No , I ' m not . He ' s an idiot for ignoring politics reality . He was gambling with nothing in his hand . The Finnish only barely passed parliament on the bailou package for Greece , and they had to ask for collateral . The Baltic states and others were already suffering from internal devaluation and had lower GDPcapita than Greece , and yet you ' d expect a debt write off to pass parliament there ? Let alone myriad other areas where there were conflicts that made t impossible to passLike yanis , you ' re only looking at it from a ' solve greeces problems ' perspective , and ignoring the problems it would cause for other countries . It was never going to happen , he should ' ve worked for pragmatic changes and not the bullshit line in the stand . The failure of the bailouts is squarely on his shoulders . He could ' ve worked with them , instead of being antagonistic .
