Greek Leader's Visit To Russia Spurs Talk Of Alternative Loan Deal

June 19, 2015

A top Russian official has declined to say whether his country is going to lend money to Greece, ahead of a meeting between the Greek and Russian leaders June 19.

Meanwhile, Greece's left-wing Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is on a previously planned trip to Russia, his second visit since April, to meet President Vladimir Putin and attend a St. Petersburg economic forum starting June 18.

Tsipras' visit has given rise to speculation that the Greeks could be seeking Russian loans.

Any move by Russia to aid Greece would accomplish Putin's goal of splitting the European Union's so-far united front against doing new business with Russia.

Asked by The Associated Press whether Russia is going to offer Greece money, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said he "cannot comment on specific decisions."

every country in the world economically, as they have, Wall St. leading the way. They DESTROYED Greece then tried to get MORE, same thing with Ireland, Portugal, Spain, pushing their neo-Liberal draconian IMF/Word Bank loans on these countries, destroying their Social Programs and putting millions out of work,

Heartless, monsters.

Now they will whine that Russia is 'invading' Greece. Hey, it is the duty of the Greek Govt, who I love btw, as Bernie says, we need to support them now. The FIRST THING they did when elected was to RESTORE the Social Programs the Oligarchs took away to use that money for their wealthy buddies, it is their duty to do what is best for their people, and the EU now under the control of the same morons who crashed the world's economies, just pushed them too far.

Same thing is going to happen with the rest of the countries they are bullying into poverty.
