Amalia wrote that if diplomacy had developed differently in late 1940 or early 1941, the Soviet Union could have attacked Greece while it was fighting Italy. She argued that the German-Soviet pact did not define spheres of influence in the Balkans and that Stalin was particularly interested in Bulgaria. According to her post, on November 25, 1940, Soviet diplomat Arkady Sobolev conveyed a proposal for an alliance in Sofia. Amalia stated that the USSR offered Bulgaria military support in case of threat, support for its territorial claims in Greek areas, non-interference in its internal politics, and free grain and oil. In return, she claimed, it sought to establish naval and air bases in Varna and Burgas, while Stalin asked Hitler to recognize Bulgaria as part of the Soviet sphere of influence. Amalia argued that the Comintern, in a message signed by Georgi Dimitrov, called on the Bulgarian Communist Party to mobilize politicians and the public in favor of the proposal. She estimated that Soviet support for Bulgarian claims would require an ultimatum to Greece and, in the event of refusal, an invasion by Soviet and Bulgarian troops. In the post, Hitler prevented the agreement, warning of a potential Sovietization of Bulgaria and promising the Bulgarians the same Greek territories without war. Amalia noted that King Boris rejected the Soviet proposal and that Bulgaria joined the Axis in March 1941. #Ιστορία #ΕλληνοϊταλικόςΠόλεμος #ΣοβιετικήΈνωση (translated)
Trump said on Friday that he would work with Vladimir Putin to funnel Russian diesel into the global markets, a move that drew criticism from both parties in the US and was strongly condemned by Zelensky, as it provides Russia with more resources to continue the war. #πετρέλαιο #Οικονομία #ΜέσηΑνατολή (translated)

KatiApoZebra compared prices from 2021 to 2026, reporting an increase of 85.5% in heating oil, 76.4% in beef, 58.8% in electricity, 33.7% in dining, 31.8% in rents, 30.8% in bakery products, and 27.1% in gasoline.

Avgerinosx wondered whether Kyriakos Mitsotakis or Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was more dangerous for the Greeks. He argued that Mitsotakis chose to oppose Russia without reason, seeking to be on the "right side of history," and linked this policy to losses of 2 billion euros in tourism, a 751% increase in electricity, and a 40% increase in gasoline. He added that the US would eventually buy Russian oil, while Greece would procure more expensive LNG, resulting, according to him, in heating costs rising from 1,000 euros to 1,700–1,900 euros. He also mocked Mitsotakis's education at Harvard and referenced the Predator, concluding with an insulting remark about those who voted for him. #Τι_ψηφίσατε_ρε_μαλάκες #Μητσοτάκης #Ερντογάν #Ρεύμα (translated)
The author argued that the government was falling after the "mega agreement" between Trump and Putin for Russian oil. He described the development as vindication for Velopoulos and said it exposed the ND officials who, in his view, were obsessively pro-Ukrainian. #βελοπουλος #Ελλάδα #ελλας #ελληνικη_λυση #τραμπ #πουτιν #ουκρανια #ρωσια https://t.co/I6uoBD7Dvj #βελοπουλος #Ελλάδα #τραμπ #GR #US #RU #UA (translated)

Choricos wrote that Donald Trump, concerned about an impending defeat in the midterm elections, turned to Russia asking for oil. According to him, Vladimir Putin seemed to agree in exchange for American support for his goals in Ukraine. He added that if Trump persists in his current statements in favor of Volodymyr Zelensky's resignation and the immediate end of the war, Britain will soon follow, leaving the EU facing the burden of the situation. Choricos also described Friedrich Merz and Emmanuel Macron as dangerous for the future of Europe, accusing them of diplomatic rigidity and a warlike stance aimed, as he wrote, at maintaining their positions. #Τραμπ #Ρωσία #Ευρώπη (translated)
Nikos Apelaios II argued that Donald Trump's reference to an agreement to purchase Russian oil was a form of pressure on Ukraine to stop attacks on refineries and other infrastructure of the Russian invaders. He presented the move as a service to his friend Vladimir and claimed that Russian oil was no longer sufficient even for the Russians. He added that Ukrainians continued to strike Russian refineries, an action he endorsed, and that even Republican senators in the US had begun to react. #Ουκρανία #Ρωσία #Πετρέλαιο (translated)
