Greeks kicked Mussolini’s ass in WWII.
This virus might bring nationalism back in an even bigger way.
when you don’t know who the hell is in your country it’s hard to track their health
“I guess they should remember the example set by the 300 Spartans. It sort of worked before.”
The battle of Salamis would be better.
The Greeks lost at Thermopylae and the king of Sparta was killed.
At Salamis the Greek fleet destroyed a much larger Persian fleet causing Xerxes to withdraw the bulk of his army to Asia.
Good point. Made me smile.
The Turks would be gone before the Greeks could pass an ordinance.
From what I’m seeing the assistance might be from Bulgaria, Romania and Poland. The same cast of characters that fought 2 Balkan Wars against the Turks prior to WW1. History doesn’t repeat exactly, but it does rhyme.
Posting 10 days after occurrence about a picture of an action taken by Turkey against Greece which hasn’t been media reported without including the picture could be considered fake news
...one of the "HIZIR / ATES" type vehicles with daytime and nighttime border surveillance vehicles, which Turkey received from May to August 2019, financed by a program for which 75% were paid for the EU.
Thanks for the link, Wuli. And for the perspective. I would hope it isn’t true but with everything going on in the world right now, one never knows for sure.
Does not really matter what Turkey does, what matters is what the Greeks are willing to do to maintain their county’s sovereignty. Fight for it or surrender to Turkey.
That’s because there are no Greek media on site to do reporting. What opinion? Who reported accurate news for Syria complete with interviews of participants and field footage for years while mainstream media cited one-man Al-Qaeda ‘observatory for human rights’ in London.
Which proved to be a lie and propaganda?
My perspective to international “journalism” is never trust anyone - especially to include something just ‘cause it “sounds right”, and always verify.
You would think the story, if verifiable, since in concerns Greece, would have original “Greek media” sources somewhere. But it doesn’t.
When you find that, an investigator/investigation then leads to the posting website itself - who are they, where do they call home, and what is their posting history.
I find using bad sources is like telling a false hood when trying to make a point. The point may actually be a good point but the argument for it using a falsehood is no better than a false cause for the point - it ruins an otherwise good argument. Why? Because the opponent can demonstrate the falsehood, and focus on it as evidence the argument is bad.
I’d like to see Erdogan’s Turkey out of NATO. I am not going to share falsehoods to make my point, just ‘cause it “sounds like” the behavior I’d expect from Erdogan.
There is no provenance for the images. Just the say of SouthFront.Org, and no one else. The other websites with the same report are either linked with SouthFront or were passing the report reported by SouthFront. Of course the Greeks were on the Greek side of the border and of course if it happened as SouthFront says it did it would have gotten from them to the Greek Media.
Go and look at my link reporting who is SouthFront.
It’s clear from who SouthFront is - compared to who they claim to be - that “SouthFront” does not refer to a “southern front” with respect to the EU. It’s more accurate rationale for its choice of a name is for the “southern front” of Russian interests.
If it happened this was covered up by media coverage otherwise there would have been several postings here.
