I knew the Greek bureaucracy was slow and a bit lazy, but this is an all-time record for laziness. 70 years!

Talk about a weak dodge to get out of paying their bills. I feel sorry for the Germans that lent these idiots all of this money, what were they really thinking. When the Greeks elected that far-left bonehead that was the end of them ever paying their bills. Good luck Greece! Welcome to being Venezuela part deux.

should USA pay Vietnam for bombing the hell out of them and dropping
billions of lbs. of cancer causing agent orange on them?

Yeah. USA should pay $1,000,000 per person they killed.

4,000,000 (dead) X $1,000,000 = $4 trillion.

What did Germany do?

60 million?

Except that they didn't kill 4 million people. This is just plain wrong. Why do you always do this?

I noticed that you didn't mention the fact that Germany has already paid Greece reparations, back in the 1960's. Why did you not mention it?

60 million Greeks? Really?

It would definitely reduce the number of unnecessary World Wars if warmonger
countries were forced to pay for it. It's like reducing speeding by making
people pay.

I don't this they should. It would be a very costly precedent.

[driveangry]

If they don't pay, then what ? Go to war ??

[Static]

^^^ exactly. It would be too hard to enforce IMO.

But Germany did pay for it. They paid war reparations after World War I that were so onerous they caused World War 2. Actually READ the article, Germany paid Greece already for damages from World War 2, back in the 1960's. This whole new demand is just the scumbag leftists in Greece trying to weasel a way out of their debts, using guilt, fraud and stupidity, the tools of all leftists.

Also - if Greece is demanding reparations from Germany then they should also be demanding them from Italy. Italy was the one who attacked Greece in WW2, then got bogged down, and then Mussolini had to call his buddy Hitler to come bail him out. Oh wait though, Greece doesn't owe Italy any money, so that's ok, just forget it.

Also if you do some math

Greece - $300,000,000,000 / 150,000 (dead) = $2,000,000 per person

so to be fair

Russia $2,000,000 (per person) X 20,000,000 (dead) = $40 trillion.

How many years would it take to pay $40 trillion?
