Beware Erdogan!

Post by Woody2 »

First this statement of intent on Israel, but Cyprus might be next in line ?

https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/18 ... l-war-Gaza

He has his eye on the rest of this island + the oil & gas reserves in the coastal waters.

If he mobilises for Gaza against Israel, its just a short hop across the water to follow-up his previous invasion of the north, then take the rest!

Have the Brits military the wherewithal available to hold him off?

Apart from the stupid assumptions and observations, exactly when did Erdogan "invade" the North.Certainly wasn't 1974 he wasn't even around then

Some people don't half talk nonsense. All I can say is that the expat bars of Paphos must be full of an awful lot of bullshitters!

Remember when Crown Resorts Horizon was going to be turned over to house refugees? :lol:

i feel safe in the knowledge that most expat pubs are full of ex SAS, they'd know what to do in a crisis.

My OH and I have met men who say that they are ex SAS, in Cyprus bars. Having lived in Herefordshire for many years, we were able to deduce that they hadn't got a clue about the SAS. To be a good liar, you need to be clued up.

I used to live in South London. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who had gold jewellery that they claim came from the Brinks Mat job.

Go to any boozer in the East End, and your guaranteed to talk to some one who knew the twins, the funny thing is, most of them weren't even born when the twins got banged up :lol:

Years ago, in Private Eye in the spoof Letters to the Editor column, there was the letter:

Dear Sir, I have just read the Daily Express from cover to cover in 7 seconds. Is this a record?

Editor: No
