Had to stop watching Trump's humiliation of Greece on live tv.

The whole point of what's happening there today is to force Greece to have no social benefits and no pensions at all anymore-to continue the situation that has left the elderly of Athens slowly starving in the apartments they are being evicted from-punishing the people of Greece for a situation caused solely by the Greek wealthy and by Goldman Sachs.

Can't understand how Tsipiras could even stand showing up for that. The man is being forced to abandon all principles and to abandon his country to the sharks-AND to spend money he's not allowed to spend helping his own people on useless weapons of war.

There is no way Greece deserves what is happening to it in the Rose Garden right now. No country should ever be forced to lose its dignity like this.

All hope for anything positive in Greece's future is gone. It's basically going to be the Somalia of Europe from here on in.

The point of this was to put Tsipras and SYRIZA in their place, once and for all.

He's being forced to do this to keep a tiny handful of pensioners from starving.

Now, Greece is simply a colony of the banking system and the Pentagon.

The sickening thing is, this is creating the conditions for a Golden Dawn takeover...which may be what Trump and Co. want(remember, our country's leaders were never happier with Greece than when the military dictatorship was in power.
