Through the looking glass...

I don't think you would want to play poker with Alexis Tsipras, the Greek Prime Minister.  And yet it seems to me that that is just what he has been doing over the past months with the various organisations his country owes money to.  He's bluffed and bluffed and finally when his bluff was called, he's thrown his cards in.  We now have the crazy situation where he is now offering to submit to terms which are worse than the terms he himself persuaded his country to reject in the recent referendum. The problem now is of course, can he be believed?  Is he bluffing yet again?  I'm just glad I'm not Greek!
