If they can have their favourite nemesis Turkey be the bad guy, and there is bad history too, then the politicians and bankers squeezing the workers are let off the hook.
Both Greece and Turkey need to divert their citizens from their internal problems. It happened in the past and it will happen in the future.
However, to believe that a bankrupt Greece and israel decided to involve themselves in this dangerous game without America's blessing is naive.
The money trust uses Greece and Turkey as pawns in their larger agenda. Turkey and Erdogan are barking hard enough so to gain at least something. If you scream enough and you demand a lot, you might get something out of nothing. If Turkey dares to attack Israel-an impossibility-i would expect to see a new Kurdistan country the day after in Eastern Turkey. Greece has technically lost its sovereignty with the economic crisis and will do what the Uncle Sam instructs her to do.
I don't buy the Israel-Russia cooperation either. Greece certainly would not dare to do this after the bungled effort of the Burgas-Alexandroupoli pipeline.
It was our previous Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis who signed off this deal with the Russians, and brought the Russians in the Meditterenean sea, something that constitutes an Anathema for USA foreign policy and energy goals. The telecomunications of Karamanlis were monitored and wire tapped by unknown forces and recently it was discovered that it was all done through the US embassy in Athens. Officially the US government refuses to comment on these.
There were also rumors that the Russians saved Karamanlis life when a friendly to Greece country was planning to assassinate him. Now if this attempt would have been succesful, i am certain that a new leftist extremist group, like 17N used to do in the past, would have sent a letter to a newspaper claiming that they did it for the usual false reasons. To remind you that after Papandreou came in power the Burgas Alexandroupoli project did not move forward.
Now if you believe that Papandreou would cooperate with Russians you can believe anything.
However this a dangerous game and you don't know what it will happen once the dices are cast. I really don't know if this thing is good for Greece and if there is a hidden agenda behind it that it will make us regret it later.
