Greece

I thought Russia were on the verge of bankruptcy themselves. How are they bailing out other countries?

Thats the simplicity of the situation, Greece get most of their energy from Russia so it would be more a line of credit than hard cash, plus Russia was Greece's biggest customer for foodstuffs until the EU sanctions, losing the Greeks a large chunk of income and forcing up food prices in Russia.

It would be a big win for Putin, gaining popularity for reducing food prices at home with the added bonus of port facility's in the med, and sticking it to the EU for the situation in the Ukraine while rattling the yanks chain might just appeal to him.
 
Andrew Neil, who I suspect is better informed than anyone on here, says there is no chance of Putin getting involved.
 
Absolute joke in them thinking the Euro will collapse.. They weren't strong enough for the Euro with their tax dodging and lack of innovation.
 
Saw a documentary about that country's drug problem recently. They have a new drug over there that makes Meth look like Corn flakes. Sad stuff.
