What does it matter when literally every airport, seaport and many more enterprises are owned by foreigners.

@DerAstrophysikerr2 жыл бұрын
German here, I want to offer a short version of my view of the crisis here. In short: Greece caused the debt problem by itself, but Germany actively made it worse. In the video, it is sort of indirectly mentioned: Debt to GDP ratio skyrocketed after the crisis began - much of that can be attributed to a shrinking GDP. Easy example: Say a country has a debt-to-GDP of 100%. Then the GDP drops by 25%. This means that the debt-to-GDP ratio is now at 133%. This partially explains the enormous increase in debt. What is the cause of the shrinking GDP? A huge part can be attributed to the economic policies that were implemented at the start of the crisis. Important to note: Germany was pretty much responsible for Greece's economic policies with the implementation of the Troika. To put it bluntly, in these matters, Greece was pretty much a vassal to Germany. And Germany was - and still is - obsessed with economic austerity and a balanced budget. Since Greece was spending a lot, huge cuts were implemented on behalf of Germany's government - many of these were to social services. However, this also meant that people had less money to spend, leading to a downward spiral. Germany is really stupid with regards to economic policies, so much so that I'd say our economy thrives (so far) in spite, not because of our politics. So, Germany actively made the situation in Greece worse. But that's not all. In German newspapers, reports of "us having to save the irresponsible south Europeans and lazy Greeks" was pretty common. It was disgusting on so many levels. I personally am in favor of a debt cut for Greece - also sort of as a payback for a) the Troika and b) WW2 forced loans.

cant see that happening soon bro , economic interests and nationalism will never let Greece and Turkey cooperate + never in the past greece and turkey helped each other and will never do. In addition to that Greeks are mad angry to turkey for not accepting international treaties and threaten Greece with war if they try to enforce their rights and ofc Greece will never forgive Turkey for genociding Greeks in Smyrna after they denied the Treaty of Sèvres and destroying the greek army for trying to enforce the Treaty that was actually signed by the Sultan but not by Kemal Atatürk who actually illegally stood up against it. Ah and the Turkish invasion on cyprus on 1974 was the final straw. Also Orthodox Greek Church which is fully recognized by the Greek Government got shit mad on what Turks did to Agia Sofia. Nah Greeks will never accept any cooperation with Turkey and neither Turks will.

