European politicians failed to see that the single currency’s existence is in peril, trying to blame the system’s failures on individual countries, Aditya Chakrabortty, lead economics writer for The Guardian newspaper, told RT.

The Statements by this British are the more hollow seen in the light that it was the European Union who some years ago at the beginning of the financial Crisis bailed out The United Kingdom by bailing out Ireland Without that .. many of the biggest British Banks would have been bancrupt as they otherwise would have faced enormous losses due to their exposure to the Irish Debt Market ! We did not hear any negative comments out of Anglosaxonia at that occasion !
Its always nice to read the rational views of the deep thinkers who contribute to the wisdom and knowledge of this esteemed organ. I often find that the contributions have great depth, often so deep that they are incomprehensible to those who live on a plane other than that of the contributors

regarding alleged bank runs: (unregistered) wrote in #5
The same gold speculators trying to profit again by stiring a euro crash. Nice try but it would be more effective if you did not make that same claim every week on RT comments section and get proven wrong every time. RTs euro sceptic status has also become crystal clear and you wont often hear RT say that eurozone has a 750 billion bailout package if neccesary which is far more than EU debts. You also wont hear them mention China who are very rich and eager to buy up euro assets if allowed. That means that even in worste case senario greece will become debt free if it has to be bailed out not a "euro crash doom!!!! the end is nie!". THIS BAILOUT PACKAGE IS A FUNDAMENTAL MATH F ACT NOBODY CAN DENY!.
that this crisis was caused by design, ON PURPOSE, to crash the Greek economy and privatize and steal all of its public assets.Just because the money is there for a bailout, does not mean it will be used that way, or ever used for the Greek people's benefit.

Just Issue Drachmas (unregistered)17.05.2012 15:13
Why can't they just issue Drachmas, and let them circulate side by side with Euros???
The army would only be needed against the bankers to force them to revalue their Euro Bonds in terms of Drachmas for interest and principal payments.
The re is no need for the Euro currency to leave Greece.
Just start paying salaries in Drachmas, and collecting taxes in Drachmas, but allow both currencies to circulate freely side by side in the retail area?
