coronavirus: war of the worlds: Will Greece Rise On This Fore Of This Covid-19 Ashes?

The Coronavirus has been a shock to the earth and continues to be so. There are often little question that the economies of most major countries are getting to be decimated as a result, and life as we've known it'll probably take years to return, if it ever does.
Greece like every other nation has been hit, but by locking down early and with swift efficiency, the direct Covid-19 damage has been quite limited thus far and hopefully will still be so.

Prior to this world catastrophe Greece had been very publicly burdened with a debt to GDP ratio that was much scorned by many nations, but now, similar equations will become kind of a drop in the ocean as compared to others following the Covid-19 aftermath.

So in future terms, Greece might well have had this financial stigma removed. Yet this might be seen by some as merely fortuitous, but an undeserved, chain of events. However truth nature of how Greece has been diligently clawing its way back to the productive world has not been given full credit, especially when put into context of the systematic destruction of its infrastructure, plus abject theft of every asset merely an extended generation ago under the hands of Third Reich during the earth War two occupation.

Few now remember how Greece was quite possibly the founding father of the fashionable civilization as we all realize it . actually that was within the long and distant past, but even today little credit is given to the amazing creative power and work ethic, of the up and coming generations of young and middle-aged Greeks.

By way of example, simply cast an eye fixed fixed down the lists of the very best quality universities, the simplest specialist doctors and thus the brightest scientific minds the earth over, then notice the predominance of Greek men and ladies at every turn. Consider these in contrast with the image put out by some that the Greek nation is awash with drunks and lazy loafers with begging bowls forever in their hands, nothing could be beyond the truth .

So what qualifies the Greek nation to even sit at the same table as those currently described because the 'Super Powers'?

coronavirus: war of the worlds:
For a start Greece is already acknowledged by them as a land of stability and security, despite being surrounded by bickering countries. Although technically an area of the ecu Union, Greece already holds excellent relations with these major powers, Russia, The US and China all use Greece as a 'Hub' for much of their enterprise.

The Chinese chose Greece as its main Mediterranean port for his or her 'Silk Road' project. The Russian 'Gas Pipeline' is hosted by Greece and thus the US needs the Souda Bay trouble harbor and airport in Crete for its strategic aims.

Greece is additionally soon to take advantage of its own new oil and gas supplies, plus has considerable wider assets of gold, minerals, international shipping, excellent academic facilities and actually not forgetting the fastest growing tourist industry within the planet .

So why should Greece raise to the fore after Covid-19?

It is my belief that the earth after Covid-19 will soon recognize it suffers from an influence vacuum.

Citizens of the earth will emerge with a realigned demand for a replacement kind of leadership. Military might and opulent wealth have proven to be meaningless when attacked by an invisible enemy to health. What they go to demand could also be a replacement emphasis on humanitarian values, an individual helping man thrust, not communism, but some kind of 'Us against disease' ethic, one that respects and works consonant with the protection of the world as its main objective.

But surely our Super Powers will recognize this need and alter accordingly!
"I for one don't think so!"

Our world leaders have in most instances shown how shallow their 'powers' really are.

The US has clearly lost all direction, for more details merely ask a disinfectant salesman.China, who was striving hard to become 'The' primary world power , is now commonly distrusted as potentially the creator of 'The Virus that Got Away' from their germ warfare lab.

The European Union, Germany and France, have proven themselves to be toothless entities when the chips are down. Then Russia, under Putin, although technically not of a Communist persuasion, still smacks dangerously of its Orwellian roots.

This list actually misses out another previous civilization creator, the uk . Now released from its EU chains and under a dynamic new leadership, the uk could on paper be a contender or even partner within the new world order.
But for now, after a decade or two of limp government, the uk has quite plate crammed with internal issues to sort before flexing its muscles too widely on the earth stage.

So discounting all of the other Eastern states as a source of leadership i actually believe that Greece could well become the Phoenix of Leadership to rise from the ashes of Covid-19.

coronavirus: war of the worlds:

But as a replacement kind of 'Leadership', one of sense , still capitalism because the facility source to development, but a kind of progression for the advantage of the citizens of the earth , big and tiny . A nasty shock to some... A blessing to others!
