а теперь - Цирпас

похоже, вашингтонский обком готовит Цирпаса на выход. по крайней мере так это представлено в центральной правде: From Berlin to Brussels to Washington to Athens, the same question was asked about Greece’s debt crisis: What kind of game is Mr. Tsipras playing?

до асада и путина дело еще не дошло, но вот несколько фраз:

. ...his fellow European leaders shut down negotiations, capped the lifeline they had been providing Greece’s banks, angrily denounced him as irresponsible and dishonest with his own people, and not so subtly suggested that Greece needed a new government if it wanted to continue drawing economic help.

. To some critics, Mr. Tsipras turned to the referendum as a last-ditch play to retain power by stoking a nationalistic response to Greece’s standoff with its creditors.

. Mr. Tsipras’s tactic ... defining him as a rare unpredictable force among European Union leaders.

ну и так далее
