Where, might one ask, is the Greek Prime Minister looking for outside assistance to his country's economic and political problems? Germany? No. Italy? No. France? NO. Egypt? Ha. How about China! So, there's the photo op: the tieless/coatless PM strolling among Chinese officials, looking proud of himself, this leader of 10 millions of Greeks who are scared to death for their country's future. With migrants waiting directions, and citizens waiting for economic relief, the leader is abroad seeking the same From a non traditional ally.
But this is where we find ourselves today: searching for answers for insoluble problems that have wide ranging effects. He can't go to London- it's being unraveled by populism that wants relief from the EU apparently. He's already tried Russya, but Mr. Putin is broke, and all his other money is in Switzerland. The Greeks are in a fix with no easy way out. They want to wake up in a couple of years and find today to be just another nightmare. Fat chance.
