    Might be serious, might be nothing that bad at all. But given how US and European markets are acting around terrible world ending news like good jobs numbers just because it might mean a quater point rate hike, you have to think this might be big.

    This doesn't mean that they are going to default but a lot of people thought that they were just about to announce a deal, not just about to see the IMF walking out in a huff.

    To me both sides have terms they consider non-negotiable and wont budge on. They remain diametrically opposed and refuse to compromise in key areas, any agreements reached so far are just window dressing.

    I can see a fresh election being called putting a freeze on creditor negotiations and payments....a default default.

    More melodrama than a US daytime soapy. Wake me up from my coma when it's revealed Tsipras is Merkel's lovechild

    Negotiating tactic. Not a particularly sophisticated one.
    A deal was 95% settled, in principle.
    The IMF walked out probably chasing a minor concession, a 'sweetener' so they don't appear 'soft' in any future negotiation...or they want are looking to bring in a Closer.

    They're obviously taking a page out of the Greek pkaybook. I still refuse to believe they aren't just playing poker. We get it, you study game theory, this isn't new start negotiations.

    Hahahahahaha,

    If you think for a moment that all these guys in power are on different side then think a bit more. Whole thing is engineered, everyone in power is bought and paid for and death quickly follows anyone going against the agenda.

    These charades are to give all those who aren't in the know the illusion of opposition.

    What if the opposition is real but the conspiracy within the conspiracy is that they are all on the same side is a charade to throw off all the conspiracy theorists?

    Can you provide any proof for this far fetched conspiracy theory of yours?

    Where I come from mocking conspiracy theories isn't the same thing as making one up.

    I want to know which forum member skyrocket is, I'm pretty sure it's a parody/spam account...same story for Yanis Varoufakis now that I think about it.
