As a Cypriot should I be worried?
Posted by Budget_Ad4476@reddit | AskBalkans | View on Reddit | 58 comments
I read the post about Israel potentially going to war with Turkey and how its possible Cyprus would be in the mix as well. Do you feel like this is something that is inevitable?
Latter-Explorer-5301@reddit
It’s never gonna happen.

Israel might cause an episode in syria. Turkey Will have to get involved. Thus nato won't have any reason to get involved.

Actually attacked the Western security system many times though the centuries.
Budget_Ad4476@reddit (OP)
Why do you think that is?
Latter-Explorer-5301@reddit
Turkey is 100% reliant on the US & EU, and Turks will never fight for an Arab cause
Budget_Ad4476@reddit (OP)
I am talking about Israel being the aggressor
Latter-Explorer-5301@reddit
There is no rational reason for them. Turkey has 80 million people and is a status quo power.
Budget_Ad4476@reddit (OP)
It doesnt have to be a full blown out war. Like I said what I am worrying about as a Cypriot is us being used as proxy
Latter-Explorer-5301@reddit
Erdogan’s ultranationalist coalition partner, Devlet Bahceli once suggested to annex the North, but that was eventually dismissed and never heard about ever againx
I think there are sufficient de-escalation mechanisms between Israel and Turkey. Also the US mediation makes aggression from either party extremely unlikely.
Budget_Ad4476@reddit (OP)
Well i really do hope you are right. Stay safe, take care!
The_Inventor_Stick@reddit
It’s probably inevitable but not something that will happen in the next 5 to 10 years
CC-2062@reddit
They are on the roll though. And Benjamin needs to find a way to delay his corruption trial and grab more power before the next elections. He might cause an episode in syria and then Turkey will get involved therefore it will be an aggressive war and not get any help form NATO.

I'm Israeli. You should really filter out the accusations against Israel because they are driven by an agenda. Israel only attacks countries that attack it directly, or allow attacks on it from their territory or sponsor attacks via proxies. When a country signs a peace agreement with Israel it will never attack. So the only way Israel will enter a war with Turkey is if Turkey will want and pursue one. It will never be the desire of Israel.

You're fooling nobody. The entire world can see that Israel is a highly violent ethnostate with expansionist ambitions and where people engage in violence against Arabs for sadistic reasons. Just look at the genocide, the Israelis destroying humanitarian aid for starving people, the Israelis enjoying the sight of Gaza being destroyed, the Israeli snipers targeting children and [the Israeli soldiers repeatedly gunning down starving people.]
May all war criminals (including those in Israel) be brought to the Hague!
אנחנו יודעים שישראל מבצעת רצח עם בעזה. יש שואה בעזה פושעי מלחמה להאג!

Peace and love. Don't choke on your hatred.
notnotnotnotgolifa@reddit
Peace and love is what the kids in gaza wanted to until you decided in collective punishment and genocide. No its not hamas its you directly targeting civilians now go back to your den
Present-Image-90@reddit
Sure they teach at schools in Gaza how to love and cherish life, and encourage youth for tolerance and coexistence.
gamberro@reddit
There you have it, not even denying the atrocities but justifying them!
All people who served in the IDF in Gaza are complicit in genocide. If you are one of the many Israelis involved in war crimes, may you be taken to the Hague too.
Present-Image-90@reddit
You misread, because you read what your agenda dictates. I didn't deny, nor justify anything, just mocking the ignorance you fools display about the situation.
Zoshi2200@reddit
Here it is folks: proof of government brainwashing and propoganda
denayz@reddit
Yes, the whole world has seen how you ruthlessly kill children and civilians, threatening your region. Especially nowadays, everyone knows that Israel has no regard for law or justice when it comes to dropping bombs and starting wars.
MajinaiHanashi@reddit
If any other non-nuclear nations start developing nukes such as Korea, Japan, Germany, Nordics or Poland or anyone else that mentioned it in the past few years, Turkey will also develop and there is absolutely fuck all Israel can do about it.
Present-Image-90@reddit
If Turkey starts threatening to wipe out Israel and develops nukes, let's talk again. Until then...
MajinaiHanashi@reddit
"tHreATiNIng tO wIPe OuT IsRAeL" your delusional attempts at creating enemies isn't gonna work on this one bud.

