Greece urges Germany to halt sale of submarines to Turkey – “These submarines risk shifting the balance of power in the eastern Mediterranean in favor of a country which, despite being a member of NATO, has issued a threat of war against Greece”

1. A thought, maybe the EU shouldn’t sell weapons to a country that questions the sovereignty of a fellow EU (and NATO) country, has a casus belli against Greece written in its constitution and openly threatens its neighbors with war.

   Let’s see beyond the nose and a quick buck when it comes to European security vis-à-vis autocrats this time?

   These weapons enable Erdogan. Its important the perceived cost of war remains high for a revisionist country like Turkey.

2. Greece needs to quit being such a crybaby.

3. And if they do that now, then Turkey will definitely not ratify the Finnish and Swedish accession to NATO.

4. What a bunch of pussies

5. By the way, we sold Greece practically exactly the same submarines, they are called Papanikolis class there.

   If we really sold Turkey German high-tech, like the new Dakar class that we supply to Israel, then I could understand the resentment, but we don’t do that.

6. hello I am Greece I place artileries to islands that can hit turkish mainland but they are the ones who are threating me .s .s

   edit: islands
