Greek government authorities are on alert after a union of Greek army reservists of Special Forces issued a statement urging the Greek administration to step down and make way for a national unity government. As Keep Talking Greece notes, the statement on the union' website included 15 demands - including the resignation of the Greek President - and urged people to gather at the infamous Syntagma Square on Saturday. The statement was interpreted by some as a call to a "coup d'etat" - denied by the union - but prompted Greece's Supreme Court to meet to discuss it.

If there is a coup I cant help but wonder if the EU will deploy troops to try and stop it.
German tanks on the streets of athens is not the way to win hearts and minds.

No they will throw money into the country but not military. Germans are incredibly sensitive at using military for anything, can you blame them lol... Most Germans, older, would not even have an army. Kinda like Japan only not as bad.

Fat chance. The German armed forces are not a threat to anyone at the moment. Germany can use a much bigger weapon - withdrawal of credit. If the Greek military are stupid enough to carry out a coup then they'll get thrown out of the EU in no time flat, losing their economic lifeline.
