The financial crisis in Cyprus has geopolitical roots.

The unprecedented financial crisis in Cyprus does not have its roots in economical reasons but geopolitical. Germany (and the United States), using Eurogroup and the Eurozone as a vehicle, wants desparately to control the rich natural gas resources found in the shores of Cyprus. Control of energy resources is what is at stake. Thus Cyprus’s will and Cyprus’s political system must be under total control and the way to do this is by throwing the economy and the country in a hugh debt for the next two or three decades. Integral part of this strategy is the exclusion or minimisation of Russian influence in the island. That is why Eurogroup (i.e. Germany and the United States) insists that deposits or funds that belong to Russians must leave island. The fact that Russian businessmen prefer Cyprus as safe place to deposit their funds and run their businessess is anathema for Germany. The object is to strip Cyprus from any Russian influence and control the Cyprus economy and thus energy resources in the forthcoming years.
