Who asked the writer for a personality profile.  Tsipras is a phenomenal leader; he's Greek.  He cares
& he's passionate.  What can be said of US leadership - the greed and self-interest & lobbyists running the gov't. Greeks deserved some good faith negotiations, no matter the personalities. IMF walked away, World Bank & leaders of EU not only snubbed Greeks, but seemed to think they're entitled to continue the austerity to gain interest on the original investment.  Reading prize-winning economists & Lagarde agrees that Greece cannot sustain the hard-line agreement of the past.  The point is Greece gained nothing at all in the negotiations; therefore, Greeks should be on the course of self-determination.  They should restructure and move forward with tourism industry and their own management of the government. Greece should consider taking a 'sweeter' deal from Putin and collaborate with other lenders offering a better agreement.  Why not?  Greece has gained only more debt and hardship when trying to sustain w/ harsh terms agreed to by former Greek leadership.  Tsipras & Yanis are brilliant.  This writer has not done his due diligence on the history or economics, in my opinion.  Some effort on research & changing the tone of this article would be fairer to the people involved in such serious matters.
