Your best post ever. Beautiful. Touching in a way. I'm certain many tc's will applaud you for this.


Pity these TCs didn't "applaud" but instead relentlessly attacked us for wanting freedom and democracy for Cyprus. Instead, they followed only their own views and brought us barbarians and followers of Erdogan.

Does anyone else get the impression that the world is gradually regressing into totalitarianist rulers while the corrupt UN/EU/US just look on? :?

Well that's the problem with you Paphitis.
You get fixations, and form views based on nothing.
You said you use hundreds of sources...
If that's true, then how come it only took me 5 minutes to find this from the Washington Post explaining all details about it??

a)The new missiles are not ballistic they are cruise missiles flying at low altitude and as such difficult to trace
b)They follow an unpredictable path.
c)But the biggest news is....
THE US IS ALREADY UNABLE TO DEFEND ITSELF FROM EXISTING RUSSIAN MISSILES, imagine if the claims about the new ones are true.,.

Yes totalitarianism is on the rise.

So is MIGHT = RIGHT.

There is NOTHING the UN can do about it. There is also NOTHING the US and its allies can do about it. Unless you want war all the time, we can't tell everyone what to do. US isn't the worlds cop either.

Totalitarianism is on the rise, with China and Russia among it all front and center.

China for instance is trying to steal everyone's EEZ of virtually all its neighbors and thumbing its nose at the UN and UNCLOS. Sound Familiar. Turkey is doing the same.

Yes, tv in Greece is generally crap, just like its crap in Cyprus, and Australia as well.

having said that, Greek TV has TV Channels like MAD TV and Blue TV. These are 24 houir Greek Music Channels. I could have that on in the background all day no problem.

But I really don't go to Greece to watch TV. Man, if you watch a lot of TV in Greece, you got big problems.

Oh boy!

The USA has never claimed that it is able to intercept every single Russian Missile. It is however more capable of intercepting more Russian Missiles than the Russians are of Intercepting American Cruise or ICBM Missiles. Only 1 Tomohawk Missile missed its target when it was launched into Syria and it is believed that the Americans destroyed it.

It is impossible to destroy every single inbound missile. No one has such an Air Defence System.

But no one has a missile that is 100% indestructible from Air defense.

The Russian Claims are nonsense. first of all, if you have such a capability and it is that far ahead of anything the Americans have, you do not talk about it let alone make a speech about it. Pootin just wanted Trump to say something like his Nuclear Button is bigger than Russia's, something he did not do like he did when responding to North Korea.

The Americans are not stupid is what I am saying.

And the fact that Russia has made such a boast, means that he does not have such a technology. And if he did, we would know about it almost immediately. A Cruise Missile is a missile with a range of about 3000 to 4000 kms. Air Defence only needs to be Short to medium range and its much easier to build a Missile at medium range traveling at hyper speeds than it is to build a Cruise missile or ICBM. First of all, it wouldn't carry enough fuel for the range.

And if the Russians have a new propulsion system, it would be known to the West as well. Yes we have Nuclear Scientists in the West and you want to know the funniest thing of all - we have a lot of Russia's Scientists working for us. People who walked into one of our embassies and asked for asylum. We are literally full of Russians.

It's bullshit! The Washington Post is just commenting on Pootin's speech. Some of what is o that article is fine but most of it is fantasy.

You never worry about the country that makes speeches like pootin. The countries to worry about are the quiet ones and I will give you some examples of countries that are so quiet about their capabilities and pack a massive punch and that an make Pootin's life a total misery. They are France, Australia, Japan, UK, South Korea, and Israel.

As I told you. Pootin has a major complex. he knows that his capability is inferior by a considerable margin. The West knows he is inferior but we also know he is dangerous and we also know he can do a lot of damage to us and our military. he isn't weak by any means, but his military isn't comparable to the US and its major allies. that is a fact. If there is a war, it is very likely he would lose. His Navy would get wiped out in days. His Air Force would be destroyed. His only chance is a massive land invasion of Europe, or start launching his ICBMs and nuke us all.

So he makes speeches like this. The kind of speech you will never hear from the US or any of its allies.

Reh malaka! The Soviet Union was a catalyst. You got to take ALL my posts into context as one leads to the other. I don't need to explain everything in detail to people bereft of common sense.

