And you need to put down the beer and realize the locations in that region. Cypress is only just off the coast from Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Turkey, and not all that far from Greece either. Would be an ideal location

Cypress is a location that I might want to control if I wanted to control the countries sea contact and did not have a sea port in the area.

Like I said, just put down the beer and go to bed. Tomorrow you can look on a map of that region and see why I had POSITED my thoughts as to why Russia may wish to have any type of leverage in that region.

Sleep well and hope you don't have that much of a hangover for the rest of the holiday weekend.

Thanks for wishing me a good night’s sleep. I appreciate that. Next time you present some nutty idea that the Russians are building naval bases in Cyprus, back it up with facts rather than wishful thinking. You won’t sound like a pothead. Put down the bong and try to reassemble your brain cells.
