Cymart, you’re just making a TOTAL fool of yourself in this thread with your Bush style propaganda… best give it up because it doesn’t work and it can only lead to your Bush-like infamy on the CF... :lol:

And for God’s sake please read up on paragraphing! :roll:

The world is based on geopolitical power balances and smaller countries inevitably have less chances than larger ones to assert their interests..so the obvious solution is to play things to your best advantage and try to keep on the right side of the bigger ones who have the most influence on you.Knowing your strengths and weaknesses is one of the main contingents of political maturity.As a comparitively new independent state Cyprus did not have the benefit of this in the past and this was reflected in some of the disastrous actions of the politicians here...tinkering with the non-aligned countries and even worse,the Soviet Union during the Cold War in a bid to play-off the West was an example of this mistaken concept that the island was a super power which could dictate to them,rather than try to compromise and appease them.At the same time,I don't deny that there has been a great deal of meddling by outside forces here in the past and it is a pity that the Cypriots were not astute enough to avoid being led by it.But all that is history now-better to look forward instead.

The EU Commission also criticised Christofias for his behaviour in equating Turkey with Nazi Germany. It is the first time that it referred to an action of a state leader as inappropriate. Christofias is learning the hard way, it seems and unlike GR, Oracle and other paper tigers of this forum, he should make an effort to put the interests of Cyprus above his ideological rantings for this kind of behaviour suits only the sworn enemies of Cyprus, to use a term much loved by the cretins.

DEAD WRONG! It’s not to a small country’s advantage to appease war criminals like the US and the UK!

The solution is to always abide by international law and condemn those that do not vehemently and at every opportunity!

There is no other way but the LAW for Cyprus, quite simply because Cyprus can NEVER match the bribes of other bigger nations so it’s dumb to even contemplate playing dirty politics and assume you’ll come out on top against bigger wallets like that of Turkey!

Really Bananiot, really???
Oh my goodness, now that an EU commissioner's representative has "reprimanded" our president for his "naughty" behaviour, I must now run home to change my pants after urinating in them our of fear. Piss off Bananiot!!!

PS: Does anybody know what relationship there is between parallelling EU commission's pacifying attitude towards Turkey, with the way some European countries were trying to pacify Hitler's Germany before WWII, and any ideological preferences Christofias may have?

Kifeas, you are just too rude.

Billy boy you have too much time in your hands, change it and hold something else, but be careful because it can make you go Chinese if you do it too much.
