Greece’s
gross debts add up to around $320 billion in nominal value, according
to the International Monetary Fund. That’s big compared to the
Greek economy, but tiny compared to the world outside. It’s less
than 3% of the entire eurozone economy, which is about $13.5
trillion. So even if Greece refused to pay one more nickel of its
debts — an outcome no one is suggesting — the eurozone could make
up the difference with about eight days’ output ... or an
hour’s money-printing by the ECB.
The Jimmy Dore Show Little progress is being made in negotiations between the United States and Iran over the latter’s nuclear program, and that may be by design. The U.S. is demanding a complete dismantling of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, which is a non-starter for the Iranians. Meanwhile, the U.S. appears to have reneged on a promise to get a ceasefire and humanitarian aid into Gaza in exchange for the release of the last American hostage, so Hamas — and by extension Iran — feel the U.S. cannot be trusted in negotiations. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Israel appears to be orchestrating a U.S. attack on Iran that few Americans have any interest in.
