lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, one of the main topics that will be discussed at the G7 is Greece, but even a high-school economics student could tell you what is wrong in Greece. Greece is a member of a currency that does not work for a country with its economic profile, and none of the debates, promises or strategies the G7 will discuss will change this fact. The US delegation to the G7 has expressed concern that Greece could turn to Russia, but can you blame a country that has been economically martyred on the altar of the euro for looking for alternatives? When you look at the real human suffering in Greece, when you look at youth unemployment, when you see soup kitchens and rocketing suicide rates, then Russia could seem like a realistic option. Indeed, Russia and its partners China, India and Brazil, have set up the BRIC network, which is providing an important alternative pillar of political leadership in our world, in comparison to the G7. For example, the BRIC countries have swept the oceans of Somalia almost entirely of pirates; they have pioneered high-yield crops in Africa; they have built infrastructure projects in some of the world’s poorest countries. Meanwhile, the G7 pontificates on the world’s problems and it is mostly talk and not walk. It is the old world versus the new, and the old is losing. And if the best that we can come up with is threats against Greece then maybe the G7 needs a rethink. World leadership is shifting to the BRIC nations and we have a choice. Either we engage constructively with these powers, or watch as more countries flock to BRIC. If we continue on the road we are on, I fear that Greece might just be the first of many."@en1
