Here we have Germany and France handcuffing Greece to a radiator until it pays them back.. The last 2 bailouts were basically "Hey here's a ton of money, now don't spend it on yourself because you actually owe us a shit ton so if we could have the accounts you have settled with us paid we'd be grateful, and by that we mean do it right now or we open fire. And by the way you will still have to pay this loan back even after you've finished paying us back, after all we did give you that money out of the kindness of our heart."

What a load of rubbish.
Offering soft loans to Greece for it to refinance and renegotiate its sovereign debt is a bit different than the conspiracy theory you've invented.
Furthermore, there's the tiny issue of pardoning half of Greece's debt back in 2010. Somehow that doesn't register on your conspiracy radar.
I wonder why.
