>Thursday’s U.S.-Greece agreement builds on one signed in Athens two years ago by Blinken’s predecessor, Mike Pompeo, and will give the United States increased access to two bases in central Greece and one at Alexandroupolis, near the Greek-Turkish border. The U.S. naval base at Souda Bay, in the Greek island of Crete, is also key to the defense relationship.
Oh nice, our allies are welcome to place their bases here too.
If you stay very silent you can hear Erdogans angry screams. A welcome news for Greece for sure they need all the support they can get.
Greeks, what are your thoughts on this?
I have to wonder if this is some kind of reaction to the French deal. Good for Greece either way.
Turkophobic much ?
Even our presence is enough for them to wet their pants I guess.
