Why tooth and nail? Was the abolition of the electoral college a central piece of his campaign? (Like the closing of Guantanamo prison was for Obama?). He just has to kinda-try, the GOP will flatly...

First of all, I take it you meant the popular vote?
Secondly, your argument doesn't hold water. Just because he criticized a law means he should break it? Conversely, had he won the popular vote...

Shooting a pilot as he parachutes down and then chanting "Allahu Ackbar" over his corpse is a pretty conclusive indication for me, but I guess your standards are different.

Just because Turkey doesn't accept ratified agreements (Laussane Treaty 1923) and international law (UNCLOS) that doesn't render its border with Greece as a special "disputed zone" (i.e. a...

Who says it was a humanitarian convoy? I have this from Reuters:




Some Turkish newspaper is claiming it was humanitarian aid:...

The claimed incursion itself was but 17 seconds long (again, if it even took place). No amount of russophobia can excuse such an excessive use of force. Turkey took a cheap shot, and then ran for...

Not that I really care, but do you have any reference to the relevant document where Syria recognizes the current boundaries with Turkey?



"heading your own airspace" ? So Turkey is routinely...

Greek - Turkish borders have been set by the treaty of Lausanne (1923). Any further details required can be determined by applying the UN Law of the Sea UNCLOS. Turkey's behavior doesn't annul...

Oh, technically I don't know, but in any case it isn't necessary. Syria will soon be rid of Jihadi rebels ("moderates" and otherwise), and Russia will have solidified its position in the middle east....

Actually it's pretty simple:
A country's airspace is the portion of the atmosphere above its territory, including its territorial waters.
Territorial waters are determined by The United Nations...

O' really? Turkey's Prime Minister disagrees.

As for NATO's statement you quoted, I've already expressed...

Turkey has been claiming border violations ever since Russia intervened. The real question is how trustworthy Turkey is. One indication would be its supposed campaign against ISIS which was just a...

Because if ISIS-benefactor Turkey says so, it must be true, right?

Russia will react coolly to this I bet. The only question is how the rest of NATO responds. A bland statement asking both sides...

Η συνήθης ρητορική επιπέδου Άδωνη Γεωργιάδη:

Μπήκε το σούργελο ο Λεβέντης, ενώ εκτός μένει η Κωνσταντοπούλου.
Άρα, είτε το 62% που ψήφισαν στο δημοψήφισμα τους απήγαγαν εξωγήινοι, ή η Singular Logic έκανε νοθεία.

Τώρα εάν αρχίσω τα φωτιά και τσεκούρι στους προσκυνημένους θα είναι επειδή είμαι κρυφο-φασίστας, χρυσαυγιτο-πίθηκος;

Καλησπέρα στους απανταχού θαμώνες.

Λίγα λόγια:
Ο ΣΥΡΙΖΑ έχει κάνει λάθη. Υπόσχεται πράγματα που δεν μπορεί κανένας να εγγυηθεί. Το ερώτημα στο Δημοψήφισμα θα ήθελα να ήταν άλλο.

Yes, and the current government would have been elected anyway. And there might have been troubles in the east of Ukraine no matter what. But you don't mess with the constitution; it's the highest...

If you have a source you consider more reliable, then please share it with the rest of us.
In any case, the Ukrainian constitution itself is the only document one needs to determine whether it was a...

Coup: a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government.

The change of the Ukrainian government did not meet the criteria specified by the Ukrainian constitution, and thus can be...

Snide remarks can't hide the sensationalist nature of the thread title.
But when people have an axe to grind, "massaging" the truth is SOP.

Maybe you should actually look up the definition of primary surplus, before offering your opinion...

Countries' primary surplus (deficit) refers to the component of the fiscal surplus (deficit)...

I think the thread title should be changed in order to more accurately reflect what was said.

Germany and France needed to save their banks,
which had invested in Greek bonds,
they used Europe's taxpayers money to do it,
and now demand that Greece pay for that with a pound of flesh,...

Yeah, you are just making things up now, and adding the weasel words "probably", "perhaps" doesn't improve it by much.





So, supposedly SYRIZA members took part in a anti-austerity march,...

First, you must realize that a good part of the media in Europe, and Germany in particular, have had a clear goal from day 1: Lambast the Greek people, foment the hate between them and the rest of...

OMG, the european media does not like us!
That's not good, because we need loans in order to service older debt which we can't possible pay back!
Quick, lets make a sacrifice of 500 pensioners to...

I think its over, Greece is defaulting. ECB, EU and IMF are doing their best to lay the blame on those "crazy Greeks", to avoid contagion and bad pr. Domestic political parties ND, PASOK and POTAMI...

It's part of their negotiation tactic, I assume. In any case, all you need in order to default is an inability to service your debt, so that can be done whenever.





Germany? No, the...

That is alot of text for a very simple argument...



And another article on the same tax:...

Again, you are claiming that the total sum of money in all bank deposits is equally distributed among the Greek populace.
Which is of course absurd. That fact that most Greek citizens cannot...

"inspires confidence"? What is this, a contest for "Most Glorious World Leader Nation"?
Do you feel that Germany inspires confidence? That Germany is a leader of the EU?

The seemingly Aryan undertones of your argument aside, there is also the fact that the accusation was in regards to a bribery scandal conducted by SIEMENS, a German conglomerate, which has been tried...

No, you are confusing "most people" with "most money". Most of the funds belong to a few well-off businessmen, and whether they put them in Greek or foreign banks, the fact remains most Greek...

First of all, Greece has been in recession since 2010, so any mention of "going back" into recession is invalid.
Also, being in recession does not automatically mean you have a primary deficit, so...

Greece has a primary surplus, so the entire text of your post is just empty fear-mongering.

Months of actual default (greece's debt is still not viable) and crippling austerity, in order to stave off an exit from the Eurozone. What a treat! I'm pretty sure most Greeks have woken up to the...
