Greece Goes to Russia

Well, it looks like Syriza is doing one thing right: making nice with Putin.

Alexis Tsipras visited Moscow this week to enter into a dialogue with the Kremlin about how the two countries can help one another. Allegedly, Russia giving financial aid to Greece, a country presently being sucked dry by Germany and the Jew banks, was not a topic of discussion.

Greece will run out of funds within weeks without more financial aid, and some observers alleged that Tsipras was trying to blackmail the EU by holding out a prospect of a deal with Russia.

But Putin said after the talks that Greece hasn’t asked for any aid, though he made it clear that Russia wants to deepen its energy and industrial cooperation with Greece.

He offered to set up agricultural joint ventures with Greece to allow it to resume its foods exports to Russia, which were blocked last year under Russia’s ban on Western food in retaliation to the EU sanctions.

Putin said they also discussed a possible Russian investment in energy and other projects.

He suggested extending a prospective gas pipeline to Turkey into Greece, saying that such a move would increase its clout and earn it hundreds of millions of dollars in transit payments. “It will increase Greece’s geopolitical status and make it a major transit country,” he said.

Putin in December pulled the plug on a gas pipeline project called South Stream that would have run to Bulgaria, citing the EU opposition to the project. Russia announced an intention to build a pipeline to Turkey instead.

Putin also said that Russian companies could be interested in bidding for infrastructure, energy and other assets that Greece could privatise.

Although both leaders insisted that Greece had not asked the Kremlin for money to service its debts, Mr Putin hinted that help could be on the way.

Underlining the “spiritual” ties between the two Orthodox nations, he said that the two sides should try to mend trade ties damaged by the Ukraine crisis.

“It seems that your visit is very timely, as we have to analyse ways we can return to the previous levels,” he said.

Asked if Russia is using Greece as a Trojan horse meant to split Europe’s united front on sanctions against Russia, Putin said Moscow is “not trying to convince or coerce anyone to do anything.”

Tsipras, likewise, defended Greece’s right to develop warmer ties with Russia, saying that “Greece is a sovereign country with a non-negotiable right to pursue a multifaceted and active foreign policy.”

…

“We fully respect out commitments to all the international institutions,” Tsipras said, adding that it doesn’t mean that his country should not pursue a foreign policy “to benefit all Greeks.”

Tsipras said the heated debate around his Moscow visit makes it look “as if Greece is a debt colony.”

“Greece is not a beggar to go around all the countries asking them to help resolve is financial problem,” he said. “It’s not a Greek problem, it’s a European one. And for this European problem, there will be a European solution. ”

Regardless of the posturing going on here, this is obviously the first step towards Greece being aligned with Russia instead of the EU, and that is a very good thing. Obviously, Tsipras is a coward and a shill, having bowed down completely before the German/Jew debt masters earlier this year, but he is under great pressure to deal directly with Russia.

The more of Europe that aligns itself with Russia the better. If Le Pen at least does that, it will make up for the rest of her failings. That is, if her whole deal doesn’t collapse under the weight of her estrogen before she gets a chance at power in France.

Putin is worried about Russia, and right now the EU is a threat to Russia. So when he makes these alliances, he is not doing so because he desires some influence on the policies of European countries, but only because he wants these countries to have a pro-Russian stance. Putin isn’t going to save Europe, but he may well give someone else an opportunity to do so.
