BREAKING: 🇬🇧🇮🇷 2 days as Prime Minister, and Burnham is taking the UK in to war
The New UK PM Burnham has approved the use of UK bases for US strikes on Iran, per CBS
Basically we know CAATSA sanctions are subjective and the U.S. lied to Turkiye implying that they were somehow related to technical security risks related to S400s operating alongside F35s. We now know that was bull.
@JakeSotiriadis You are forgetting or your knowledge of history is weak,as the events were initiated by your country through a military coup. It was the Greeks on the island who committed massacres against the Turks. Türkiye intervened on the island to prevent the genocide, as shown in the photo
Turkey’s FM Hakan Fidan: “The Turkish invasion was based on the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee.”
False. On the contrary, the Turkish invasion violated the Treaty.
Cyprus declared its independence from British rule in 1960. The Treaty of Guarantee said that it "recognized and guaranteed the independence, territorial integrity and security of the Republic of Cyprus." It was signed by Britain, Greece, Turkey and Cyprus.
Fourteen years later, however, Turkey violated the treaty and invaded Cyprus twice: on July 20 and on August 18, 1974. What followed was ethnic cleansing through forcible displacement.
I wrote about the historical background of the invasion and the ongoing Turkish violations against Cyprus in this 2021 article:

The skies of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
To mark the 52nd anniversary of the Cyprus Peace Operation, the Türk Yıldızları (Turkish Stars) and SOLOTÜRK - the aerobatic teams of the Turkish Air Force - took to the skies above Northern Cyprus, painting the crescent and star across the blue.
Fifty-two years after the Mehmetçik first arrived to bring peace to the island, the same flag flies overhead - a reminder of the bond between Türkiye and the Turkish Cypriot people, and of the freedom that bond secured.
SHAME ON YOU, WELCOMING THE RESULTS OF USE OF FORCE AG. THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS, MEMBER OF THE UN AND OF THE EU! TURKEY STILL OCCUPIES 37% OF ITS TERRITORY, VIOLATING UN RESOLUTIONS!
On the occasion of the Peace and Freedom Day, we extend our sincere congratulations to our Observer Member, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, and the brotherly Turkish Cypriot people. May the future bring lasting peace, prosperity, and continued progress.

Kıbrıs Türk halkının özgürlüğünü, güvenliğini ve geleceğini güvence altına alan Kıbrıs Barış Harekatı’nın 52. yıl dönümünü gurur ve coşkuyla kutluyoruz.
52 yıl önce bugün Türkiye, 1960 Garanti Antlaşması’ndan doğan hak ve yükümlülükleri doğrultusunda gerçekleştirdiği Kıbrıs Barış Harekatı'nda kahraman Mücahitlerimizle omuz omuza, yok olma tehdidiyle karşı karşıya kalmış olan Kıbrıslı Türk kardeşlerimizin can güvenliğini sağlamış; Ada’daki varlıklarını teminat altına almıştır.
Şanlı Türk Ordusu, Kıbrıs’ta yarım asrı aşkın süredir devam eden barış, huzur ve istikrarın da temelini atmıştır.

Anavatan ve Garantör Türkiye, geçmişte olduğu gibi bundan sonra da Kıbrıs Türk halkının hak ve menfaatlerini kararlılıkla savunmaya devam edecektir.

CNN will never show you this : An Israeli settler pointing a gun at a Palestinian farmer.
"This land is mine now. Get out. Never come back"
The farmer's family worked that land for generations.
The settler flew in from Eastern Europe.

Greek Cypriots rarely hear this, but the 1974 Turkish Peace Operation reshaped the region’s stability:
1️⃣ Stopped EOKA-B: Ended Nikos Sampson's fascist coup and saved Greek Cypriots from brutal internal bloodshed.
2️⃣ Restrained Advance: Türkiye secured 37% of the island to protect Turkish Cypriots, despite possessing the military capability to take the entire island in hours.
3️⃣ Population Exchange: Instead of total expulsion, a structured bilateral exchange was chosen to minimize chaos.
4️⃣ Restored Democracy: The intervention collapsed the military junta in Athens, paving the way for democracy in Greece.
History is far more nuanced than political narratives suggest.
NATO and EU Pressure Greece to Deploy Patriot Air Defense Systems to Ukraine
Greece is facing intense pressure from NATO and European Union partners to transfer Patriot air defense batteries and PAC-2 missiles to Ukraine.

If our interest is to keep a united front against Russia, we can't undermine the strategic interests of southern member states. EU ignored Greece’s existential threats from Turkey for years, yet now clutches pearls calling Athens “shameless” for protecting its own interests. You can't exercise selective "European solidarity" and then act surprised when undermined members prioritize their own survival. We need to fix the hypocrisy or watch this story repeat itself many times more.
This is an oversimplified understanding of the Greek position. Athens has remained a steady supporter of Ukraine’s sovereignty, even though Kyiv has not even condemned the Turkish invasion of Cyprus — a tragic event many Greeks view as analogous to Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
YOU HYPOCRITE, Greece has implemented since 2022 ALL EU sanctions against Russia, Turkey none! You were profiting all the way doing business (many illegal) with R. Oligarchs etc. Stop ...teaching lessons!
Imagine Turkey had done that lol. There would have been a flurry of congressional campaigns, the French would have asked Ankara to pick a side and end its “ambivalent” stance towards Russia.
When you have a confirmation bias, everything is possible
Jesse Watters: We don't need friends. If we have to burn down a few bridges with Denmark to take Greenland. We’re big boys. We dropped a-bombs on Japan and now they are our ally… America is not handcuffed by history. (2025) @Acyn
