Who was asking how many divisions the Germans will send?
Preventing borrowing against junk bonds = sending military divisions?
Who knew?
Also, when is the EU going after Goldman Sachs for helping the Greek Politicians from doctoring and fudging all those docs and numbers? And Deutsche Bank for criminal negligence?

The Germans took Austria in 2 days, Poland in 1 week, and France in 1 month.
I think the Greeks will surrender in 2 hours.

Tough words coming from somebody who lives in a country whose annual trade deficit with China alone is bigger than Greece's EU-IMF loan restructuring debt.
And of course, in monetary amounts, the US is the most indebted nation in the history of all Humanity.
With 90+% of that indebtedness since around 1982.

Yeah, but we can afford it. Japanese debt and lots of other countries owe a lot more compared to their GDP.
Just look at the dollar, the whole world has full confidence in us. It's good to be American. :)

Especially tough from someone who expects his house to appreciate 6% a year forever.
Talk of lifestyle financed by others!

In a decision that rattled financial markets, the ECB said it would no longer allow Greek banks to use government debt, which has a junk rating, as collateral for loans.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Greece
The German Twelfth Army—under the command of Field Marshal Wilhelm List—was charged with the execution of Operation Marita. His army was composed of six units:
First Panzer Group, under the command of General Ewald von Kleist.
XL Panzer Corps, under Lieutenant General Georg Stumme.
XVIII Mountain Corps, under Lieutenant General Franz Böhme.
XXX Infantry Corps, under Lieutenant General Otto Hartmann.
L Infantry Corps, under Lieutenant General Georg Lindemann.
16th Panzer Division, deployed behind the Turkish-Bulgarian border to support the Bulgarian forces in case of a Turkish attack.
I'm guestimating 16.
In a decision that rattled financial markets, the ECB said it would no longer allow Greek banks to use government debt, which has a junk rating, as collateral for loans.
The announcement came just hours after new Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis held his first talks with ECB chief Mario Draghi as part of the country's push to renegotiate Athens' 240-billion-euro ($270 billion) EU-IMF bailout.
