Celebrating with the Turks that Cyprus' main ally is struggling?


I am sure it is just YiaLoser's stupidity that has left him and I, well, quite dumbfounded! :lol:

We are celebrating YiaLoser's bankrupt wit! :D


Why don't you take care of those who are kicking Greece and Cyprus whilst they are both as vulnerable as they could be! One with half its territory under frigging Turks and the other about to lose its power to protect its borders!


You are exaggerating. Greece is still able to protect its borders. You are talking about one of the largest and better equipped Armed Forces in NATO and the EU. There are stockpiles upon stockpiles of weapons and some of the equipment would still be the envy of many countries.

But defense expenditure will take a battering as well as every other sector, including social security spending, health, education and infrastructure expenditure.

Its not the end of the world. Just an opportunity to really fix Greece from the ground up. This was always needed.

Cheer up! :)

Greece is currently contributing only 15 troops to NATO’s mission in Afghanistan, as against 165 from Macedonia – a non-member with one fifth of Greece’s population; 175 from Georgia; 255 from Albania; 295 from Croatia; 540 from Bulgaria; 945 from Romania; and 1,755 from Turkey. It would appear that those Balkan countries that were on the wrong side in the Cold War are somewhat readier to contribute to the Western alliance’s military efforts today than Greece, the only Balkan Christian country which enjoyed NATO protection during the Cold War.

And Greece is one of the largest recipients of EU funding - they topped the list in 2008 ahead of even Poland.


As a member of NATO, Greece has spent Billions in new armaments to bolster NATO and EU defenses.

Greece is not obligated to offer any assistance in Afghanistan! They have more than enough to deal with in the Aegean. How nice of you to forget that Greece intercepts over 4,500 Turkish Air Force violations within the Athens FIR and Greek National Airspace every year, and this endangers civilian lives including your own every time you fly through Athens FIR to just about any European destination.
