...i am waiting to see who will feel the same anxiety as Greeks, Cypriots, Egyptians, Syrians, Kurds, Alevi, and others, already too many to mention. After all, what does Turkey, or at least Erdogan's Turkey do?

...but use force.

Moscow, Turkey and China, if the EU does not step up, what of the Balkans, (that which surrounds Greece); (what of the Turkish Army) more, "safe zones"?

The UAE has sent four f-16's to Crete to partake in joint military drills with Greece and France in the med sea.

Turkey is now being labelled as the worlds loose cannon by some pundits and is more isolated than ever.

Other opinion pieces published in US media are urging the administration to rethink their policy on Turkey.

Before, a milder tone was being used, regarding Turkey as a frenemy, now it is starting to be reclassified as not an ally.

Welcome to the UAE Airforce.

Got a lot of time for the UAE. One of the best countries in the world.

I hope Greece and Cyprus become very close to that wonderful country.

...worth watching, if you are interested in the broader picture: beyond the result of potential hostility of Naval forces in the East Med (and/or the Aegean), and it is a War of all their Military Armed Forces.

...what is the Treaty of Sevres, it is a History of Armenia in part, it is the method used to put right, the wrongs they suffered, turning against the Ottomans in joining to fight against Germany, suffering a continuing genocide as a result.

...Iraq, Syria, (also Armenia,) even Israel, along with Sevres, do not exist in the "Turkish" mind, having tossed it, and Lausanne, to the "wastebin of History"; something to think about.

...Azerbaijan, is another front where Turkey is building support, not unlike Libya's surprise to the rest of us; just saying.

Biden will keep Turkey at an arms length and hold Greece much closer. Trump is constantly bought by Turkey because of his business dealings in Turkey. Trump would sell his mother to Turkey let alone American interests. Trump is corrupt as they come.

...who are natural allies would gather along with Biden to the fore, because this is not Greece's fight against Turkey, alone; and it would not be their first experience, if he were to lead, in effect.

...a lot depends on the American People, who, or what, they will vote for soon; this much is true.

...a lot depends on the EU, this is after-all a test on their capacity to defend their Sovereign position, physically, and as an Identity.

...a lot depends on Erdogan, because he is a wily fellow, and he may change intentions right around, for a lasting Legacy, to betray the "Turks", rather than those not "Turkish".

He is a loose cannon and he has created a parallel police force,

Some of the opposition in Turkey are saying how dangerous this is. This is what Hitler and the Nazi party did with the Waffen-SS.

Erdogollum has taken a couple of ideas out of Mein Kampf so far, if you also include the staged coup so he could usurp power and eliminate any opposition.

It’s the opposite. Democrats and Obiden have always traditionally been supporters of Turkey.

It’s always the GOP that have made calls to restrict the sale of arms to Turkey. They were also first to do this with the F-35.

And it’s always the GOP that have pushed to lift arms embargoes against Cyprus.

Why? I don’t know. Maybe it’s due to the Israeli lobbies. Cyprus is very close to Israel these days. Maybe it’s because GOP is more conservative and has more support from its Christian base.

Mitsotakis and Trump also have a good rapport and Trump actually wants Greece to replace Turkey as an F-35 partner.

I have heard many things about his business dealings. But we have heard many things about lots of things. All of them have been false.

BTW, the Trump twin towers in Istanbul, were completed years ago. Trump doesn’t need Erdogan for anything pertaining to his business operation there. Also, as POTUS, he is no longer a part of his business. He isn’t allowed to.

Obiden can never be trusted. Never forget he, with a Hillary and Obarma were in power and in those days they did nothing for Greece or Cyprus. Nothing.

Now we have a POTUS which is outside of the norm and has done something for Greece and Cyprus. This is the first POTUS I can ever remember to have done something.
