How would Greece leave the Eurozone? By force? There is no mechanism in place for a country to be kicked out of the Eurozone. By referendum? The overwhelming majority of Greeks want to stay in the Eurozone. How exactly?
Germany's government has made this a legitimate threat simply by having Schauble and Merkel repeat it daily until everyone accepts it as fact. The truth is, if Greece leaves (because a country cannot be kicked out), the rest will eventually leave one by one and the currency will fall apart.
Merkel knows this very well, but won't admit to it openly so as to hold onto her power projection capabilities in European politics. She knows that if pro-bailout parties do not govern after the elections in Greece on June 17th, she is toast. She lost her ally in Sarkozy, and is desperate to gain one back in Hollande.
The Greek media blasted SYRIZA (left-wing anti-bailout party) leader Alexis Tsipras for stating this, but he is calling Merkel's bluff and doing it very well.

Why will other countries get out if Greece did? I heard that Greece was pushing its luck, wanting for a better deal..
Isn't it that a little bit irresponsible? What does it say of the moral character of its people?
Just asking..

and really... if the euro did collapse, why is that a bad thing... all of these countries made it 80 years with the previous currencies, and not a major economic crisis. within 15 years of the euro, it crashes, and the global economy collapses. cannot be a total coincidence. it made it too easy for big banks to be dumb.

Basically we are in an age in which technology has allowed greedy rich in power to f*ck up poor people faster.
It doesn't matter if the Eurozone falls or if USA falls to them, they have their means secured. Poor people is the one suffering the economical situations.
Greed has poisoned our minds, we better suicide as a civilization.

A few weeks ago I saw a picture of a Greek man in a business suit eating his meal from a garbage can
