I am sure Get Real (along with every other member) would prefer a just and peaceful settlement and that is where you seem to be having difficulty in understanding the support Get Real is receiving.
My own views (in the previous poll) were quite clear and brief, there would be little point in adopting your approach to a settlement since, quite frankly, I considered your proposals mere murmurings of what any of us may read in the gutter press, totally ineffective political claptrap.
Get Real, on the other hand, approaches the issue from a position which rallies the support of those who have a less myopic view of the situation in Cyprus, he is not suggesting that we should all march out and declare war on our own people, he is highlighting the option of military action should the negotiating capabilities of those who represent Cyprus should fail.
The ultimate objectives of both you and Get Real are very similar, they are in tandem with the majority of the members I am sure, the difference is that your proposals emanate from your weakness and willingness to follow the failed policies of the gullible, whereas Get Real declares his own opinions, THAT is why paphitis found it so easy to make his choice and the same reasons apply to my own.
In my humble opinion of course.
May be I misread the following , just as you have done, here it is again , now read it and then tell where war is mentioned as a last resort .
He states clearly that any political arrangement is now history . I read this as meaning there is no chance of a political settlement.
He then states""" it’s become apparent that Cyprus can only be liberated in the same way it was enslaved… through bloodshed! """"
This means to me at least that war is the only option , having already stated that the political options are history.
READ CAREFULLY.
""""""Any illusions of a complex inter-communal political arrangement being implemented in Cyprus is now history, Turkey’s EU make-believe journey is over, and it is now a race to get the upper hand in technology, political influence, and in the overall balance of power because unfortunately it’s become apparent that Cyprus can only be liberated in the same way it was enslaved… through bloodshed! """"
This is what you posted:
"""he is not suggesting that we should all march out and declare war on our own people, he is highlighting the option of military action should the negotiating capabilities of those who represent Cyprus should fail."""
BULLSHIT !! He NEVER SAID WHAT YOU ARE IMPLYING !! All that bloody education and you cant comprehend what he wrote read it again mate>>
"""""Any illusions of a complex inter-communal political arrangement being implemented in Cyprus is now history, """"
The above written by GR means , war is the only option not that war remains an option if all else fails.
By the way why did you vote , it is clearly marked for G/Cs only !!
Therefore if I eliminate your vote and GR's vote he has 11 to my 7 !!
