Today (May 12), Dimitri Lascaris gained access to a private conference held in
Athens, Greece for the purpose of promoting deeper ties between Israel, Greece
and Cyprus.

The speakers included Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister, Israel's Ambassador to
Greece, the Chairman of Israel Shipyards, Greece's Minister of Tourism and
Greece's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Their speeches left no doubt that the Israeli, Greek and Cypriot governments are
strongly committed to the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), and
that they view the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as a splendid marketing
opportunity for IMEC.

In this report, Dimitri discusses what happened at the conference and highlights
the speech of Chen Herzog, the Chief Economist of BDO Consulting Israel. In his
speech, Herzog argued that the oil and gas crisis is about to become
"unmanageable" and that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz proves how essential
IMEC has become.

Excellent post. Ta. Wtf is Greece doing?..

For that matter, India is wrecking BRICS.

Israel has ambitions against Turkey, seeing them as the next adversary, in Syria and elsewhere. Greece is naturally aligning against Turkey, so that sort of explains it.

The next few episodes of R2R will be interesting as Laskaris unravels this unhealthy relationship with the zionazi local hegemon.

Meanwhile, Erdogan continues to allow 40% (as of 2024) of Israel's oil via the Baku pipeline

Whoever vetted Dimitri is going to get a severe roasting and will prolly be replaced by some Israeli AI.

I admit that I haven't followed Greek politics since the Syriza debacle when Tsipras bent over to the EU technocrats.
