The EU is risking a lot, both politically and economically, in the Greek crisis, and the U.S. risks even more because the strategic situation of Greece compromises the protection given to Israel by the leading world power. The Middle East is threatened by the shocking violence of the Islamic State group, which is pursuing the establishment of a global caliphate by spreading terror with its fanatic and highly equipped army.
Even the CIA does not seem to have any valuable information about possible agreements between [Greek Prime Minister Alexis] Tsipras and Putin or China, whose economic power and wealth are impressive. According to many, the Greek prime minister is just bluffing. But some clever analysts are of the opinion that the Greek government is watching its back by establishing contact with Russia and China.
The U.S. reacted immediately due to the breakdown in negotiations. President Obama himself called Angela Merkel to demand that she be more flexible in order to achieve a strong agreement with Tsipras' Greece.
Germany and its European servants are plotting to take the Greek government down, while the U.S. is more in favor of reasonable negotiation and agreement. At the end of the day, the Middle East is burning and the Greek crisis is not only Europe's business, but also Russia and China's. And the business of the United States.
La Europa Unida se juega cartas importantes, tanto políticas como económicas, en la crisis griega. Estados Unidos todavía más porque la situación estratégica de la nación helena compromete el amparo que la primera potencia del mundo presta tradicionalmente al estado de Israel. El Oriente Medio está en llamas, zarandeado por un estado islámico que aspira al califato multinacional y que actúa con un salvajismo estremecedor, manejando a la vez el terrorismo más atroz y un ejército fanático y excelentemente armado.
Ni siquiera la CIA parece tener información contrastada sobre los eventuales acuerdos de Tsipras con la Rusia de Putin o la China que rezuma dólares y poderío económico. Son muchos los que creen que el primer ministro griego juega de farol. Pero analistas sagaces piensan que el Gobierno griego se ha cubierto las espaldas con Rusia y China.
Estados Unidos reaccionó de forma fulminante ante la fractura de las negociaciones. El presidente Obama llamó personalmente a Angela Merkel para exigir a la canciller alemana flexibilidad y un acuerdo consistente con la Grecia de Tsipras.
Alemania y sus pajes europeos conspiran para derribar el Gobierno griego. Estados Unidos prefiere la negociación y el acuerdo razonable. La crisis griega, en fin, con el Oriente Medio ardiendo, no se juega solo en la Europa del euro. También en Rusia y China. También en los Estados Unidos de América.

History has never witnessed a leader quite like Donald Trump — a mix of ignorance, arrogance immorality, brazenness, insensitivity and sheer stupidity.
