We don't need the turkish army to protect us from GCS that's a fact I will not dispute that because if I did then I am indirectly saying that all GCS want to kill TCs . There might be a few but not worth mentioning and feeling like killing some one to actually acting it out are two different things. Do you think we are safe with what is going on around us?
This is actually a very pleasing post. I am surprised.
The GCs are no threat as a whole. And I don't believe the TCs are a threat either even though there are some Grey Wolves.
To answer your question, Cypriots at large are not safe from potential attack by ISIL. They have the capability to attack America, Australia and any European Nation on its own soil, so Cyprus is a possible sitting duck. So there is no such thing as immunity from terrorist attack.
Even more disturbing is the propaganda which has already published a number of maps which include Cyprus as part of their Caliphate.
That idiot also posted this thread on the same day: cyprus43671.html He tells us that GCs are not a threat and then on the same day he writes that guarantees by Turkey are necessary
Sotos you have failed to answer my previous questions yet you are attempting to belittle my comments which at times are not my own opinion but based on the information at hand. Looking at this overall I believe a solution is possible with everything on the table but to support this I think it will go through with gurantees. My own opinion is get the turkish, greek and English army out but as I said before there is a real isis threat in the distant future that I TRUELY believe so would it be wise to do this now as part of the solution ? As I said before there is no threat from either TCs or GCS to each other and I stand by this. I will clarify this so sotos does not mix it up and accuse me that I say one thing and do some thing else. It is my belief that we don't need any gurantees and there is no threat to each community however I believe that the parties involved in solving this solution will not proceed unless part of the deal continues with gurantees or a revised version but I do believe everything else would be possible to agree to a solution and to actually sanction it . Does that make it any more clear to you sotos . Sotos you still have not answered my previous question.
The best way to defend against ISIL is to have your own Cyprus National Guard and your own Intelligence Agencies.
There is no way the British or anyone else for that matter will share intelligence with the RoC. It never happens.
Usually, Intelligence is shared between the Echellon 5 - USA, UK, AUS, NZ and Canada, but even then there are classifications which are not shared at ll.
At Pine Gap, the USA and AUS have separate Operations Rooms and they don't allow the other in most of the time even though it's a joint spy base.
The other thing that is possible is that the Echellon 5 might even be aware of an attack on Cypriot soil and not inform Cypriot Authorities. The reason is that they could even want the attack to occur in order to galvanise public opinion. Yes it's not right or ethical, but there is nothing about it that was ever meant to be moral or ethical. They just have objectives.
If you don't do it yourself, you're basically fucked!
