      Care to elaborate? I didn’t say anything about other countries, just about Yanis and some of the claims he made.

      Here’s the perspective from one European country: Greece needed a bailout, our country loaned them 14 billion euros, and pretty much directly after accepting the money, Mr. Varoufakis told the creditors he didn’t want to pay it back.

      If you have a different perspective, please elaborate, because “educating oneself” is too broad a directive.
