Privatisation
As the people of Greece are robbed of their basic rights, public goods and services are being privatised. Electricity, water, ports, beaches, the national broadcasting service, national health care and education are only a few examples.
Greek banks, after robbing taxpayers of tens of billions of bailout money, are now sold out at bargain prices to Greek and foreign capitalists.

The deliberate economic and social destruction by big capital in many countries is clearly expounded by Naomi Klein in The Shock Doctrine. Also, the documentaries Debtocracy (2011) and Catastroika (2012) (with special reference to Greece) are enlightening about the ways global capitalism works to subjugate whole countries and their peoples.
Greece is the first eurozone country to be subjected to this fate, being often referred to as a test case. The implication is that the same savage policies are to be applied to other peoples if the experiment turns out to be successful. The measures taken in Greece are spreading to other countries too, especially in southern Europe.

I wonder if we'll see these names again as Ukraine's state owned assets are privatized.

I get the sense that Putin is going to win this battle, and send our puppets packing.

Assuming "our" side doesn't relinquish control voluntarily, Putin's involvement will be needed.
