It would be nice to imagine a return of Ionia to Greece and the re-establishment of Christianity in the Hagia Sophia, but Greece has been wallowing in decadence since the fall of Athens in 404 B.C. and can't be trusted.
Among the ruins of the Parthenon, my Greek guide decried the plundering of Greek antiquities by the Western Nations (e.g. the Elgin Marbles). She wasn't pleased when I remarked that I wish they had gotten the Victory of Samothrace before her head and arms got knocked off and the Venus de Milo before she lost her arms.
Unavoidably true.

Unfortunately, true.
The Greeks are the ones that can, and have to, fix this if it is to be fixed. I posted the following to grania regarding "Friends" of Greece:
"While I dismiss all Europeans equally, I objectively see Greeks as worthwhile, and in a utopian world, new friends would be great, but what Greece needs are Greek Interests, not Greek Friends."
"And this applies to Greeks themselves, internally, they need to promote Greek Interests, what better way to bring Greece back and piss off the Euro Globalist "Friends" Greece has now?"
