Ze Russians are back...now with money

The tiny ice-clad island of Iceland hit the news again with their tragic and unprecedented claim for a near economic downfall. The rescue didn't come from US or EU, their NATO big brothers, but Russia in the form of a $5.4 billion bailout credit, which is roughly a third of Iceland's GDP.

The handshake that shook the world

Russians are not foreigners in Reykjavik which hosted the historical summit between then-US president Reagan and USSR general secretary Gorbachev about the reductions in the respective nuclear arsenals. Although the summit ended in failure at the very end but was a highlight event through the second half of 80s and led to the dissolution of Soviet Union.

Gorbachev: We will come and buy out this island in 20 years.

Reagan: Yeah right...

So the sick and curious mind of Turkish Invasion thinks that it can be a reprisal attack by the oil-rich post-Soviet ruling elite to buy out Iceland (or at least a part of it) just like Adolf Hitler did to force the French to sign armistice in the same railcar in which they themselves forced the Germans 20 years ago.

The new Russian banyas will be built on Icelandic geysers

By the way, Iceland is a NATO country and Russia by giving a bailout would have the right to ask for a strong naval base on the top of Atlantic...which is actually the sole reason for the membership of Iceland to NATO after all...
