RT: Greece threatens to seize German property, Berlin refuses to pay WWII reparations
Germany says it won’t pay Greece World War 2 reparations after Greek PM Alexis Tsipras said Berlin is using legal tricks to avoid paying compensation. Germany says it’s honored its obligations, while Greece says it may start seizing German property.
Germany once again dismissed Greek demands to pay reparations for the 1941-44 Nazi occupation of Greece.
WNU Editor: Even the Russian anchor in the above video is skeptical of these Greek demands ... if not downright sneering. Not surprising .... some Germans are beyond furious right now .... Germany's Merkel narrowly avoided bigger revolt on Greece - sources (Reuters).

Update: The Greeks are apparently demanding $332 billion euros .... or $350 billion US in damages. But here is the funny part .... from what I am reading .... many Greeks actually believe that they are going to get this amount as well as not being responsible for their existing international debt and obligations of about $300 billion USD.
This is what a country looks like when its government and its people have made the decision to collectively commit suicide.

Or perhaps this is what a country does hen it wants to be thrown out of the EU, sort of like Brer Rabbit when he said, "oh please don't throw me in that briar patch.."
And another perhaps farfetched thought ; what if once they are thrown out of the EU they delay making any payments at all saying they need to collect past WWII debt from Germany before they can enter into any payment agreement?
Greece should have defaulted when their debt was only 40 billion,now with all the bailouts it's 300+ billion .. turning the Greeks into banker debt slaves ..
Good job EU/IMF
Betcha Italy, Spain, and Portugal are watching very closely.
