So what can billions of dollars buy you?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

If Cyprus had billions of dollars to buy a CyProb solution I would choose…

1. A bribe for the occupier to abandon Cypriot territory.
3
30%
2. A bribe for the UNSC to issue a binding resolution in Cyprus' favor.

No votes
3. A bribe for a superpower to do Cyprus' dirty work.

30%
4. The hiring of agents and military contractors to do Cyprus' dirty work.

10%
5. The purchase of an endless supply of Greek history books and pom-pom shoes.

6. Some other investment explained below...

I don't believe in spreading my loyalties too thinly.

I'm shocked you didn't go for #5! :?

Option 4, a nicely engineered 'False Flag' operation which leaves the EU with no alternative but to kick the shite out of the Turks for daring to make an unprovoked attack upon one of it's member states.

Those that are well able to set up such an undercover operation, are STILL in positions of power and well schooled in the manoeuvres required to guarantee success.

The result?, peace on the Island, a rebirth of the Cypriot culture (as was in the days of old) and a new prosperity for ALL Cypriots (providing Israel agrees of course). :wink:

I am with GIG on No 3 though I am less fussy about which super power.

No 5 is defintely out: you forgot to include the Fustanelas, for the Skirt lifters to wear.

The EU will need far more than mere bribery!

They will need to grow some bollocks as beforehand just to show us they are capable of being taken seriously! :lol:

Unlike the GCs whose “Greekness” is politically manufactured myth, the TCs are TRULLY Turkish Kiakpu, so they can never feel away from home among Turks!


I agree with you, that I wouldn't trust any of those clowns, the so called TC leaders in the north. They being such puppets for the last 50 years or so couldn't find their own tongue in their own mouths if they tried to look for it. The only thing they know is having some one's hand up their butts to make them move and pretend to be talking. With this kind of payment to the 100,000 settlers, they will need to group together and elect a moderate TC, perhaps someone like our friend "Iceman" to make the call once elected. We are talking about a FULL EU Principles to apply at a Federal System or a Unitary state with ZERO derogation. The BBF conceived in the 70's would become Null & Void. The settlers will love to crap all over the arrogant TC leaders in power right now with all the money they have, mostly gotten from selling stolen GC properties. It will be a payback time. They will get their EU citizenship to vacate the north and eventually $100,000 in their pockets. It would be a win-win situation.
