Greece Declares War on Germany

Reuters reports that Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras accused Germany on Tuesday of using legal tricks to avoid paying reparations for the Nazi occupation of Greece, and said he would support parliamentary efforts to review the matter.

For good measure, Greek Justice Minister Nikos Paraskevopoulos agreed today (the day the Troika arrive) to allow the seizure German property in Greece.

This of course will not go down well in Germany.

One can only conclude that either the government of Greece is stupid, or that this is a deliberate attempt to ensure that Germany forces Greece out of the Eurozone (thus enabling the Greek government to blame Germany for its failure to acquire funding).
