And yet, Greece recovered to become a leading economy in the region. The propaganda is strong on the airwaves these days, just like in the US, one shouldn’t react to “facts” taken out of context.

It seems (from here), support for Russia is somehow magically going down as Russia’s economy is having trouble paying for its “support” abroad.



In which region is Greece a leading economy?


In a region composed of Greece, North Macedonia and Cyprus.


Doesn't sound right https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_in_...

Cyprus ranks 17th and Greece 32nd


> to become a leading economy in the region.

Leading compared to what, Romania and North Macedonia?

> support for Russia is somehow magically going down

I don't think support for Russia was ever notably involved in the whole clusterfuck regarding the Greek economy.


I'm not quite sure about that. Romania is bigger because it has a bigger population, but look even at this GDP per capita comparison with Romania.

    Greece: 31695 (2008), 25756 (2025), 31014 (2030, projected)
   Romania: 10435 (2008), 21421 (2025), 28809 (2030, projected)
It won't be until 2030 that Greece will recover, and I'm pretty sure it's slow growth is because of its huge debt because of the euro.


> And yet, Greece recovered to become a leading economy in the region

I don't think that's true ... growth is good, but that's because there's a lot of catching up to do. If I remember correctly (and maybe I don't) then real GDP is still like -20% vs 2007, debt is EU-leading at like 150% of GDP, unemployment remains high, and wages remain low.
