What I have understood is that they always seem to standby their true friends and allies.
What is important is that the RoC becomes one of the entrusted 'true friends' and allies of the United States. Why?
because the RoC will never again be targeted or compromised as in the past, and they will hopefully get more involved in getting Turkey out of Cyprus.
I believe it is possible but the RoC needs to play its cards right.
You don’t seem to comprehend the severity of the global problem.
America is being run by CRIMINALS and the only business they do and understand is bribes, kickbacks, extortions, obstructions of justice, and general racketeering.
In essence it’s a worldwide protection racket of the petrodollar and they’ll go to any lengths for the furtherance of their illegal activities around the globe.
They have corrupted every single domestic and international institution that was borne out of the great wars thus ensuring that not a single international problem be solved, that most countries be in constant disarray, and that humanity be in perpetual strife or submit to their dominance.
Now if you really think that such an organization; a super Cosa Nostra on a global scale, will ever be willing to settle matters in a just way in the Middle East, or elsewhere including Cyprus you must be very naive.
I would say I am a realist rather than naive.
I think you are exaggerating just a little, but yes the US will not always do what is right. They are a superpower, have an agenda and are governed by interest.
What I do know is that they seem to do what is right for their friends. I also know, that the RoC can't afford to piss countries like these off and we could do with better political ties with the US. We basically need to use them, like many other countries use them for security.
We are not a country that can actually dictate terms to the US like China could instance.
