He claims that the agreement presented to Greece was not intended to be accepted - then
why did they accept it? Why did he himself say he would vote in favor of the final agreement?
He seems to confuse an agreement not intended to be accepted with creditors squeezing

your creditors are not your friends, and the term "debt slavery" exists for a reason. Without
a realistic plan to leave the Euro Greece is at the mercy of their creditors, and as he indicates

The TPP at least provides a formal legal framework, that is still no reason to support it of course.
