And assuming this is true, what makes you think Putin's regime will fall before Greece or UK or Portugal? Greece is on the very edge of the cliff. If Greece leaves the Euro/EU, it isn't going to be as 'contained' as european leaders are making it to be, since Portugal will probably be targeted next, and while on paper seems Portugal is doing better, it isn't really (Gov. is doing everything it can to show Portugal doing well, unf. at a GREAT weight for the populace. Just heard on the news this weekend, the food bank is doing a campaign to feed about 400.000 people that are malnourished. This is around 4% of the population. I know there are many other countries that have more poor people, but as in Greece, when you see your gov. paying money to ECB/IMF and your people is starving, at one point they will break (as they did when they elected Syriza)

As for the UK, I can't really say. I think the referendum in 2017 will end with a "stay" vote, but it will depend a lot on Greece's situation and how France/Germany deal with the UK issues regarding the EU in 2016.
