Didn't Greece leave NATO and join the Warsaw Pact in T2K?

Now they want reparations for Nazi occupation in WW2.

Oops the wheels of the European Project are beginning to fall apart.

Not to mention the rise of another anti-austerity party in Spain, Podemos (loosely translated as "We Can") that seems to be thinking alongside the Greeks and has also supposedly stated their intention to have Spain leave NATO...

They think that by having closer ties to Russia they can have create good economic ties there. Because that worked so well for France when they did it when they left NATO.

I think the Greeks have missed one important point though. France was at least able to help itself a little by exporting foodstuffs and electricity. The ties with Russia may have come to nothing but the sales of food & electricity helped put France into a better economic situation. Greece doesn't have that option.

I know that, you know that, they don't understand that. And Russia will eat them alive.
