the Eurozone at risk, that's my surprise, as I thought there'd be an effort to keep Greece in the fold. They think they are making an example of Greece, who no doubt will survive and probably be more like the example Iceland has become (in time & depending on the referendum), but the domino effect has yet to play out.

They are betting the EU that there will be no domino effect or that Greece will bend. That's a very mighty gamble.
The risk they take is what is shocking, stunning even, because I feel this may not go their way.

Obviously the risk of Grexit has been there years. Excuse my dimwittedness for thinking they are absolutely, freaking, crazy to let Greece leave. It looks to me like the Troika are risking everything, but I've been for a Grexit all along, to hell with austerity & Troika greed, to hell with predatory, shock doctrine.