I have made dozens of posts claiming that the Soviet Union was for years sowing its seed through the Non-alligned movement and with the Cyprus AKEL party just so that one day it can spark a situation which would impact on Turkey, Greece and most of all upon NATO's Southern Flank. This is what the Americans feared and this is one of the reason's why Kissinger did what he could to instigate a Coup against Makarios through The Greek junta and move towards double union even with Greece and Turkey. The Americans did not want Russian bases in Cyprus and when the RoC did not allow them a base, it was all on as far as they were concerned.

I said many times that Cyprus was a pawn in a far greater struggle between the 2 powers and Cyprus fell on the wrong side of the fence thinking nothing bad would happen to them.

America prevented a war between Greece and Turkey and it punished Cyprus. The Russians wanted this war between Greece and Turkey. And in 2018, nothing has changed.

The Americans are not stupid. neither are the Russians. Both were playing in a high stakes Cold War. A war which involved possible Nuclear Annihilation and Mutually Assured Destruction. Both new that Cyprus could be the reason for war between 2 NATO allies.

Both new Cyprus had the affliction of 2 motherlands - Greece and Turkey and both used it to suit their agendas. And they will do it again too. make no mistake about that.

No one knows exactly what America's or Russia's role in the Cyprus EEZ is but when it comes to Resources anything is friggin possible.


"No one knows exactly what America's or Russia's role in the Cyprus EEZ is............"

Exactly ..... so any one that guesses is just speculating and your views are just that, your views. But, by the way you present them you make it sound as if all the World is on your side and agrees with you ......... and most thinking people do not! Time and time again your theories do not work out. Some predictions you have been correct on, like the US illegally remaining in Syria indefinitely but that could be predicted because it would be their normal 'Modus Operandi'

95%+ of the population could not give a toss about Syria, Palestine, Ukraine etc., in fact go to the US and you would be pushed to find an American that could find them on a map! So yes you a right you are in step with the 95% because the only place they get their news is from the MSM ....... and ALL of those news outlets are controlled. In short they tell you what others want you to know, commonly referred to as propaganda.

Why do you think 'they' are trying to control the internet? To stop 'fake news'? Exactly the opposite, as the last thing they want is the dumb ass majority actually taking an interest in what is happening and referring to others sources. There is a minority of people like me, but I am not alone, that DO take an interest and they see the other side of the story that you never do.

Yes you are correct, you are in step with the majority and the majority are more interested in Kim Kardashions arse and the latest must have APP, than the children in Syria and what is really going on on the ground. It will be like Aleppo, when its all over your MSM will walk away and NEVER tell you the real stories as they emerge from the rubble.

You are sadly delusional. :roll:

Yes the world is on our side. The world voted with its feet in the UN and so many countries have sent material support in the Coalition's fight with ISIL in Syria.

A war which I will remind everyone, we have virtually won very resoundingly throughout Iraq and in all areas which ISIL occupied in Syria.

There was no assistance from either Syria or Russia. Nor would the Coalition accept any assistance from Syria because we can not cooperate militarily with this rogue state.

The only time the Russians fought with ISIL, was in Palmyra. We have liberated all of ISIL held lands in Syria.

As for the Cyprus EEZ. The Americans are sending in a naval Fleet to assist EXXON with its drilling operations and to discourage Turkey from interfering. The Americans want the Gas to be pumped from Cyprus to Europe. That is a fact.

If anyone doesn't want the Gas to be pumped, then that is certainly Turkey. And behind Turkey could be Russia because the Russians want to interfere with the EU's Gas supplies and sell its own.

And no, 95% do not give a fuck about Kim Kardashian. Maybe a big percentage of teenagers but so many teenagers are politically astute too.

The same thing is evident in Europe and Russia. Young people are more interested in their Netflix and Hulu TV, MTV Rock Music and Heavy Metal, but so many also read the papers, get their news from the internet and go to University to better themselves all over the world. And yes, young people are quite vain but they also have a lot of growing to do. They are not an old fart like you, so yes they take a look at the lighter things of this world such as kim kardashian's arse as well. IDIOT!

And no we do not control the internet at all. The internet in the West is completely free. Everyone is free to do whatever they like. We don't block out any websites like the Chinese, Russians and North Koreans do.

Our societies are free, but within reason. You can't for instance be hosting sites on how to kill someone, commit suicide, watch kiddy porn or have tutorials on how to make bombs. that would be breaking the law, and the authorities will catch up with such criminals eventually.
