I'm sure the Cypriots don't want to rot, so why not take the EU bail out? Yes, they lose 6-10%, but that is much better than 100%. And the Russia mafia won't be that angry.

1: Because it's not a solution.

2: It's a temporary measure that will only lead to a worse temporary measure.

So what was the right solution? Kick Cyprus out of the EU and let them scavenge for themselves? Letting the banks fail might attract an invasion from Russia, and then it becomes a NATO problem....such a mess.

There ain't no right solution.

That's the biggest problem of them all.

Earlier, in biblical period, god would flush the toilet and things would start from scratch.

Now, we can't afford to flush.

I'm not really sure how useful this kind of thinking is, but I understand what you mean.

It's like being trapped under water. We know that the oxygen will run out at some point. And there is nothing that we can do about it.

Also, there is nothing useful about realizing it.

We simply have to accept it.
