Well thats one way of seeing it, a completely distorted and inaccurate view, but you know its you POV.

This has turned into everybody vs. the sole Greek user.

Man vs. Nature and nature always finds a way. Should have never straightened that river. I hope we can learn from our failures in the past.

What if in a couple of years tides change and France is ruled by social democrats or any other party that is less export friendly when it comes to weapons and oppose selling to conflict zones. Better get them while you can. You never know in politics. Hypothetical scenario of course, I don't...
