Countries Participating in the Peace Summit in Egypt today. Do you think your country should have been invited?

[-]

I honestly can't understand why Greece was invited, lol. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great that my country is represented in these kinds of things, but I don't think we're the most capable or strong regional player to have a say in these matters.

Well done to Getapetritis (MinEx) though for managing this. Perhaps we're seeing a reemergence of capable diplomacy.

Koulis' government and the army of Internet trolls they control being the biggest genocide bootlickers for the past 2 years?

Greeks have been in intimate contact with the near east since ancient times. The first language the Bible was translated into was Greek.

Probably because it's important for both countries to establish energy hubs and routes excluding Turkey.

Your country was invited because of its history. Our entire Western principles are built on the foundations of ancient Greece.

I don't think modern geopolitics care a lot about symbolic gestures like this, lol

Skt_turbo@reddit

History is diplomacy. Soft power matters more than you think.

TheRedBaron-7@reddit

are greece and egypt not coordinating military things together?

[-]

EnesAkhan@reddit

They do military exercises from time to time but beyond that not that much?

Είμαστε σύμμαχοι με το Ισραήλ, συνεργαζόμαστε με την Αίγυπτο, έχουμε τον καλύτερο στόλο στην περιοχή, οι μεταναστευτικές ροές μας επηρέαζαν/επηρεάζουν άμεσα, οι Τούρκοι θα είναι εκεί... Δεν μπορώ να καταλάβω πως μπορείς να μην καταλαβαίνεις γιατί δεν έπρεπε να λείπουμε. Μην σκέφτεσαι κομματικά, ότι κόμμα και να υποστηρίζεις. Τα κόμματα σήμερα είναι, αυτό δεν είναι και οι βουλευτές είναι όλοι για την μάσα. Σκέψου το καλό της χώρας.

Συμφωνώ μαζί σου και αν μη τι άλλο όπως έγραψα και στο αρχικό σχόλιο χαίρομαι που μας κάλεσαν και θα συμμετέχουμε. Φέρνει στο μυαλό παλιές εποχές που ήμασταν το επίκεντρο της διπλωματίας στην περιοχή, τον ρόλο που τώρα έχει αναλάβει η Τουρκία. Είναι απλά ασυνήθιστο να μας συμπεριλαμβάνουν έτσι. Ευχάριστη έκπληξη, αν θέλεις.

Probably because we're Israeli simps, so they requested all their simps put on their ball gag, put on their collar, and show up

Can’t wait for our Prime Minister to go on a nationalistic rant about the rights and the future of the Israelis then come back to Greece to tell us how we should be more progressive and liberal.

[-]

EnesAkhan@reddit

Cant wait him saying the classic "dont give Turkiye weapons nd remove them from NATO cuz they will invade us" speech 😅

[-]

ConsciousPatroller@reddit

Well... it's not great but it's a fact that the strongest Türkiye gets, the more aggressive the Aegean rhetoric becomes. It is vital for Greece to maintain the already fragile balance of arms by restricting or limiting the sale of modern weapons to Türkiye.

We're in a ridiculous arms race. Drone technology we developed (which is like ok and cheap, not super advanced) spooked you guys and you militarized the islands plus added some US bases along the borders which spooked us to develop ballistic missiles and shit. It's such a joke.

I know that you guys are concerned we'd invade you, but the truth is we don't have to do that to take over. With a high average age, low fertility, and youth immigration, Greece will be nearly empty in 100 years anyways.

Mweh wouldn’t worry too much. We have been in much much worse states over the last 3000 years. We always come back on top.

Meanwhile Türkiye's economy getting worse every year, birthrate steadily decreasing, not to mention at its worst politically (freedom of press, freedom of opposition etc). So yeah you will absolutely "take over" organically. I'm sure of that.

(Without even getting into how terrible the "take over" mentality is)

khrushchevka2310@reddit

The islands had increased military for decades, after Cyprus.And bases are too recent for turkey to develop and manufacture missiles.Basically its turkey being more aggressive and greece trying to balance it.

[-]

EnesAkhan@reddit

or Israelis can take it over cuz just how many immigrations happened to Greece

correct me if i m wrong but the numbers arent low at all in % compared to Greece population afterall . same stupid mistakes we did .. truely one of a kind neighbours we are smh xD

[-]

EnesAkhan@reddit

honestly its funny cuz both sides know that they can never sustain a war economy on such a level againts each other especially considering outside factors in it .

[-]

HalayChekenKovboy@reddit

We can't even sustain a regular economy 💔

[-]

CypriotGreek@reddit

I wonder why we make such speeches. Truly a mystery.

[-]

Malgus1997@reddit

Why tf does Hungary get over represented in geopolitics so much? It’s like everyone forgot that they no longer are the medieval powerhouse they used to be, even post Trianon.

[-]

cameliap@reddit

Judging by the map, this is anything but peace summit.

Jesus they snubbed ALL Slavic countries again?! WTF are we doing in alliances with these guys, I’ll never understand. No wonder they still use our ethnic name Slav for their word slave

[-]

CocoonNapper@reddit

If Bulgaria wasn't there, then it's a waste of time. Now they have to invite Bulgaria and do it all over 🤷🏻‍♂️

[-]

ZestycloseAardvark36@reddit

No, we have not even recognized Palestina. Which is dumb as fuck. (Netherlands)

[-]

Er1on004@reddit

abhora_ratio@reddit

No, not really, no. I mean.. we have our thing going on with Ukraine and the hybrid warfare and the budget deficit and all the rest. It's crazy enough.
