The entire negotiation process has been one long clown parade of the Troika failing to agree on even elementary parts of their allegedly common position.

Greece has been effectively negotiating with three or four different parties, several of whom sent low-rent flunkies without a mandate to close a deal to the talks.

It is a testament to the professionalism and discipline of the Greek negotiation team that they did not call bullshit on the whole charade until they were ready to execute on their unilateral options.