Israeli ministers are threatening and accusing Turkey of commiting a nonexistent genocide against Kurds, they are supporting Greece and Cyprus's militarization efforts and Greece is violating the Treaty of Lausanne by rearming the Aegean islands.I think they are looking for a justification against Turkey but they know they dont have the public support in the west i think we are safe at least for a couple of years
Flokithedog@reddit
You are incorrect, Greece is not violating the Treaty of Lusanne by arming the Aegean Islands. Your head is up your rectum if you think that.
Turkey has already violated Lusanne by having Pogroms in Instanbul that erased the majority of any Greeks left in Turkey, and is actively violating international law by occupying northern Cyprus, and threatening NATO ally Greece with war if it expands to 12nm as is its right under... international law.
Turkey has a massive 100k plus army with LANDING equipment across the Greek islands to invade them. We are not dumb, we see what you Turks are doing. Don't fear, when the time comes, you will all drown on the way over. Hate to say it as I like Turks but it's you guys pushing it. As if Greece arming the islands is a threat to Turkey? Bugger off.
SnooLentils726@reddit
Your head is filled with propaganda and garbage instead of brain. You owe your existence and national identity to the West, which designed it according to their own interests, you've lost your entire army to some peasants reorganized by Atatürk, and yet you think you can defeat fully equipped Turks who are five times your size in army and population? A bold speech from someone who hasn't been independent for 1400 of the last 2200 years.
The pogrom was organized by the Counterguerilla, the American-backed deep state; even the term "deep state" itself originated in Türkiye in the 80s. Turkey was a guarantor state for Cyprus under British supervision, and initially they supported the noble Turkish cause to save Turkish Cypriots from genocide, but the West immediately backed down when Turkey didn't want to implement a pro-Western solution in Cyprus. The only thing that clearly violates international agreements is you arming the islands, and if you don't behave, you will lose those islands.

First link only points to the obvious actions of THE COLD WAR, it was called so because of all the secret intelligence bullshit
The rest of the links says more about Turkey than usa, like Jesus how the fuck everyone has a problem with Israel when Turkey exists!
DriveByAtanCivciv@reddit
Relax bro we got this amk don't worry.
Otherwise-Strain8148@reddit
The expected war will commence in somalia. Cyprus wont be a front.
But we have about 5 years to come; but it will happen eventually.
Worth_Prune6116@reddit
Inshallah Turkey will handle their own wars in Turkey and not abroad.
Distinct_Travel6386@reddit
is Somalia Turkey?
Next_League6403@reddit
If you google a bit you can see cyprus is within their so called ''promised lands''
We had problems with greece based on history,politics etc. Their argument is ''it was promised to us by god, we are the chosen people'' So yeah there is that...

Two countries war is between them.
Flokithedog@reddit
For all the Trash erdogan talks, he still supplies Israel with Oil and bombs.
No he won't invade Cyprus. The way Europe moved too after a drone hit was scary to him. If he attacks Cyprus he loses defense ties with both Spain and Italy where he has invested big.
Iusuallyshit@reddit
Drone hit?
Flokithedog@reddit
the "Iranian" drone that hit a UK base in Cyprus
inflamesc@reddit
Israel is using you against Turkiye. Like they did with kurdish people. So its your nations choice to be bitch of Israel or stand aside.
Immediate-Yam-8828@reddit
No need to worry unless cyprus decides to start shooting rockets at israel.
Didudidudadu737@reddit
Israel just deemed Spain as a hostile country, without rockets…
Immediate-Yam-8828@reddit
Sanchez blocked military shipments and dual use goods from going to israel while Spain has sent dual use goods to iran for decades. It isn't really a surprise that israel got fed up with them and kicked them out of the cmcc.
Cyprus already has strong trade and military deals with israel. They just signed another trilateral military cooperation deal between Greece, Cyprus, and Israel recently
Didudidudadu737@reddit
So everyone that doesn’t agree with ethnic cleansing and illegal occupation are hostile, gotcha
RaspyLeaks@reddit
I fucking hate israel with every cell in my body. But that sounds quite rich coming from a serb!
Didudidudadu737@reddit
Because I have orchestrated my corrupt government that I didn’t elect and have stolen elections, did what it did while I was a teenager protesting against the same government/regime?
RaspyLeaks@reddit
Fair point. I agree fully!

Prisma1986@reddit
No because Turkey is already doomed. Just think about it, the US will choose between Israel or Turkey. Which country do you think they will choose to support?
Whole_Obligation_776@reddit
Turkey, we bribe him, they just hold on to his pedo stuff, Trump will go for money stuff if he is in a pinch.
Kalepox@reddit
Trump s biggest allies at the region are Isreal and Turkey. Both sides make immense money trading each other they won’t fight
Agis-Spartan-King@reddit
Jews and Americans will push Turkey to attack Greek islands,because the Jews plan is to devide Turkey to smaller countries,same they did to Yugoslavia. Plan is to establish the new big Kurdish state on the East of Turkey. They will let Rusia do the start and after that all will fight to who's getting the fillets like the Bosporus straits,Constantinople etc. Rusia was aiming for the Bosporus straights from the begining. If you study the war maps since they stepped on Ukraine,they are marching to Constantinople from day one.
NateInEC@reddit
No.
Temporary_County1838@reddit
It is possible that Southern Cyprus to attack northern Cyprus. Greeks known to be lapdog of foreign powers to attack Turkey.
BeeUnfair4086@reddit
I would already be looking for the exit. The Israelis have lost it.

Depends if your Greek or Turkish
