They have a long history of rooting Cyprus repeatedly with tragic events such as the coup of 74 and the many Clerides debacles including the notorious Anan Plan.
On the other hand, the communists love their country but carry the soviet stigma which doesn’t go down well with Europe.
With the center out of office Cyprus is screwed EITHER WAY so the only option now is to pick the side that can cause the LEAST amount of damage and that is Christofias.
Come Sunday, anyone who votes for Kashoulides votes for the DESTRUCTION OF CYPRUS, make no mistake...
GR, I would tend to agree with you on this, but, I worry even more that with a commi in charge, this will give the US/UK governments more reason to F us by causing further difficulties with Turkey.
It wouldn't surprise me if they were to deliberately recognise the TRNC just to piss us off like the did with Macedonia and greece when Greece pissed them off.
UK/US cannot afford to have Russia anywhere near Cyprus and the whole thing would then become more military orientated than politically orientated.
So, the choice is the frying pan or the fire as I see it. There is no choice sadly.
At least with TPap we knew that devil, with these two knieving gits we just don't know what our fate will be.
Come back tassos.
What the hell are you talking about? The Cold War is over, the U.S. could have cared less who had dibs on the name "Macedonia," Cyprus is a member of the EU, and Tassos is done, done, done. Now climb back under your rock and molt. It helps the scorpion mature.
HaHa Filitsa mou, Filitsa mou, you couldn't resist could you, well I don't blame you really. Its a common yankee trait, you are fed so much B**sh*t over there they don't allow you to see things how they really are.
The US/UK is not going to sit by and watch Cyprus become aligned to the Russians dear, EU or not. If Christofias wins, the waters would have been disturbed and the forces of evil will get to work.
Mark my words and here is my predictions for the future.
US/UK will begin to hum the TRNC/TR tune, they will start to have more contact openly, they will start talking about THE TRNC, where as at present they are keeping very low on this.
They cannot do the dirty work themsleves (1974) so they will let the rotweiler loose (aka Turkey) and we are going to get one hell of a bite. Then who are we going to turn to. US? UK? EU? We are heading for some big trouble ahead.
I don't like it, nothing I can do to stop it. The kas lot would have caused other problems like giving away the country for a few extra shillings.
Like I said, TPaP was the only real option to save us. IMHO The guy should have been given a chance to put his words into actions since he inherited the shit from Clerides and had to make good the bad.
God/Alluh help us all.
Forget the Christofias-Russian alignment. A more imminent concern is the Christofias-Papadopoulos alignment already in the works, with the result being nothing more than the status quo.
Obviously you know nothing about "common Yankee traits." Like it or not, my inability to resist is like yours, a Greek trait.
And about the bullshiet I'm fed, pray tell 'cause I'm waiting with baded breath, my little papagalo!
