Russia Finance Minister Siluanov told CNBC that Russia would be ready to assist Greece, if Greece would ask for help.
That is an interesting geopolical (not market) development.
Also there is the new “BRIC” Bank (anti IMF) founded mainly by China, Brazil and Russia.
This could be a great help to Tsiparas and Greece.
A Greece in the Russian/Chinese sphere of influence would be terrible for NATO. Turkey is already a frenemy (friend and enemy) and losing Greece would compromise the American superiority in the East Mediterranean and block the Black Sea and isolate Ukraine.
Already Greece tried (unsuccesfully) to block NATO sanctions against Russia. And both Russia and China acquired land and harbour (plus there is the new pipeline from Turkey).
A very interesting February
