The Greeks voted no to the European Union's terms, despite warnings from the EU that rejecting new austerity terms would set their country on a path out of the Eurozone. 62% voted "No" while 38% voted "Yes".

    Pretty much my assessment as well.

    Its not like Greece didn't forgive debts owed by the Germans in the past.

    There is nothing to be gained here by demanding payment with funds that the Greek don't have. I'm sure Putin might like a Naval port in the Med, no?

    But I suspect the EU lender countries are waiting for the IMF to step up [skynews.com.au] and assume all Greek debt, and spread the pain, (Mostly to the US no doubt, since the US has the largest single position in the IMF [wikipedia.org])
