than Florida internationally, it's not.
Funny, the far-right in Germany keeps telling that the EU is a plot by the Allies to keep Germany down. It's "Versailles without a war" (literal statement).
And the far-left hates the EU, because it is allegedly Anglo-Saxon capitalism taking over Germany.
Now non-Germans hate the EU because allegedly, it's the 4th Reich?
OMG, poor EU. Everybody hates them.
What else was it than mere benevolence?
Florida is not a country, but a region in a country. Sweden is a nation.
Sweden is far far far far more relevant than Florida. For one Florida is not allowed to do its own foreign policy... that alone puts Sweden far ahead of Florida.
So what?
When was the last time Sweden launched a Space Shuttle? Wanna check intercontinental tourism? Sweden will lose by factors of power. No one gives a crap about Sweden's foreign policy, not even Euros. It's not internationally relevant.
Who says they aren't all right? It is a matter of historical record that original intentions were to use the EU as a means of subduing Germany and having it subsumed into an American-led "alliance" with the British holding a privileged position in the make-up of this new European order. That could easily fit both of the first two allegations. It is also definitely the case that many pro-Nazi and ex-Nazi individuals held prominent positions in Germany after the war and also built up alliances with various groups outside Germany. Said people, including the head of German intelligence, obviously played an important role in shaping the new Germany and that would include European integration. Those elements, who may or may not have lingering sympathies for the old Nazi Germany, would certainly see an opportunity in a project like the desired European Union a chance to regain Germany's power and dominant status without firing a shot.
Well, you have to recognize that it was more about insuring their own economic survival as well. I mean, they wouldn't have had a direct problem from Greece and the notion of a "sovereign debt default wave" was probably an exaggeration (sovereign debt markets don't really work that way), but the resulting implosion of the Balkan economy brought on by a Greek economic collapse would rapidly come home to Germany.
Florida is not a country, but a region in a country. Sweden is a nation.
That's funny.. at what point did I blame NWO? Just pointing out an intel report from the US during 1944.
Add to that the fact that there was even no EU before 1993.
Merely pointing out what an epic fool you are.
Fair enough. But at that time, it was seriously discussed in Germany, and supported by several politicians in Germany, that an "orderly default" of Greece and taking it out of the euro zone was the better solution.
You are clearly showing you are the fool, you don't even realize the EU was being formed long before 1992. It's okay, I provided you a history above.
