As Russia Wants US to leave southern Syria, Turkey threatens to invade Greece
| Most of the areas within modern Greece's current borders were under the occupation of the Ottoman Empire from the mid-15th century until the Greek War of Independence in 1821 and the establishment of the modern Greek state in 1832. The islands, however, like the rest of Greece, are legally and historically Greek, as their names indicate.
Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), however, and even much of the opposition seem intent on, if not obsessed with,
| invading and conquering these Greek islands, on the grounds that they are actually Turkish territory.
In December, for instance, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of the main Turkish opposition CHP party, stated that when he wins the election in 2019, he will "invade and take over 18 Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, just as former Turkish PM Bulent Ecevit invaded Cyprus in 1974." He said that there is "no document" proving that those islands belong to Greece.
| Meral Akşener, the head of the newly established opposition "Good Party," has also called for an invasion and conquest of the islands. "What is required must be done," she tweeted on January 13.
The most garish muscle-flexing has come from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of course, who seems emboldened by his military invasion of the Afrin region in northern Syria having gone virtually unchallenged.

| I don't like racism but those Turkish leaders are cockroaches.
| Call of crusade
| The Kebab shall rise again

| Greece should probably try to sell those islands to Turkey to help with all that national debt.
| MONO LABE!
| Funfact: Greece has invested most into its military in Europe (relative to their size).
I knew it that Afrin is just the beginning. Nice work, global capitalism: people building walls all over the world and increasing armory as preparation for World War 3. World becomes more and more like in presovietic times. Really well done you neoliberal assholes and your twisted interpretation of „freedom“.

This, globalism sucks. If anti-globalist right-wing parties won all over the world, we wouldn't be in such shit.
Modern left is globalist, so it must be defeated.

Youre wrong. Globalization (globalism does not exist) is driven by capitalists which just represent a higher level of right-winged people. Nationalism is just to fool the masses about the big global operating profiteers.
They also fooled the left long time with a fancy, shin, yet dropping masquerade of egality and liberty on the surface.
The only truely left concept and answer to globalization is internationalism. Accept it, you misled, lowbrained douche! Please!
| Wow Civ 7 sounds really intense.

Do you know which country has the biggest national debt of all in the World? And when I say big, it really means bloody big!

Internationalism is a delusion. Not all nations are equally developed and educated. Most of people on the Earth are poor and low educated. Developed countries can't just accept all of them all of sudden, they'll just ruin our civilized world. Such thing already happened with Roman Empire, and i don't think we need some new Dark Ages.

Don't you see the strange coincidence that our "developed countries" always relied much on resources from the lesser developed countries?
No you just don't see it. Our so called "civilized" and "developed" world is just a hypocritical island build on the costs of others. But strangely it somehow fills me with hope, that people need to lie so hard to themselves to get sleep. Because it means they care somehow. Even thought in the end it may be only for their own salvation.

Plus Internationalism is a much more civilized concept than nationalism which always will lead to barbarism, even if it comes with a "civilized" and technological "developed" masquerade.

| In an incident that took place less than two weeks after the Greek Defense Ministry announced that Turkey had violated Greek airspace 138 times in a single day, a Turkish coast guard patrol boat on February 13 rammed a Greek coast guard vessel off the shore of Imia, one of many Greek islands over which Turkey claims sovereignty.
