After this, this (from Takis Machis in the Wall Street Journal):

As late as 1987, [new Greek foreign minister Nikos Kotzias] advocated violence and civil war as necessary means to bring about social change in the world. In recent years, Mr. Kotzias seems to have developed a deep understanding of Mr. Putin and his policies.
In his writings, Mr. Kotzias sees Russian actions in Crimea and Ukraine as the normal reactions of a superpower “encircled” by the U.S. and destabilized by Germany.
…Nor is Mr. Kotzias the only Syriza official with such a pro-Putin bent. Kostas Isichos, the new deputy defense minister, last year described EU sanctions on Russia as “neo-colonial bulimia” and saluted the “impressive counterattacks” of Russian-backed militias in eastern Ukraine. Echoing Russian propaganda, he said the Kiev government was guilty of tolerating “neo-Nazi abominations.” Last week in an interview with a Danish newspaper he denounced NATO as “not a peace-loving institution,” although he claimed that leaving NATO “is not among Greece’s first priorities.”

Whether keeping Greece in NATO should be among NATO’s priorities is a different question.

In the meantime, I hope that NATO is not sending too much sensitive security information Greece’s way.

Machis:

Friendliness toward Russia and hostility toward Western institutions is deeply ingrained in Syriza’s DNA. The party’s world view is permeated by conspiracy theories. Any criticism of its policies is perceived as perpetuating Western dominance over Greece. This came to the fore this week when Mr. Kotzias denounced on Twitter those who criticized his pro-Russia diplomacy as representing “structures of dependency” and of showing “servility” to foreign interests.

A bail-out for Syriza’s Greece? Why?
