Argentina is happy for Greece's betrayal...

Christina the day before had congratulated the Argentine football team for them FAILING to win the Copa America trophy explaining that she preferred her country to instead embrace the same philosophy of other FAILURE states like Greece,Venezuela, Zimbabwe, North Korea...

After all, Argentinans are nothing but a nation that symbolizes failure.

(Chile beat Argentina on penalties 4-1, winning the Copa América.)

So having failed to keep the lazy Greeks in the Euro fold the EU are going to give them humanitarian aid.

What a pity the EU didn't realise that the Greeks were broke and not to be trusted like grown ups when they bent all the rules for them to join. Ah! They DID know didn't they but went ahead anyway.

A bit like allowing Argentina to run the World Bank, everybody knows what would happen.

The sooner the UK is out of this communist cabal the better.

They are going to need aid before this thing is over.

Probably going to see boatloads of Greeks heading for Libya and a better life before this thing is over.

On the other hand, Europe could do like Australia, but instead of processing camps for migrants in New Guinea or remote islands in the Pacific, they could go to camps in Greece while applications are processed.

Be dead cheap to lease a couple of Greek Islands in a year or so.

The EU has already today stated that the referendum and the question was illegal,

so what is the betting that Greece is told to have another referendum with EU approval,

another Ireland perhaps.
