“too soon”….

Interesting, of course the Turks were waiting the whole time to exploit the current Greek weakness. Turkish Cyprus indeed, ha. Just like China is slobbering over Taiwan, though for far less sane reasons.

But I´m more concerned about the whole asian-landwar-thingy the cabal around Brzezinski(the Palpatine to Jar-Jar-Obama) has been cooking up for decades now. It´s clear they want to use the nutjobs in Israel to start of the avalanche. The question is when?

Ukraine is split pretty much 50/50 left and right along ethnic/religious/language lines. It’s another borderline, always has been, but unlike the old days their hands are on the gas taps for Europe and they have nukes…

The Greek economy wasn’t as bad as today in 1967, but then, nobodies was…. we are in a whole new ball game now with leveraged collateralised swapped debt.

I will refer you to https://wimminz.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/now-playing-free-fallin/

We are in a whole new ball game because in the digital world things happen faster than humans can adapt to, and in a digital world things are interconnected to a degree never before possible… an audacious ploy in wall street can go through a thousand permutations and links and unravel the Greek banking system 4 hours later, with no way to stop it.

Excellent analysis, which succintly analyzes a troublespot with the potential to turn “hot.” Yes, culture and religion can trigger wars. The Greek-Turkish border can be thought of as a geopolitical fault line. Ditto for the border between Albania and Serbia; the Albanians are ethnic Turks and the Serbs, probably more so than the Greeks (with whom they share a common Christian religion, don’t they?), have not been exactly westerners, but certainly not middle-easterners either. And yes, wildfires do tend to spread. Didn’t WW I start in what is today Serajevo, where the Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand was shot dead on a bridge which today separates (I think) Christian and Muslim areas? And who really was Jozep Princip, the guy who shot Francis Ferdinand?

Question 1: When the Greek junta took over (in 1967 I think), was Greece in debt, as you claim? I am not sure. Greece had certainly been bankrupt before 1967 (primarily to Britain and France), but was it finances that brought the Greek junta into power?

Question 2: Crimea belongs to the Ukraine. Are the Russians and the Ukrainians as far apart as, say Greeks and Turks or Serbs and Albanians? I don’t think so: they have the same religion, they are white, and their language is similar, isn’t it? You say that “further north we have the Soviets,” but the Soviet Union disintegrated over twenty years ago and is no more. I think it is outside forces which are trying to CREATE a geopolitical fault line in Crimea (but so far have failed).
