Η Τουρκία αισθάνεται ως απειλή την οποιαδήποτε παρέμβαση στη Συρία.
Είναι το ίδιο ακριβώς μοτίβο: αισθάνεται απειλή εάν η Ελλάδα επεκτείνει νομίμως στα 12 ν.μ., αισθάνεται απειλή εάν η Κύπρος απαλλαγεί από τα στρατεύματα κατοχής, αισθάνεται απειλή όταν η Ελλάδα εξοπλίζεται ενώ η Τουρκία διαθέτει την Στρατιά Αιγαίου και γενικότερα η Τουρκία ερμηνεύει ως απειλή τα πάντα γύρω της!
Αντιθέτως η Τουρκία δεν θεωρεί ως απειλή όποτε:
▫️εξοπλίζεται εναντίον της Ελλάδας και της Κύπρου.
▫️αποκτά βαλλιστικό οπλοστάσιο.
▫️παραβιάζει την κυριαρχία της Ελλάδας μέσω των αερομαχητικών.
▫️εγκαθιστά στρατό σε Λιβύη, κατεχόμενα και συνάπτει συμφωνίες με Σκόπια και Αλβανία.
Σε όλα αυτά η Τουρκία θεωρεί πως δεν απειλεί κανέναν.
Η Τουρκία είναι μακράν το πιο προβλέψιμο κράτος του κόσμου, καθώς ότι λέει ισχύει το αντίθετο και επίσης ότι λέει το πράττει.
Δεν είναι δύσκολο να ερμηνεύσεις την Τουρκία. Αρκεί βασικά να ξέρεις ιστορία.
A Turkish F-16 presence in the occupied north of Cyprus would not be defence.
It would be combat air power laundered through occupation.
Ankara is repeating the Somalia model.
A crisis becomes a pretext.
The pretext becomes a permanent military position.
The Turkish occupation of Cyprus is also a matter of Israeli national security.¹
Cyprus lies within the same strategic theatre: air corridors, sea lanes, energy routes, intelligence geometry, and British bases already under fire.
Jerusalem understands the map and is already acting to prevent such a deployment.
If Ankara chooses to militarise the occupied north, it should not assume the map will remain frozen.
Israel could stand with Greece and Cyprus in a future move to liberate the north - Poseidon's Wrath.
The Iskenderun episode proved nothing.
It was framed as proof that Turkey too was under Iranian attack.
Then officials briefed that the missile had likely been heading towards Cyprus.
The story shifted because the purpose was never clarity.
It was strategic positioning.
The strategic reality did not move: Turkey is not part of the pressure on Iran. It is part of the system that keeps Iran viable.²
Ankara gives Tehran what matters most in war: political cover, operational space, and time.
Iran remains the urgent threat.
Turkey remains the tolerated one.
Ankara does not need Iran to win. It needs the regime to endure.
Iran is useful to Ankara precisely because it is never resolved.
This is not alliance discipline.
It is strategic parasitism from within the alliance.³
The guarantor fiction has collapsed - for both Ankara and London.⁴
A guarantor does not occupy the state it claims to protect.
Turkey destroyed the constitutional order it pledged to defend and converted invasion into permanent leverage.
Britain had authority, capacity, and duty in 1974. It chose inaction.
London retained sovereign bases on Cypriot soil. Sovereignty without resolve is not a guarantee.
When those bases draw fire and hesitation follows, the question answers itself: what purpose do they still serve beyond exposing Cyprus and advertising British drift?
The F-16 issue is clearer still.
American aircraft were not supplied to entrench occupation or project coercive air power from seized territory.
If Turkish F-16s operate from the north of Cyprus, this crosses from alliance friction into breach.⁵
The answer is not reopening the F-35 programme. The answer is enforcement.
Sustainment.
Upgrades.
Munitions.
Mission software.
Operational permissions.
Occupied Cyprus cannot become another platform from which Ankara launders force under NATO cover. Not after Somalia. Not while Turkey helps shield Iran. Not while British bases already attract fire.
And not while Ankara keeps testing whether the West still has red lines - or only habits of surrender.

Any transfer of Turkish F16s to the occupied northern part of #Cyprus would be a violation of 🇺🇸 law (ITAR restrictions). 🇹🇷 trying to figure out how many American laws it can break. #WorstAllyEver
Παρακαλώ θερμά, ας το αναπαράγουμε για να πάει παντού‼️
Πρώτα, σε όσους φαντασιώνονται νέες αυτοκρατορίες και γαλάζιες πατρίδες και δεύτερον, στα πολιτικά κι αριστερά φερέφωνα τους στην Ελλάδα, την Κύπρο και το Ισραήλ‼️
