Almost every country that has a coastline along the Med anywhere, or which is landlocked, is somehow a bit squirrelly.

Greece is now turning to the US for financial help.

Extending his charm offensive to Washington DC, the flamboyant finance minister held talks with senior administration officials after meeting IMF managing director Christine Lagarde and attempting to allay fears of an imminent Greek default.

Emerging from discussions with Lagarde on Sunday, Varoufakis had insisted Greece intended "to meet all obligations to all its creditors, ad infinitum". In the coming weeks, the country faces a series of debt repayments, including a €450m (£331m) instalment to the IMF on 9 April.

Greece's leftist-led coalition is hoping to draw support from a US administration widely perceived to have taken a softer line than creditors in Europe over Athens' need to adopt austerity.

That kind of news doesn't make it into our news cycle so I wasn't aware we had taken that opinion.

I'm not exactly surprised - Obama seems to be incapable of making a competent decision either abroad or at home. That said, I would be interested in finding out exactly what his line of thinking is on this.

Well to be fair, not many people understand what he is up to, so I guess alot of people just guess that it must be very clever.
