It is a Defence Force against outside aggression!
It is there to Defend the Cypriot people and protect the RoC's territorial integrity!
Death came to the island when Turkey invaded and they still threaten us, so we arm ourselves against them otherwise we would be defenceless!
RW, do you disagree?
not at all. and i hope you will agree that the threat is Erdogan (and this ilk), not Turkey, which is lining us up for a World War, so that out of all of it maybe she'll get a little bit instead. indeed, Cyprus needs to defend itself, and as i was saying, once all the kaboom settles down, it will be the warfare of the worst kind, on this island. my point is there is no point in glorifying the possibility, i really don't care who will flatten who, better. as you say a defensive force, this is the NG, capable, well trained, and disciplined; silent. and to be a good ally, equipped as well.
...it is entirely possible that Russia will ally with America, (because Erdogan is that kind of a madman with too much money to spend) to stand together should other Middle countries stand with Turkey in her plaints. China comes to mind as a competitor up in coming in the art of war, (who could benefit from a demonstration of her skills; computers, aircrafts, and codes), Pakistan will likely stand against the USA, (Westward she claims a part of Afghanistan as her reward, Eastward she can finally settle the score), and Brazil even as a "neutral" party stands to gain (needing Industrial and Manufacturing progress), in this context i can see the EU on the opposite side, at war against Britain.
...we can hope that a solution can be found which is natural, or that an epiphany is had by the small group of men and women who are those who can decide.
So what happened to all the blabbering that went on in this forum many moons ago?
