Φέρτε πίσω τώρα τους Patriot από τη Σαουδική Αραβία, κύριε Μητσοτάκη!
Ενώ ο Μπιν Σαλμάν υπέγραψε αμυντική συμφωνία με την Αγκυρα, η Αθήνα στέλνει και ελικόπτερα Apache στα ΗΑΕwww.dimokratia.gr
Bring back the Patriots from Saudi Arabia now, Mr. Mitsotakis!
While Bin Salman signed a defense agreement with Ankara, Athens also sends Apache helicopters to the UAE
From… Mecca to Athens, the resounding slap in the face of the foreign policy of the dangerous Mitsotakis government was heard. The “friend and ally” Saudi Arabia, for whose protection Greece sent one of the most sought-after and hard-to-find war systems on the planet, a Patriot array with corresponding personnel and hundreds of missiles, signed a defense alliance agreement with Turkey and Pakistan.
Therefore, "bring back the Patriots" is no longer just an exhortation to the government, but an imperative request for national security, as a country that belongs to a multilateral scheme with Turkey and Pakistan, two countries that expressly seek to torpedo our national interests - such as IMEC -, cannot be protected by Greece.
And not only that, at the time this agreement is being signed, Athens is also sending Apache helicopters to the United Arab Emirates. A move that further involves our country in the war-torn Middle East. The aim is to "hunt" drones and they will be deployed to a base where other international forces are stationed.
As for the Patriots, their stay shows that Athens is determined to continue the role not of an ally, but of an extra. One could speak of a grand - if not royal - evacuation of Athens by Riyadh, but the reality is even worse, as developments in the Middle East region are rapid and to the detriment of our homeland's interests in both the short and long term.
Because it is not only that Ankara is essentially - with the blessings of the US - turning into a security provider for Saudi Arabia, but also that the Greek policy of recent years is being thrown into the trash. The Mecca agreement, the first step towards the creation of the famous "Islamic NATO", was not a secret, on the contrary, it was a declared goal of Ankara.
And in the face of Turkish insistence, Greece once again chose the role of a... willing and given ally, not against the US but against Saudi Arabia, which showed how much... it appreciated our offer from the signatures it put together with those who not only threaten Greece and militarily occupy half of Cyprus but also support the... Houthis.
Naivety.
Only those possessed of pacifist naivety can believe Ankara when it declares that a “defense” agreement with other countries aims to “preserve peace and stability.” Especially when this agreement reveals in the most eloquent way the fact that Turkey has achieved what it wanted to achieve, namely to plant its boot even more firmly in the volatile region of the Middle East.
Moreover, the signing was preceded by months of negotiations and the statement by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan that Ankara supports the creation of a broader regional security platform to promote cooperation and stability.
"The Mecca agreement, which does not target any specific country, will strengthen the common security and collective deterrence of the three countries, significantly contributing to the defense of peace and stability in our region," said yesterday in a statement published on the X platform, the Turkish presidency's communications director, Burhanettin Duran.
The three countries have long been expressing their “common concerns” about the chaotic situation in the Middle East. However, none of them speaks about the legitimate concerns that they leave unclear the commitments that each of them has made to the other two within the framework of their alliance. And most importantly, they also hide how the Sunni defense “college” will affect the broader crisis in the Middle East.
The facts, however, are clear, reminiscent of a lit torch in a powder keg, since the ever-provocative Turkey has the second largest army in NATO, Saudi Arabia is the most powerful country in the Gulf and is one of the largest oil exporters in the world, while Pakistan is the only Muslim nuclear power. So, will they work to defend peace and stability in the Middle East?
And kindly stop accommodating or appeasing Israel and all will be happy.You are a real catastrophist arent you?
Buddy,you need to understand that your country is not even noticed in this agreement.
The world is changing,either you change with it or be left behind.
Nobody wants or needs to attack your country,you are just small a neighbour.
They will hit Ankara the second you do that.According to the latest available data, Israel’s crude oil suppliers and their approximate shares are as follows:
Azerbaijan delivers the oil via BTC pipeline while Russia&Kazakhstan deliver it with tankers that pass through Turkish Straits.
- Azerbaijan: 46.4%
- Russia: 28%
- Kazakhstan: approximately 10–15%
- Nigeria: approximately 5–10%
We basically have the capability to cut around %90 of Israel's oil imports with a single decision.
And we'd do nothing.They will hit Ankara the second you do that.
