And the EU are talking about creating a European Army. What a joke! The individual countries do not even provide sufficient support for EU peace initiatives.

The article was first published in the Cyprus Mail, a S.Cyprus newspaper. So what you are saying is the CM is stirring it.
Don't shoot the messenger.

Turkey can bully as much as she wants, do you really think they will stop the Italian/French/USA from carrying on their legal work in the Med....like other dictators have found out through out History, give them enough rope and they will hang them selves..

True.

Funnily enough, I've been wondering of late whether Exodus is Geoffreys in disguise. Has all the hallmarks. Amos worships Trump...and Geoffreys used to claim that Trump was the best thing since sliced bread :lol:
Wrong (whoever that person is). Whoever this guy is he has the right view about President Trump. Trump has been a good friend to Israel and I am sure will remain so with US support against Iran if they continue with their "eliminate Israel" policy!
