Because the situation with Cyprus is completely tiresome at this point...

... I suggest that it's time Greece gave up the concessions and appeasements to Turkey once and for all. And follow a staunch and austere realpolitik. That is, complete aggression towards Turkey for any of its provocations and threats.. If Turkey commits acts of aggression, it is time we stopped acting like bloody babies. Instead, in each attack, there should be an even bigger counter-attack on our behalf. They, along with all Muslims, understand force as a matter of negotiation. Therefore, for each action of theirs, there should be an even more staggering reaction.

What's even worse, is that Greece right now is in a better military and economic position in comparison to Turkey. By a thousand miles. We can put them in their place, really easily so. But, as usual, our treacherous ruling class literally wants "to negotiate" to do "the tough talk". They will never act. They will always concede and appease. If a real nationalist government, which is in favour of our national interests, was to take power, Turkey and all the other annoying leeches called "our lovely neighbours", wouldn't even dare to touch us. That is exemplified in the late 70s and paradoxically, in the 80s. During this time, whenever Turks got horny, we threatened with even worse counterattacks and they didn't even dare to touch us as a result. But everything changed since the mid 90s. All that is left from the ruling class is treason and cowardice. They will keep giving up. This has to change.

Turks cannot be made friends. The only thing they understand is demonstration of force. Therefore, Greece and the West should demonstrate force. That is Realpolitik for you. Apply all practical circumstances to politics. Not moral bullshit.
