Problem with Cyprus is there is a great big British military base there. I don’t think Erdogan wants to mess with that.

I'd say one thing for the Brit's, they got attitude and the will to do their foreign policy, at least in the past.

As I was doing some research some time ago, I was surprised to discover that England just 1.4 times larger than Florida and yet at the beginning of WW2 it was the world's superpower! That old saying that "The sun does not sets on the British Empire" was true as they has colonies everywhere.

Now that poor place is overrun with muslims and they have been cowed into being just an ancient tourist attraction. Every time I see a picture of that huge Ferris Wheel in the middle of London, I just wistfully think to myself "How has the mighty fallen!".
