Jetsfan80 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Now they're just getting desperate. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32202768 Greece Nazi occupation: Athens asks Germany for €279bn The Greek government says Germany owes Greece nearly €279bn (£204bn; $303bn) in war reparations for the Nazi occupation during World War Two. It is the first time Greece has officially calculated what Germany allegedly owes it for Nazi atrocities and looting during the 1940s. However, the German government says the issue was resolved legally years ago. Greece's radical left Syriza government is making the claim while struggling to meet massive debt repayment deadlines. Reacting to the Greek claim, German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel said it was "dumb" to link Greece's bailout by the eurozone with the question of war reparations. "To be honest I think it's dumb. I think that it doesn't move us forward one millimetre on the question of stabilising Greece," he said. He said ordinary Greek citizens however deserved "huge respect" for their economic sacrifices under the bailout programme. The Greek elite had "plundered" the country, he complained.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Greeks and Albanians are my least favorite nationalities. I always thought the Romanians were up there on your list; I know your aversion towards carnies and the similarities between the two are striking.
