    Stay tuned, as other countries demand reparations for the Ottoman Caliphate, the Mongol invasion, the Roman empire, and the Phoenician Empire. Then we move on to all the others.

    I think that there is a case for wanting reparations if the effects and repercussions are ongoing, but it’s hard to see what Greece is suffering now, from what the Third Reich did 80+ years ago.

      Whatever they are suffering from now, the Greek president must be desperate to distract the electorate from with this demand (which exceeds the nominal Greek GDP, by the way).
