Standard and Poor's 'coincidentally' upgrades the Greek economy after Greece expels two Russian diplomats
Credit
ratings agency Standard and Poor's has upgraded
its outlook on Greece to positive, citing improved policy
predictability and economic prospects. In a statement published late
Friday, the agency said that this reflects a possible upgrade if the
authorities unlock Greece's growth potential by boosting competition
in product markets, bolstering property rights, simplifying
bankruptcy procedures and improving the enforcement of contracts.
We are
talking about the country that was excluded from the markets and
entered the disastrous IMF program supervised by its creditors (ECB,
European Commission, IMF), with a debt at 120% of GDP. Guess what:
now the euroclowns decided that the country no longer needs to be in
the program with a debt at 180% of GDP! And the rating agencies of
the global financial mafia decided to upgrade Greece!
Previously,
Reuters opened the road through the headline
'Greece prepares to fly solo on bond markets'.
Just
when the ruined Greek economy was left alone to swim with the sharks
of the “free markets”, the mechanisms of the Western imperialism
rushed to provide the country with the necessary credibility. Why
now?
Here is
why: Greece fully obeyed to the desire of the Western neocolonialists
to cut ties with Russia. Indeed, ties between Greece and Russia
dramatically deteriorated after the Greek government decided
to expel two Russian diplomats, and ban the entry
into Greece of two more. The action came on the alleged intrusion
into domestic affairs and illegal acts against Greece's national
security.
Do you
need more evidence that the 'free market' is a fairy tale and that
all motives are purely political?
The once
Leftist Alexis Tsipras and his administration are doing whatever they
can to please the Western neocolonialist apparatus in order to get
support for the 2019 national elections.
With the
right-wing opposition leader, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, being definitely a
faithful neoliberal puppet of the West, the options of Greece for
geopolitical flexibility have been dramatically reduced. The debt
colony no longer will be able to make any decision by its own. It
will have to obey fully either to the US imperialists, or, the
Brussels-Berlin axis.
Greece
will pay another heavy price in the future for this disastrous
decision to cut ties with Russia. History shows that the ruthless
Western imperialists will have no problem even to dissolve the
country, as long as such a development serves their interests.
