Greeks and other southern Europeans could now be feeling schadenfreude as Germany faces the collapse of its economic model in the face of the Ukraine war and the new cold war with China. But with a democratic Europe in the balance, this is no time to gloat.

While Varoufakis is considered a leftist idiot by many, he does have a point here. A decade ago, Germany demanded that Greeks should be taxed more and learn to live with even less. The net result is that the same political system that caused this due to corruption and incapability remains in power till this very day, while those who didn't participate it have become poorer and Germany fervently supported this political system because it is subservient to Germany.

I'm quite dazzled, realizing people actually getting my vibe.
