GREECE vs. GERMANY

Germans have been long enough at teaching others about honor, honesty and human rights.

 

Now that our dear neighbor Greece has remembered that Germans never paid back the gold Nazis stole from the Greek Central Bank (during WWII), the Germans will have to learn to put their money where their mouths are.

Greece wants the gold Germans stole - back.

 

Turkia will obviously support her dear neighbor. How about that ?   {#emotions_dlg.lol_fast}

Media wars:

 

 

Translation: "Frauds in the Euro-Family"

 

Response: "Germans above All: Are Greeks worth our money"

 

And finally this clip from a German TV show: (Can´t include a screenshot here since it would probably be considered inappropriate)

not really, coz turkey isn´t in eu, why should turkey be bothered about some domestic fight inside eu? estonia is in eu, also suffered from germany during ww2, but even here it´s no big deal if some big brothers are fighting with each other. there won´t be a ww3 about that money anyway.

Thank you...I had a bet with a friend of mine.. My claim was you neither had a clue about the subject, nor knew what you were talking about....I won the bet.

It´s a bit late for Greece to cry foul now!  Seems there should be a statute of limitations on one countries ability to lay claim to a debt from another country!  

 

OK, I am not pretending to know a lot about the situation other than what is posted, but it doesn´t seem right on the surface.

My opinion: indeed, a bit late.....how about trying to divert attention from the real and dire financial strait Greece is finding itself right now, and EU demands in this regard?

 

That would make sense following on last week´s events.
