The US doesn't refer to the subway/metro as an underground. That's UK.

That's your thank for Schäubles "Griechenlandrettung"? Do you have the slightest idea how much it costed us to give you all the loans you have to pay back with interest? Do you understand our sacrifice we made by forcing all the German companies onto you?

No seriously, this deeply politicized me back then and I'm to this day voting for the one party that wanted a debt cut for Greece. All I can say is I'm sorry for my country.

The only problem i have about the Greece help is that they paid it back with dirty China money.

As a greek, I can confirm. This is pretty accurate.
