Heard it all before. Hear it every few months. Heard it year in year out now. Have I told you how many times I've heard this already?

Well, Greece is in it to win it!

Greeks are in it to win it? Win what? You should have heard Nick Ferrari on LBC this morning. I don't know how you see it in Cyprus but here in the UK? Go on LBC and see what was discussed this morning.

I feel sorry for Greeks in a way. They have been bullshitting their way for the last 50 years at least if not longer. They have been living in DREAMLAND and now have to get used to living in HELL. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Until quite recently many looked at it only as a theoretical possibility but the tenor of the comments have changed and I understand there is now seemingly some talk within the ECB suggesting it is likely. The silence of EU leaders is quite understandable since for someone significant to come out and suggest a Greek Exit would probbaly guarantee it happened in the most catastrophic way. Therefore I doubt many if any major European political leader or official will come out and openly discuss the probability until any exit strategy is in place and it can be managed in the orderly fashion, both inside Greece and outside.

No I cant see it. France and Germany want the money that is owed to them. If Turkey attacked The response of the nations that Greece owes money to would be in a brutal manner. I do believe if Greece tried to default purposely the powers to be in the EU would either overthrow that government via Coup, start a civil war then occupy it or just flat out occupy it. Hell if they did one of these 3 options and Turkey complained those powers to be may sink a couple of Turkish merchant ships like the Nazis did to show them who is in charge.

Yes, the tenor has changed as the voices get more desperate and hoarse from the years and years they have been repeating this same nonsense.

The Euro is at its dawn. Struggles ahead for all. The Dollar wants it dead. Yes, it's a war and Greece is the pawn. Small but essential. En passant coming up?

Here's what the significant people have to say at the moment:

"Speaking after six hours of talks in Brussels among the 17 finance ministers from the eurozone countries, group chairman Jean-Claude Juncker said: "I don't envisage, not even for one second, Greece leaving the euro area.
"This is nonsense; this is propaganda. The exit of Greece out of the euro was not the subject of our debate today. Absolutely no-one, absolutely no-one, argued in that sense."

Don't be daft. History shows otherwise. All Greek-Turko wars were started by Greece.

Can you NOT lie for once? :roll: The only time that Greeks went anywhere near the Turkish homeland was with Alexander the Great... and I don't think he went far enough to encounter any Turks! The Turks are those who attacked Greeks. The Greeks just fought to liberate their own land from the Turkish army and Turkish Settlers.

I will try not to. Since independent Greece was established in 1827, the Greeks and Turks fought each other in three major wars:
1. 1897
2. 1912
3. 1919
Perhaps you can tell us who started these wars, for the sake of historical truth.
