As we
approach closer to the end of the four-month truce period achieved by
the Greek government during the negotiations with the lenders, more
signs appear showing that we are heading towards a big "collision"
in Europe. As already mentioned in previous article, it is extremely
difficult for Alexis Tsipras and Angela Merkel to find, eventually, a
common ground: “No matter how many meetings will be conducted
between Tsipras and Merkel, there is no chance that they will meet
somewhere in the middle. Chancellors' moderate stance to Tsipras'
"audacity" is only a tactic retreat against the tactical,
resolute move by the Greek government to use the Russian card, and
force Obama to make another call to Merkel. There is no chance that
they will meet, exactly because they serve conflicting interests.
Merkel and the troika of course, represent bankers and lobbyists.
Tsipras represents the majority of the people.”

Currently,
there is a major psychological war from both sides through a
bombardment of contradictory statements. The big difference now, is
that this war is conducted equally from Greece and the European
"empire", while under previous governments in Greece, this
tactic was an exclusive monopoly of the European institutions and the
IMF.
Starting
from the latest article in Telegraph, some sources from the Greek
side claimed that the country is ready to default on IMF, in order to
be able to pay salaries and pensions. There are also claims that
Greece prepares to return to national currency and nationalize banks.

Some
scenarios are already out there about how this will happen, and how
the Greek government will take advantage of the Greek Orthodox Easter
Holiday next week, to start circulating drachmas
(https://hat4uk.wordpress.com/2015/04/03/breaking-greece-to-default-late-hours-of-8th-april-sources/).
It appears
that, the Greek government is playing the game with the terms of the
Germans and the eurocrats, as the Greek officials counterattack
through leaking statements that aim to transfer the pressure to the
other side. However, these basic moves may be already prepared
(http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/02/three-key-moves-new-greek-government.html),
and ready to be applied, if necessary. Therefore, the Greeks may want
to make clear that they are not bluffing.
Meanwhile,
the repayment of IMF on 9 April is only one day after Tsipras' visit
to Moscow. There is some information according to which, despite that
the day of the visit has changed to a month earlier, "...
Tsipras will return to Moscow again on 9 May to attend ceremonies
marking the 70th anniversary of the end of the great patriotic war."
(http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/apr/02/tsipras-moscow-risks-putin-useful-idiot)
Everything shows that Moscow sees a great opportunity to exploit the
situation, expanding Russia's geopolitical influence.
As part of
1st April jokes, some websites in Greece had circulated the false
information that Tsipras is about to request the participation of
Greece in the Eurasian Economic Union! However, such a perspective
should not surprise us eventually! The Greek government may choose to
show that there is no point to stay in the eurozone under such
catastrophic conditions imposed by the lenders. There is no rule that
forbids Greece to be part of the EU (not eurozone), while at the same
time participate in other country formations, anyway.
Additionally,
Greece may start to seek other alternatives. Apart from the BRICS
solution, Greece may also turn to the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank
(AIIB), as many countries, even from the hard core of the Western
bloc already applied to join. Latest examples, Portugal and Iceland
(http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/04/aiib-rapid-expansion-to-west-continues.html).
All these
developments certainly bring further panic to the Western economic
oligarchy which sees that the balance could change rapidly in the
European battlefield. With these puppets in power, Europe has no
chance to compromise with Greece, find a real solution and change
course for the benefit of the people. The only perspective for the
moment is a big "collision" after the end of the truce
period, or, maybe earlier. The battle outcome always depends on how
the European people will react ...
