Does anyone here know why this is not an act of war? Is it because Greece is part of the EU that they are not allowed to declare war to defend themselves?

Send a couple of anti tank missiles to end that stunt.

How Turkey is considered a part of NATO (an orginazition that the U.S. needs to leave and restructure) is beyond me. We need to get our military out stat.

If they are illegal aliens rushing the border they are NOT migrants.

They are invaders. Jihad by migrations.

Sounds like between the virus and Turkey acting up, Greece has decided that their experiment in being ‘woke’ has pretty much run its course.

That really seems like a casus belli to me. I don't know how it could be seen any differently.

Erdy is busy rebuilding the Caliphate. Tanks in Greece and Syria, special forces and jihadists and Libya.
Something stinks to high heaven and nobody says a word to object. More so, NATO is thi king out how to protect the Turks from the Syrian military (in Syria).
It is just crazy and nobody pays attention.

The Greek military is about 40-50% of the size of Turkey’s. It is tough to declare war against a much larger opponent.

“why this is not an act of war?”

The most likely alibi is that this was not official National policy, but rather the misguided unauthorized actions of a few individuals - perhaps even criminal acts.

The most likely cover would be an endless”investigation” of some kind, with a bunch of Diplomatic happy talk.

In the mean time, the underlying messaging is that Turkey is pushing Greece around like a bully, under the assumption that they dare not fight back.

Has the EU told the Greeks to stand down yet?

Full disclosure. I can’t stand Erdogan and would like to see Turkey under Erdogan booted out of NATO.

That does not make me believe anything printed as negative to Erdogan just ‘cause it “fits” what I think and suspect of him.

The story is possible Russian Fake news or a repeat of previous unconfirmed reports.

https://euvsdisinfo.eu/south-front-russia-hiding-being-russian/

The images presented cannot be confirmed as representing what is “reported”. And all references that can be found regarding the sources as the “Greek media” are NOT from any “Greek media” but merely other reports duplicating the same unsourced “Geek media” reference.

Is it POSSIBLE there is some truth to the report, but no one presents it.

Has there ever been a period when the Turks and Greeks were not fighting?

If I were Greece I would ask NATO/EU for help as I am being attacked. Put the Brussels NATO and EU bureaucracy rear end in a sling. Then I would use anti-tank weapons on the Turks and knock the hell out of them.

I assume the fence is on sovereign Greek territory yes?

Hit the vehicle with an anti-tank missile.

Let’s just add a war on top of everything else, let’s just get it all over with.

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

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.
