Although Greece is a small country and its economy in comparison to the rest of Europe is within 2% what worries and saddens me is the real suffering of many ordinary Greek people, even those that are photographed queuing at the ATMs.
Once again the fruits of socialism and mad leftists are plainly there on public display, nothing unusual taking the last century as a historic guide. Be it Detroit, Caracas, or Athens, the story is similar, and many people suffer because some misguided do-gooders think that they can escape fiscal gravity, common sense and generally what one consider truth, reality and decency.
Mr Tsipras is a good example of the irrational leader, who smiles when one should cry, high on entitlement mentality and selective on truth and rationality. Give him the trusted Bolshevik's nagan (famous communist pistol used by NKVD in the Soviet Russia) and if he could he would introduce his type of order. These guys know and desire nothing but disaster.
Greeks have already tried a similar root in 1956, now they are at it again.
Tsipras is playing a very dangerous game for all involved. The referendum organised in such a way is only a smoke screen. On the issue on Euro and EU he have had a much better position to go to the nation months before. There must be reasons why he has chosen to act like that.

It looks that Mr Tsipras and his cronies cannot be trusted with anything, they wasted a lot of time and fuel, and made Greece even weaker. The rest of Europeans and the world could only watch how the incompetent institutions were unable to do anything sensible, being led by the socialist snake pit of Brussels.
Is all of it surprising, sadly not that much.
