>>10871231>Greek finance minister said something that wrongWow! But the greeks has such a high reputation when it came to finance. This must be the EU's fault!
>but from Greece's perspective it would've been a nightmare.Yeah, imagine if being a EU member meant you were partially responsible for catastrophic messes you had entirely gotten yourself into. That's just terrible!
> entrusting the economy to themGreece entirely created all it's own problems. There's also nothing wrong about the EU wanting to provide a mechanism for Greece to leave the eurozone. It's like providing sovereignty to countries is bad now? Oh, I guess you don't like how they did this in secret. Yeah, there's no good reason for wanting a plan to enable greece to leave the eurozone to not be public knowledge, it's not like that kind of news would have spooked the extremely sketchy markets at the time.
Oh wait. I guess it probably would have.
Anyways, I'm sure my post will vanish from your memory in mere minutes. Only remember euro-skeptic stuff. Don't allow the faith to break. Just believe in britain!
>also displays an additional downside in that the other states would've suffered for that pardon.The whole point was that those other states would have been worse off had Greece defaulted. Which may or may not have been true, but it is certainly considered a reasonable position for the ECB to take at the time. What the hell else should they have done?
