Just accept you're up shit creek and take responsibility for your actions. Not to mention, 2.4% of Greece's exports are to Macedonia according to those stats...that isn't exactly insignificant.
Today the comparison is closer to Somalia, with none of the upside...

I warned you about degrading Somalia!!!On Delchev's sarcophagus you can read the following inscription: "We swear the future generations to bury these sacred bones in the capital of Independent Macedonia. August 1923 Illinden"

I just heard the greek finance minister has resigned and many others are to follow."Ido not want an uprising of people that would leave me at the first failure, I want revolution with citizens able to bear all the temptations to a prolonged struggle, what, because of the fierce political conditions, will be our guide or cattle to the slaughterhouse"
GOTSE DELCEV

Being poor is a lot easier on the mind than becoming poor.

Funilly enough, if you examine an extreme (yet more realistic) scenario: In case of an ECB "siege", Greece will have no exchange currency (of any form) and will probably have to stop exporting refined petroleum products to you and start storing them.

In your ECB 'siege' example...you won't have money.
Remember, it was access to money and credit that got you in this mess...you may not have that soon.

Apparently, Merkel and Hollande have accepted the Greek referendum. I have my doubts. Europe is talking a big game, making big threats, but in the end they are not going to allow Greece to leave the EU or the Euro. Too much is riding on this.
There is some chatter that the West may plot a coup in Greece, and oust the Greek government from power.
We all know how the West operates. Democracy, democracy, democracy, unless democracy is used to produce an agenda different than that sanctioned by Western interests. The United States and Western Europe are not going to allow Greece to cozy up with Russia more than it has. If Greece splits from the EU and joins BRICS, NATO and the EU will have a serious problem in the Balkans.
Russia knows this and they know what is at stake. Russians credit Greeks for their religion (Orthodox) and the Slavic language, so there is a union here. Russia, of course, has geopolitical and military motivations as well, and Greece is a bit of a pawn, caught between the East and West.
At this point in time anything is possible.

Say what you will about RoG, but regardless of whether a possible act of foolish arrogance leads to utter ruin (quite deservedly I must say), they certainly have some balls, and have subsequently placed Brussels in a pretty precarious situation. The future of the Eurozone could quite possibly be defined by Brussels’ response.“There’s a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part, you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus and you’ve got to make it stop, and you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all” - Mario Savio
