Those commentators below the article and elsewhere (including some from here) are the good people in this world!
These "activists" are either seriously misinformed or paid for by the propaganda merchants.
You are an insignificant minority which are clueless!
most of the developed world is with the Coalition on this one, and as if an assertive Russia is going to be at all a good thing. You people have lost your minds!!
I am not going to exaggerate at all, or be hyperbolic, but the world is staring down the barrel of a major catastrophic war of attrition. It won't go nuclear, but Russia and America are headed towards war. And everyone is going to have to pick a side, including Cyprus. This is what is going to happen if there is no Russian back-down.
A war where millions of people will be killled and which will make WW2 look like a little skirmish.
This war is already playing out at the moment in Syria against Russia through Coalition and Middle eastern proxies. This is happening because of an accumulation of factors beginning with Georgia/South Ossetia, then Ukraine, and now the Assad regime. Syria is just where the Coalition/NATO and allies have drawn the line in the sand because they didn't do it in Ukraine thinking it will be a one of. And they see it as having no other choice, otherwise more things are going to happen and more countries will be invaded probably starting with the Baltic States or Poland.
Cyprus is de-facto a Coalition ally, as it is an EU member and the EU is Coalition. If you think the Coalition are going to allow Cyprus go all stupid with their stupid ideas, and this war plays out, the Coalition will turn Cyprus into a Turkish island or a crater. No one gives a fuck about Cyprus. Not Russia, or the coalition.
whether you like it or not (and don't behave like a whore), Cyprus belongs to the Coalition. If you belong to the EU or NATO, then you belong to the coalition. What you think is insignificant and irrelevant. Plus, you will never be on the opposite side of Greece, which it too is an EU and NATO ally and therefore a defacto Coalition nation.
If this was 70 years ago, we would be in a World War already. Syria, is just the same history repeating itself prior to WW1 and WW2. Pootin is getting adventurous, and with Pootin there is no transparency at all. Syria, is the modern day Poland and prelude to a major international catastrophe of unprecedented proportions. UNLESS, there is a peace deal within the next 6 months. DAESH is not the main game here, and it never was! A few terrorist attacks are the least of our problems believe me. This is far more larger than any DAESH! It has more to do with Ukraine and crimea than anything else and the Coalition is out to let some blood. DAESH is only what they feed to the stupid masses like Robin hood and yourself! And it isn't just the Coalition doing it. Russia is doing the same thing. first word out of everyone's lips is DAESH, but its the last thing on anyone's mind. Even the offensive on Mosul is an offensive against Russia. Coalition is out to cause maximum embarrassment to Russia as possible. Coalition is spending billions of Dollars turning the Iraqis into a force to be reckoned with. money is no object. Why?
The USA and its allies will not allow his provocations to continue unabated. it's something they know they can't afford to do.
And before you even say this is about the USA, you should consider the fact that the USA is a direct manifestation of its allies - EU, NATO, ANZUS, ASEAN etc etc It is all these countries that have built the American Machine to protect them against countries like Russia or China (which atm is pacifist)
