Somalia is such a failed state. Their country is divided in 3 parts - Somalia, Somaliland and Puntland.

Same case like Georgia.

They should get massive militairy from Turkey to liberate those 2 parts and reunite Somalia again.

Well Somaliland isn't really causing any problem from what I know. But Puntland,I've no idea what their deal is. Maybe they're still warlords and Wild West stuff there.

Somaliland though existed as a State a long time ago,before the unification and then collapse of the country.

Emirati are turning out to be such a bunch of c---s..

Emirati are turning out to be such a bunch of c---s..

I don't think there is a more hated country in the muslim world. From the treachery over palestine, to their genocide in Sudan, their BS in Libya, their coups everywhere. What they are doing to Somalia, Yemen, etc. Even Kashmir now, collaborating with the Hindutwa in India.

Greek Baldy Dendias seems to be upset again. lol guy can't stop thinking about Turkiye.

What he doesn't get is that comments like his actually make Türkiye stand out more to most European countries. The opposite of being an ally isn't just being neutral; it's being an enemy. When he describes Ankara as a strong, ambitious, and ever-growing military power, he's really showing how significant and important the Turks are for Europe's safety. He's unintentionally warning Europeans not to antaganize or abandon Ankara. Does he know that? Or is he doing that subconsciously?

No,he actually shows that such ambition can be problematic to the EU and USA.

Dendias didn't say anything weird. Turkey's ambitions have become a concern for many in the region since at least 2019.

Involvement everywhere,aggressive rhetoric,backstabbing Americans,then backstabbing Russians,threatening French ships,preventing oil and gas deals that would benefit Europe,
building massive Armed Forces and not hiding the intention to establish bases around the world.

All that should alarm the current big leaders in the West and East.Not just the regional ones.

lol, the only ones who have betrayed anyone are the Greeks who betrayed Orthodox Brother Putin. lol

Turkey hasn't done anything,. Turkey is a key route for European oil and gas pipelines. Like the current Tanap and future pipelines, Especially a Qatari/Saudi pipeline through Syria to Turkey that could be connected to Europe potentially.

 

[Foinikas]

Orthodox brother Putin was offering S-400s to Turkey way earlier. Then when Turkey got them,Pskov was saying "It's a defensive system,there's no need for Greece to be concerned". Doing nothing about Hagia-Sophia,offering to build two nuclear stations in Turkey,oh no,it was brother Putin who betrayed us.

Turkey hasn't done anything,

Turkey hasn't done anything? Threatening with war if Cyprus drilled inside Cypriot government fields? Starting a fuss about the electric power cables? Turkey's the biggest bully in the region,after Israel.

Politics is about perception as much as it is about creating actual facts on the ground.

Your perspective on Türkiye is influenced by your Greek viewpoint, which isn't an accusation but a fair observation. This is understandable.

Look, in many parts of Europe - even in those that tend to be crtical of the Turks - ordinary people let alone decision makers who hold power recognize that a country as large and significant as Türkiye cannot be antagonized, especially now with its increasing technological advancements, production capabilities, and military strength.

The Greek perspective is quite isolated; European leaders only consider your opinion because the EU framework allows you to essentially block the entire Union.

For instance, Libya, Italy, and Türkiye are convening in Istanbul to talk about migration, economic collaboration, and other regional issues.

These three nations are literally your Western, Southern, and Eastern neighbors coming together to make decisions on matters that are crucial for Athens, yet you are completely left out.

The irony is that Greece has publicly stated its intention to diplomatically isolate Türkiye in Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. This was a goal of the Greek Foreign Ministry, and it not only backfired but resulted in Greece's own isolation.

For goodness' sake, even the French have betrayed you by approving the sale of Meteor missiles to Türkiye.

You don't understand how much your politicians failed.

Yes,our foreign policy is almost non-existant and it's as if the ND government gave up trying to fix the country after the 2023 victory,everything is going down(internally too)and people are frustrated about it.

Our foreign policy has proven short-sighted. Even in the early 2000s we had a better foreign policy than now. If we exclude the 2009-2019 period of the econimic crisis,the New Democracy government made good steps in 2020-2022,then after Erdogan toned it down a bit in early 2023 and especially after New Democracy's victory that summer,it's as if they abandoned everything. Suddenly,who's Haftar,where's Syria,what's Palestine,forget the French,let's go with the Americans,what's with Egypt.
Our foreign policy has been short-sighted. Backin Assad's Syria was in our favor. But the governments here,wanted to be "on the good side of history",meaning far away from Russia,Iran and controversial figures such as Assad,all this to please the EU and the Americans.

For goodness' sake, even the French have betrayed you by approving the sale of Meteor missiles to Türkiye.

They couldn't do otherwise,they couldn't. The decision was British. There must have been a lot of pressure on the French by them and the Germans.

You don't understand how much your politicians failed.

I do,that's why everyone in Greek defence sites is frustrated and makes fun of the situation.
