Unlike Alabama greece has a huge navy for its size,lots more people than Alabama, a better geographical position and is a weak link in the EU. Loosing Greece could also mean the loss of other southern european countries.
The size of the Greek navy is completely irrelevant as is the population size and I don't know why you lot assume I'm talking specifically about the EU I'm talking about Europe as a whole
China can not become a superpower without the US collapsing and the global reserve currency being pegged to the renminbi, for western capital even a weakened Euro is preferable to the vagaries of the Chinese system
You gotta tell me how in hell the EU is irrelevant when talking about Europe, remeber that Greece is a member state. As for the currency The EU is too weak to be a superpower. it doesn't have an army, it has many currencies, it has already lost an important member state and risked losing others already and there's way too many rivalries inside of it to work properly as an hegemon superpower. You know malta could decide to veto every single proposal if they wanted to right?
I didn't say the EU was irrelevant I said I was talking about Europe as a whole which will remain powerful whether the EU survives the decade or not
And like I said a historically a divided Europe has never stopped the continent from dominating global politics whether it's the Euro or the next best European currency the global reserve currency will never shift to Asia
Greece's economy is the size of Alabama's, literally who cares
