Greece is a country with large government problems. And the government is not what pays the price for this structured deal. The people do. It is very convenient to assert that Greece is a free country where the people are in charge. If you want to blame someone for their misfortune, interpret past events so that it looks like they inflicted it on themselves. > Nobody is threatening Greece with military action should they not pay their debts. It should be quite obvious in 2015 that military action is not the only way nations can destroy other nations. For example, forcing them via a corrupt and disconnected government to pay into an unsustainable financial settlement until they are bled dry and peeled down to the bone is one way you can destroy a country. Why do we equivocate governments, states, and countries? The country of Greece suffers for the sins of its state, executed by its corrupt and inept government.
