Another controversial article from the Author, how about the role of Germany, France and the beloved EU Institutions in this whole saga? The Germans have refused for years to contribute and to pay their fair share in NATO (and thereby dodging the system, something they are very good at), saving them few billions and in the process they made billions from the Greeks by selling them defunct sub-marines and other armaments; France ...La France... what can one say, a seat on the UN Security Council, many roles on the world stage and yet still unable to at the very least work alongside the US for a better understanding of world affairs to include trade; the EU Institutions another joke. The G7, the G20, Davos with their newly self declared "Madamme Presidente LaGarde", if they had any use or real purpose, they would have been able to predict and prevent many crises not least the 2008 financial crisis.
