American media blame Merkel for failing to Greece

Greece's failure is the failure of Merkel. To vote "no" in Sunday's referendum, which moreover had the profound difference "yes" -in Greece Bloomberg writes Clive Crook, won a bittersweet moment, even though the consequences may suffer for years on.

It was just one of many miscalculations absurd to the Greeks. Alexis Tsipras has not been completely honest with the voters and the kept in the dark when it comes to the cost of his actions. But the same can be said for Angela Merkel, says Crook.

For months, the chancellor has not clearly explained why avoid a Greek bankruptcy was in the interests of German taxpayers. And recently, not only has overlooked these explanations, but also has misled with the information on what is actually in the game.

Germans today will not cut their losses, leaving the bankrupt Athens. Germans, says Crook, will reduce losses taking from Greece as much as they can. And such a tough line against German Chancellor also featured other US media. "Does it make Greece a state Merkel threw away?" asks "Newsweek".

The big loser in this situation has to be Germany itself, not Greece, says CNBC. "The German government polarises Europe" was the title of an article blistering prestigjozes "Wall Street Journal" three days ago, citing and a critic sentences saving policies, Spaniard Pablo Iglesias.

We had told him we do not want the German colony. Columnist comment left of the New York Times, Paul Krugman, who crossed from the title of a dramatic tone. His article starts with the words: "To stop the Greek hemorrhaging." Krugman compares Merkel and other European leaders to medieval doctors to cure the patient to take blood. Only that instead of healing the sick Greek, what follows is a crisis.
