There is a danger here that Cyprus could end up with Russian financial aid in exchange for Russian access to gas fields in Cypriot waters. I will be utterly amazed if the EUro-idiots in Brussels and Berlin are so stupid and short sighted that they allow Russia to take effective control of yet more gas, especially when that gas is currently within the territory of a European country and as things stand there is absolutely no need for it to become subject to Vladimir Putin and his penchant for turning the taps off when things don't go his way.

But then, this entire crisis is the result of EUro-stupidity anyway, so perhaps there's nothing left that is genuinely amazing or shocking.
