Re: Eurozone will collapse...

So in other words, they didn't actually pay it. Rather like a stag weekend that rents a holiday cottage and trashes it, then refuses to pay for the damage, the landlord (IMF) has simply dipped into the security deposit to cover the repairs.

The major creditor states have long since prepared for Grexit, as has Greece and the EU itself. The only thing keeping it in the Euro now, is the lingering, hopeless belief that European integration is, must be, has to be irreversible, coupled with a very, very angry US State Department that really doesn't want to see Greece go running off to uncle Vlad.
