Russia is considering soon giving Greece funds based on future profits Athens would earn from shipping Russian gas to Europe as part of an extension of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline project, a Greek government official said.

“Greece better read the fine print on this deal.”
This is funny. That was my reaction. I wonder if they will read the fine print or, like a crack user, the drug (money) now is worth more than the downstream cost.

The Russians may wind up getting the Greeks to agree to this deal. Those poor Russian bastards.