Controlled via debt. It is called Debtocracy. We need to first start at the fact that back in 1821 foreign powers did not like the idea of an independent Greek state fearing what evolutions could follow through that. It is hard for you to imagine in today's world but back then the industrial revolution was only in its first phase, the world power was Britain ruling the seas and profiting precisely from the demise in the Mediterranean traderoute and through the exploitation of the Atlantic trade (not so much with Americas but with East/South Asia via the circumnavigation of Africa). Imagine a rising state that could in the 20th century be 50 to 60 million souls stretching to both Europe and Asia controlling the Mediterranean trade. As such, while initially jumping to back the Ottomans, the powers and in particular British and French (who having lost the Napoleontian wars worked along with Britain in this), seeing the Greeks are doing well in the first couple of years, they mingled in sending their agents, people such as Mavrokordatos (British agent) and Kolettis (French agent) to supposedly organise the political fraction of the revolution. And what did these do? They started a campaign of arrests and murders of revolutionaries causing a Civil War in the very next year. Among their first steps was the signing of a big loan .... "in the name of the Greek people". I.e. private people such as Mavrokordatos sent a team of private people who had nothing to do with the Greek people and the Greek revolution to sign in the name of the Greek people a big loan which, in case the Greeks managed to become independent, would go into effect. This created the first state in human historymmwith an automatic foreign debt "officiallised by contract" and loaded upon it. As absurd as it sounds, that was the reality. From there on, Greece was run by that foreign imposed mafia organisation, and very much still is the case until today - a mere look in the key political families suffices to realise what has been going on. With one debt after the other, Greece alternated period of heavy and light debt. The initial "Greek state creation debt" was paid a century later which only shows how trapped were Greeks politically and financially all that time. And the same went on in the 20th century. After 1950 (because WWII ended in Greece in 1949 due to the Cold War imposed Civil War), Greece experienced a rare period of economic growth precisely because the country was so much destroyed by the German occupation previously. Indicatively, Greece's economy had a higher development rate than the "German miracle" and was along with Japan the fastest developing economy - of course it was nothing impressive because these are the numbers, Greece's economy was nothing exceptional, nor highly productive, though efforts were made towards that direction (in the 50s and 60s and until 1970s Greece was producing indeed quite a large array of commodities and industrial products for the scale of its economy). ... and then there came the Turkish invasion in Cyprus, which was a back-stabbing by NATO forcing Greece to half-step out of NATO. USA fearing Greece going completely neutral, or worse, passing into the Iron Curtain, pressured Greece to enter into the EEC, the precursor the EU, so as to prove its allegiance to the West. Greece did so but the very moment it did it had to comply with the EEC masterplan. The masterplan of EEC, then EU, was to obliterate all key production activities in Greece, including first and foremost ships and ports (... the ships.... note this and go up to the beginning of this long comment!) and transform the country in a service economy. Yet the only main service Greece could render was... tourism. Tourism is a respectable economic activity and though it can sustain an island of 200,000 population, it will most certainly not sustain a country of 10 million souls. Thus the EEC/EU kept pumping up the Greek economy with more and more loans and financial packages artificially inflating the economy which seemingly was "going well" and of course did so as a means of tightening control over Greece. This is mainly a geostratefic issue afterall. Things got infinitely worse by the aforementioned foreign imposed oligarchies which constantly mismanaged funds, maintained and cultivated the endemic corruption and used loans literally to sustain armies of voters, namely of the two key parties (the Socialists, champions of corruption, and the Center-Right champions of tolerance to corruption too). The worst part was that this cultivated both an individualistic and quasi-fatalistic point of view among the average Greek citizen who though "Things are always going to be like that, so why should I bother? Lets dive in corruption and get what I get out of it". A point of view which current and future generations of Greeks are going to pay dearly. What is unfair though to say is that Greeks "partied with all that money", which is not at all the case considering that the majority of Greeks proved to be better spenders than the average western Europeans spending more on property investments and their children's education (Greeks are by far the most educated ethnic group in the EU - and by a large distance - those of you who work in multinational environments are well aware of that). All in all, past behaviour of both powers and the Greek state dictate to a large extent future behaviour, things won't change. Sounds pessimistic but that is what it is. Things will change once there is an upheaval in the international geopolitical scene during which Greece may find a better spot.

Right now, if you add up the electoral share of all parties that want Grexit, you would have about 10%. While it is true that in 2015 maybe a majority of Greeks would be open to leaving the Eurozone, nowadays it is a non-issue, with no major party supporting the idea, and it is never discussed as a solution among normal Greek people. TLDR: Grexit in 2022 Greece and Europe is as unlikely as covid magically disappearing tomorrow

well actually, due to a fair share of recent purchases (rafales, block-70s, submarines, frigates and a pending deal for F-35) a one on one conflict would leave Greece on top, especially considering that Greek pilots are ranked #1 in NATO and the Turkish ones are not experienced

@@firecreeper2249 (this is a message from my reply to a discord friend which explains the weird format) actually, not true. Turkey's airforce is entirely made up of F16 block 30s, some have been upgraded to the block 40,50 and just a few to the 70, but that is at a standstill, with the majority of its aircraft currently having a lifespan of ten years remaining. They couldn't strike up a deal for the F35, Dassault Aviation would never sell the Rafales to turkey, as Dassault is a Grecofrench family and the Russian su-30 would require a minimum of 12 years to become operational for turkey. Turkey has disbanded its pilot training program, as it was too costly for them to run, and they are currently using pakistani pilots as they have jailed their own (these pakistani pilots are pretty bad, constantly losing in Dogfights with the Hellenic Air Force). Now, Greece has had the number 1 ranked pilots in NATO for i think a few years now, and the skill difference between them and the Pakistani ones becomes obvious, having watched Dogfights between the two. A deal for upgrading the entirity of the Greek F16s to the block 70 variant is currently undergoing, a large amount of them have already finished the upgrade, the rest that haven't yet been upgraded are the block 50 variant. A deal with Dassault for 30 Rafales, arguably the best aircraft currently on the market, has already delivered the first few. Meteor missiles are included in the deal with a capability of locking a target from 150km away and a range of fire of 420km away. That is more than any other air to air/ground/water missile can do. A deal for around 20 F35 is also currently underway. In a conflict that air superiority is the winning factor, Greece has the obvious advantage. In order for Turkey to invade through land invasion, they'd have to first invade Bulgaria (another EU and NATO member)

