Cyprus is Turkish, after all. Turks can do whatever they want there. They can even celebrate dropping napalm on Greeks and slaughtering them.

Greek Cypriot civilians in the Turkish-occupied enclave of Kokkina in Cyprus. Mustafa Akıncı, the president of the self-styled “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” (TRNC), which is recognized only by Turkey, also participated in the celebrations.

August 1964, Turkish warplanes dropped napalm bombs on Kokkina in the Tillyria peninsula. hitting residential areas and a hospital.

Ten years later, in 1974, Turkey invaded Cyprus and has occupied almost 40 percent of the island ever since.

Should this behavior of Turkey described in this article surprise anyone?

Orthodox Christianity is always worth standing up for, especially against the Muslims.

You know . . . I can remember when most conservatives were rabidly pro-Turkish and anti-Greek and -Armenian. That was back when Armenian terrorist organizations wanted to annex eastern Turkey to the Armenian SSR, when Greek Cypriot leader Archbishop Makarios III was "the Castro of the Mediterranean," and the John Birch Society was warning of "Grecophiles" in Congress and claiming that those trenches with dead bodies in Cyprus were actually filled with Turkish victims of Commie Greek Cypriots.

Anybody besides me remember?

Financially? No

Is Turkey under Erdogan worthy of support?

Greece was once a great civilization. I respect that.

On that level, I totally agree.

Obama told us that the US is no longer a Christian Nation. Long pause, “only”

I despise what he did to the US and our allies.

Trump does not agree with Obama. The battle with Obama’s residual subversive deep state continues.

Greeks introduced the world to 2-way manual transmissions. Aren’t they historically mid-eastern?
