Problem is Greece did not approach them.. the banks approached Greece with a product designed to hide the debt. They were advised by the bank that it was legal and no problem. That was very bad advice and considering the information we have been getting on these very banks playing both sides of the track.. then the question arises if the banks set up Greece (and others) to fail so the banks could earn trillions.
There is this thing of aiding a criminal or illegal act.. which is what the banks did.
LOL... are the Greeks a bunch of incompetent nincompoops that couldn't understand what they were getting into? Well, we've established that... so Yes.
They didn't have the brains to see what could be? Seems so.
Didn't have the will power to say no? Another... in the yes column.
Couldn't have consulted with some of their EU members or other financial advisers? Perhaps they did and got the green light.
You see, here we have the ever arrogant Europeans telling us how we should run our show, when they are up to their asses in debt and don't shell out barely a nickel for national defense. Then when they are offered dubious instruments and accept them... they turn around and blame those making the offer.
Did they eliminate the word "no" from the Greek vocabulary?
Then we have one of my favorite posters, a definer of the EU... Petey... defending Greece's ridiculous behavior, pointing fingers at the US.
Man up Eurowimps. Accept your own mistakes and take responsibility for your won f-ups and back yard for once.
