Greece deploys missile defense contingent in Saudi Arabia

[Old_Observer]

About 130 Greek soldiers with Patriot Missile defense systems have been deployed in Saudi Arabia to protect the Kingdom.

The funny thing is Greece has both S-300 of Russian/Soviet and Patriot systems from USA.

 

Guess the Russians want Saudis to buy S-400, thus not allowing the Greeks to deploy S-300 in Saudi Arabia.

 

The price Greeks pay for this is New Greek USA agreement on Defense allowing America to use all Greek bases (Mediteranean), making another point of disagreement with Turkish.

 

I hate countries that give up their sovereignity for temporary protection from an enemy that is not interested. Greeks should talk directly with Turkish about their own interest first not British, French or cypres.

 

Its funny the Saudis being protected by Greeks.

OO,

Poor Greece can not protect no one. They are broke, and they are probably looking some cash from Fat boys of the gulf pretending to be protecting them. THree weak nations : Cyprus, Greece and Israel came together for east Mediterranean pipeline. Turkey told them that they can not drill or build a pipeline without her consent. Israel might have political muscle through America, but can not project power outside its own close borders.

Everyone has F-16 and the era of tanks crossing borders are over. In fact, if the warmonger Netanyahu leaves the political scene , Turkey might bring the two sides together and lower the tension between Israel and  the Palestinians.

Also, there is huge debate about the viability of the American Patriot missiles. The Gulf boys had spent over $100 billion worth of weapons for the last 10 or 15 years, yet, they could not defend the $2 Trillion worth Saudi Aramco--the most important company in the whole region--- from missiles fired from Yemen or Iran. The American weapons industry is worried that $2 billion Patriot missiles could not even  intercept any missiles in SAudi Arabia, so everyone is planning to to either switch or fins alternatives. Why pay billions for these expensive toys if they do not work when you need them.

So, if Uncle Sam can not protect the Saudis from missiles, do you think the poor, dirty and cash strapped Greeks will fare better. Everyone is running around to stop the new big dog in the neighborhood --The Turks. In fact, the Turks are not any other country invading Libya. They have long history in Libya , ruling for 400 hundred years. The Libyans  and the Ottomans fought the invading  Italians army together in 1912 just before the first world war which ended the Ottoman Caliphate.  Today, there are 1.5 million Libyan of Turkish origin, mainly in Misrata, Sirta and TRipoli. Republic of Turkey founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk led the campaign against the Italians. He commanded 6,000 guerrilla fighters against 100,000 Italians.

The Puthcist leader Hifter and doesn't even have  Libyan man power or fighting men. Most of his army are mercenaries like Sudanese, Chadian, Maliyans and Russians  paid by the fat gulf boys.You can not capture the whole country with mercenaries. The people of Libya had overthrown a better dictator than Hifter.

This stupid sectarian Somalis do not understand the whole game. It is not only about LIbya, it is about reclaiming of self rule and decolonizing. the whole region The era of stealing the peoples resources through dictators is over. Libya got an elected and UN recognized government. Turkey will never allow another Sisi in Libya. Take that to the bank. 

We THe Sons  of Ahmed Gurey, and the Great Darwish Ina Cabdille Hassan are walking side by side with these Turks. Who knows if things settle down on Somalia side, we might even deploy Somali soldiers in the future to defeat  Arab despots in our region.

These insignificant states like Greece, Egypt or even Israel do not  match the 85 million Turks  who are the second biggest army in NATO., and  want to take their place as a regional power. That is why Greece is asking France to join the weak axis of Arab despots: UAE, Saudis, Egyptians, Cyprus and Hifter to stop Turkey. Yet, without the Americans involvement all these nations are toothless, and the American would probably join the Turks if ERdogan plays his cards well. Nothing is achievable in the region without the permission of the Turks. 

Today,  Turkey GDP is  800 billion dollars. Most of her economy is based on agriculture and manufucturing. In order to surpass the Trillion dollar and join the Korean and others they must mass produce indigenous cars , weapons export and so on. 

It is the American leadership that had allowed the Russians to expand to the region. despite their advanced weapons, the Russian economy is equal to that of Italy. I do not like the Russians and do not trust them. Erdogan should mend fences with America and defeat the killer of the Syrian people , Asad.

Saaxiib nimaan nahay cadawgeyga lama simo.

Folks, for sixty years we never had real allies or friends. The soviets were our friends for short period, and we threw them out due to Arab despots buying the Somali government with cash. For the last 30 years we had no one to rely on. We were wondering between Djibouti, Addis, Nairobi and Kampala. Remember they all trained Somali soldiers that became ghosts after they returned. Some trained in Kenya were even used for sectarian reasons.

Finally when we tried to rise the false Sheikhs of the gulf shows up with bag of money and a knife. Why would we trust those who are murdering their own people by millions in order to rule one more day.

^spot on. The most important thing in this world is principle.  You lose your principles, you don't know who you are and what you are about, i.e the Arab gulf despots. They sold their souls to the highest bidder to stay in power.
