Greece is a pawn that has captured nothing

[alice malice]

You can't blame the Greeks of the Left persuasion who hope that Russia
may be an ally or that somehow they will stir fear that a major piece,
Italy or Spain, will take a position of capture behind it, but this
won't happen. It's much-a-do about nothing much, especially now that
Mario has finally pulled the trigger. The US stands ready to do its
part by raising interest rates and Japan will continue to ease. The
headwinds are many and the greatest is  productivity, which will keep
wages down even as asset prices rise. That's CAPITAL in the Empire.
