Greece is running out of money fast, and is even trying to weasel out of upcoming payments to the IMF. Yet, at the same time, it’s negotiating with Russia to buy S-300 missiles.

Europe’s newest noises regarding Greece are sounding very thuggish.

Greece has been here before: controlled by Europe, unhappy about it, but unwilling to totally walk away. Will this time be different?

A developing run on the Greek banks may speed up the Eurozone crisis.
