I thought the thing with Topless Barry was real at first.

It's good. If he can manage the Steam marketplace I'm sure he can manage a single country.

I'm looking forward to the hat I will get after Greece has repaid the Netherlands' share of the loans back.

Well if Greece goes there's a not insignificant we're going to be bringing onboard Turkey as a consequence, so maybe Remove Kebab isn't the most appropriate inspiration.

REMOVE FETA?

Though in all honesty this kinda shows one of the major problems of EU and that is centralization of power. Of course, is see no reason not to believe this whole problem will just boil down to "confusion linked to the hand-over of power in Athens" and that EU statement was written with the consent of all of the appropriate representatives from different EU states. But there's still the fact that certain EU states are true leaders while others just blindly follow them...

Eh, but TBH I'm rambling a bit. Carry on, citizens.

Remove Ouzo from the premises, then add kebab to taste.

Honestly though, I don't think Turkey has a chance even with Greece out. The don't even feel too strongly about joining anymore, IIRC, and their stance on ISIS will probably be a snag on their potential application.
