you ahve an attention span deficit. you are blinded by your hatred and stupidity combined. there is not one democracy fit all in the world, there is quite a few choices. half the world is not on a one man one vote initary state democracy and it works fine unless your are as stupid as you in which case you are too stupid to form a federalt state with.

State Department need not be at odds with itself on Republic of Cyprus policy
https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog ... -itself-on


...while this discussion is about arms, i would like to remind the readers, that only in Cyprus is there the happy coincidence that Russia and the USA, indeed the whole world except Turkey, agree, that Cyprus should exist, and that Cypriots should have Liberty, and be Free.

Cyprus, where it buys its weapons from should not be a critical element of these efforts, I think. Indeed, Cyprus is a strategic partner quite unique to the USA because of its relationship with Russia and in its location; a tiny island, a population comparatively small, very small: very skilled as facilitators of exchange, the crossroad to three continents.

Normalising relations is overdue, much has changed since the idea of imposing such a sanction seemed to make sense. But, it is Cyprus that is in the line of Turkey's fire with her newly to be acquired S-400s, (it shoots down what Patriots do not,) aimed southward: against "us", those of us not "Turkish". Let's not forget that while Cyprus, its EEZ, and Greece are the source of this attention, it is not Russia which has taken to claiming, everything, on and under this sea as their exclusive domain. And it is not them who expect the rest of the world to "toss out a window", the Treaty of Lausanne. Such a disruption of the balance of power is not supported by Russia either, because without Cyprus, Turkey would have supremacy of the Eastern Mediterranean, and, as a result, it would be, except for Turkey, a far less safer place. Russia, nor Cyprus are the threat in this scenario, but Erdogan's Turkey is.

Cyprus is a country "non-aligned". It is also a part of Europe, and a member of the EU. It in the past few years, despite the Financial crisis it suffered, has demonstrated the capacity to organise and lead. Witness the progress that has evolved into the Eastern Mediterranean Energy Forum. Who could have imagined that in 2.5 short years, Palestinians, sitting as members among the many members, with Israel? In a region with so many problems, this is Hope.

Good post.

I'm not sure why Turkey would point S400s (an anti-aircraft missile?) towards the ROC though.

They are pointed at anyone who might try to prevent Turkeys illegal drilling in the med with the military option.

But the ROC doesn't have an airforce. I'm sure it's me but - I don't get it. :?

I don’t think the S-400s will be able to detect and stop a French made Exocet missiles fired from a fighter jet 100 miles away aiming at the drill ship’s mid section 10 feet below the waterline. Next stop for the drill ship would be the bottom of the sea. The good news is, it will be much closer to where the gas might be. :D
