And there's the rub... the best way to get the debt repaid is to help the Greek economy recover, but prioritizing debt repayment over economic recovery drives the economy even farther downhill. And turning Greece into an economic pariah state with tariffs and other punitive measures is definitely a step in that direction. How are they supposed to recover if they can't engage in free trade? They could pull a Cuba and create a completely introverted economy - poor, but independent. But if they're doing that, why the hell should they kowtow to the EU or anyone else?
