- Last January,
ISIS revealed that it is smuggling terrorists into Europe by hiding them
among the immigrants leaving Turkey.
- "If Europe
leaves us in the crisis, we will flood it with immigrants, and it will
be even worse for Berlin if in that wave... there will be some jihadists
of the Islamic State, too." — Panos Kammenos, Defense Minister of
Greece
- Greece is a
member of NATO. The whole world witnessed how the Defense Minister of
one NATO country was threatening other NATO members with unleashing
Islamic terrorists on them.
- A Greek exit will
lead to a power vacuum in the southeastern corner of Europe, which
Russia (and China) will be only too eager to fill. The Chinese are
currently negotiating with the Greek government to acquire an even
larger part of the port of Piraeus.

Across Greece, people have been lining up to withdraw
money from cash machines, most of which have run out of money, after the
government ordered banks to close for six days starting Monday. (Image

Last weekend, Greece failed to reach an agreement with its three
creditors, the European Commission, the European Central Bank, and the
International Monetary Fund. A bankruptcy of the Hellenic Republic is now
imminent. If it materializes, a so-called Grexit will follow: Greece will be
forced to leave the Eurozone -- the group of 19 European Union (EU) member
states that use the euro as their common currency. Leaving the Eurozone
automatically means that, under the EU treaties, Greece will also have to
leave the EU.
