yea if HIllary won, we'd still be 2014 status quo there

I think it was just a move of desperation

I think it would be worse frankly

I agree, thats what i mean

To me the Iran deal was a big part of it

She could have blocked a lot of lower level imports, not just the oligarch money movement

Yeah no doubt

If Iran can ship oil to Europe, Russia is fucked

yup, having that outlet was their goal

Merkle is the one I can't read

Austria is obvious with that natural gas deal

Christopher Story always called the EU the European Soviet

Could Russia lure Greece away?

Is putin setting up the gentler, kinder Russia with his African debt jubilee?

Yanus on Vladimir

Lol that sounds like a fantasy

Only if Putin is willing to invade turkey over Cyprus

He can play peacemaker

might be talking to Erdogan about using that as a chip to get Greece into the orbit

IF Erdogan has the long game in mind, you never know

(pure thought exercise)

Lol I would bet anything against that happening.

Haha fair

New democracy has...40% Syriza 30

```

That's Mitsotakis

They might be down

They don't seem like hardliners over Cyprus, but I dunno greece that well

Good interview, Maria is always good

```France has a plan for dealing with European Islamic State fighters: get Iraq to handle them. While competing political train wrecks dominate the headlines in the U.S. and the U.K., the French foreign minister recently took a trip to Baghdad in an attempt to warehouse European jihadis, particularly French ones, far away from the continent.```
