    Interesting, one would think Greeks are likely to suddenly need ammunition too, with that stain to the east of them.

      Bruh. They both bicker but when earthquakes happen, they help each other. I find the loudest “Greek nationalists” tend to be Americans and Russian Medieval Total War gamers LARPing at being the Eastern Romans

        Well, I have varying experiences. I don’t think many people with Pontic ancestry would agree with you.

        It’s also easier to be friendly to Turks when your military is not that shitty, which naturally reduces the likeliness of war.

          Both Greece and Turkey are still democracies (despite the latter being very flawed) and both are part of NATO. Erdoğan is also smarter than Putin who loves to play both the West and its rivals. .
