Many reasons to count but one of which was Russians being stupid enough to invade Afghanistan(and kill over 1 million people there) which was not nearly as stupid as Putins decision to invade Ukraine.Because they will suffer much harder defeat than the one on Afghanistan(they already have more casualties and the worst is yet to come)
Putin couldn't give a better gift to the enemies of Russia than this.
Well, when someone gets between the two groups and throws the first punch, the fight is the inevitable end.
Just like the ottoman empire's entry into ww1. Or, like the events that Cyprus experienced in 1974.
Look, this is very sad, but the USA is doing something similar to what it did in Ukraine between Turkey and Greece.
There are armaments on the islands, the USA gives grants to Greece, armored vehicles, the man at the head of Greece places them in the Aegean Islands, contrary to the treaties.
The religious rights of the Turkish minority in Western Thrace are being usurped and the pressure is increasing.
The Greek government states that it will increase the continental shelf in the Aegean to 12 miles, knowing that there will be problems. etc.
