“Right - like the Russian economy is so great they can afford it ...????”
Maybe not, but it’s a matter of PRIORITIES. Even with the economic mess in Russia, their military buildup is continuing, NON-STOP (50 new ICBMs this year, for starters). If they want to help Grease, they will find the money.
People may suffer there, somewhat, but if they dish out money to deadbeats anything close to what we do, then there is a LOT OF ROOM to cut back on spending without hurting anyone...more likely helping people, by getting them off their butts.
Maybe Greece could sell the Russians an Island or a Naval Base? they need one in that part of the world. A Russian Base might deture Turkey from moving against Greece.
