Next the full of myself Germans, who have played on the weaknesses of everyone to start this insane EURO from the get go. What comes up will with no checks and balances (EURO and ECC) , always comes crushing down in the end.

Why hasn't the eu guarantee,d Greece's borders and give Fyrom a name that doesn't insult Greece so Greece can reduce military spending when there's no money for it to begin with? Instead they bribe people like Akis to overspend on German subs . They want ther cake and eat it too!

This can only be done if all of the ECC countries agree, and to the hell with Germany. They have been the "King of the EURO and ECC" for too long, and the disaster has been done to many ECC countries.
