I applaud the Greek Government. They show how important a nationalistic point of view is (as in "Greece first").

For 70 years no German Government could win on a nationalistic ticket. The vast majority of German elites were pro-Europe. The majority of people saw the billions of $ wealth transfer to the southern and eastern countries as moral compensation for the war.

With comparing the elected German chancellor to Hitler, comparing the finance minister to a concentration camp manager and the talk of reparations, Germans felt insulted and black mailed and Greece created cracks in the above narrative.

The Greek government achieved that the next German government and generation of conservatives will win on a nationalistic ticket to fend of right wing anti European parties like the AfD (Alternative For Germany). Which is good, as the best for Germany is not a political union like the EU but TTIP and something like NAFTA combined with a China style currency policy. The EU helps small countries gain disproportional power and poor countries gain money transfers while it binds and hinders Germany and France. The US does what's best for the US for the last 200 years. A proud symbol to learn from.

Next step could be the UK EU exit, FN in France will help, TTIP and with Polish NAFTA love this could be the first stepping stones for an unpolitical economic union.