@@firecreeper2249 and invade Greece from southern Bulgarian borders, as the Greece-Turkey borders are impenetrable, due to a wall constructed by Greece to prevent turkey from using refugees as geopolitical leverage as they have done before, and completely blocks the prospect of a land invasion through there, especially in combination with the sound cannons -i think they're called that- and the 700 tanks and the thousands of national guards stationed there. However turkey does have the tank superiority, 1700 to turkey's 2500, albeit the Greek being composed mostly of Leopard 2s, with Turkey having older less advanced models. Greece also has recently purchased 1200 M1117 guardians, which in a conflict where air superiority is on Greece's side, they wouldn't be susceptible to their biggest weak point, air attacks. I need not remind you of how stupid the purchase of the S-400 russian missile defence system by Turkey was. Turkey has a larger ground force, but that again wouldn't matter in this conflict, and either way would be equal in terms of numbers if you count in Greece's reserve soldiers (soldiers not on active duty, but are trained and capable of fighting). Onto the naval superiority, Turkey has or rather had a few more ships than Greece does, but with the purchase of quite a few (don't remember the amount or the models) new frigates by Greece the numbers have been equaled. Greek naval personnel is considerably more experienced and trained, with turkey having jailed quite a large number of theirs and Greece having a few thousand years in navy tradition (no records of a hellenic navy ever losing a battle, which is the reason the Greek navy is called the Invisible Hellenic Navy) and Greece has a larger number of submarines (that turkey also made a joke of themselves trying o unsuccessfully spot them, and spread a picture on their media with one of their own submarines captioned, we have spotted Greece's submarines, or something similar)

IMO the modern model of rapid development which relies heavily upon taking on large debts isn't viable for a still mostly agrarian country like Greece to service debt payments. This is unlikely to change, considering Greece's geography.
@galanopouloc2 жыл бұрын
It's not about the debt per se. Debt in it's nature can be justified for as long as it produces development and increases the national GDP. For example, if (insert country of choice) takes out a trillion dollars of debt, but increases said GDP to 3 to 4 trillion in 10 years, then said loan becomes justified due to a higher economic return. However, this is not the case for Greece. In the case of Greece, instead of opening up the economy and promoting local industrial development (what Deng did in China and Ozal did in Turkey in the same decade mind you). It doubled down on state institutions under the PASOK era (a party which was very similar to the PRI of Mexico) and increased their profitablity by incurring debts to Germany and other banks. This meant that the average Greek of that era could always be guaranteed a good paying job with benefits, at the expense of the private industry. It got so bad that the Greek government actively took measures to make the country unwanted for investments. Hence why the Nissan factory shut down in Volos why the shipbuilding industry went to South Korea and why the household appliance factories went to Turkey. For the average Greek, it made no sense to open up their own enterprise, why deal with a overwhelming bureaucracy when you can get a cushy job for voting PASOK/New Democracy. Eventually however, the reality of economics hit Greece back in 2008, and the rot was exposed. However the Greek government, instead of opening the economy and promoting local industry/attracting investment, just kept on taking whatever handout the EU gave it to keep the decrepit system going. And this is the modern situation of Greece: an overbearing public sector full of party and family goons who get paid to do nothing and small business who get rung by the previous cadre to keep the system going.

You make some good points, thanks for making us thinkk deep about these issues. Greece relies on allies for support but the debt crisis taught me that EU will sell Greece to the highest bidder when the shit hits the fan. Greece is an εθνος ανάδελφον, we dont really have sworn allies except Cyrpus ofcourse. No army will come to our rescue if the world goes sour e.g. in a 5 year recession. The future is rough but also exciting. I hope my country can develop a sense of urgency against the common existential risk (Turkish imperialism) and manage to industrialise, strengthen our military and continue our traditionally good diplomatic performance.
