A permanent Russian land/sea/air base in the ME is PERFECT for the region and indeed Cyprus!
Cyprus’ bargaining power should increase while that of America’s henchmen in the region (Israel, Turkey, Saudis) should decrease with time.
In the future I expect traffic between Latakia and Cyprus to increase dramatically and increased tensions between Russia and Turkey both in the sea off Cyprus and on Turkey’s border.
NATO's regional strategy has thus far been to prop up criminal states like Israel, Turkey and the filthy Saudis while battering their victims including Cyprus, but Russia's permanent presence here is about to change all that!.
It’s out with criminal NATO's regional violations and corruptions and in with
Russian Orthodox justice!
