Crushing Greece with debt Greece chose to take.
If they didn't like EU loans they could have gone to the IMF or, guess what, they could have refused any loans.
But when you accept other people's money (that ultimately comes from taxpayers), refusing to pay it back is a real dick move. An next time you risk that the people who lent you the money will flip you the bird instead.
Capitalism or not.
Edit: downvoters believe in free money
…and if Germany had paid the war reparations they owed, perhaps the Greeks wouldn’t need a loan , because marching your tanks uninvited into another countries territory is “a real dick move “ as you put it .
You're going all the way back to WW2 for your argument? Lol
So the Greek government lying is Nazi's fault? 🤔 Maybe if time travel is involved.
