The Icelandic President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson was widely reported this week as having shocked senior diplomats at a luncheon in Reykjavik by lambasting Denmark, Sweden and particularly Britain for their lack of support in Iceland's deep economic crisis.
One report claimed that he had gone on to say that Iceland would have to find new friends and he had offered Russia the use of the Keflavik military base - an offer the Russian ambassador politely declined.
