In a new threat of war, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said that his country “cannot sit idly by” as France, India, and Greece supply weapons to Armenia. However, his justification for issuing a new threat of war is hypocritical since Azerbaijan has invested much more in its military compared to Armenia after turning to Turkey, Pakistan and Israel for weapons. The South Caucasus is clearly becoming a flashpoint for these competing blocs. “We cannot sit idly by while France, India, and Greece arm Armenia against us. They are doing this openly and demonstratively, obviously trying to prove something to us […] #Military #WarZone Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/04/aliyev-says-azerbaijan-cannot-sit/?feed_id=11515

In recent days, there has been a lot of speculation that Greece would deliver its Soviet/Russian-made air defenses, particularly the S-300 series SAM (surface-to-air missile) systems to the Kiev regime. Even some reputable Greek media such as the Kathimerini reported on this. The military transfer, according to reports, was to eventually include other Soviet-era military equipment, including the ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns, as well as the “Tor” and “Osa” short-range air defense systems. Greece is by far the largest non-Warsaw Pact operator of Soviet/Russian-made weapons. It has acquired them both during and after the (First) Cold War. Athens was one of the few […] #Featured #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/02/greece-denies-reports-about-air-defense-systems-transfer-to-kiev-regime/?feed_id=8787

Ahmed Adel, an Egyptian expert in geopolitics and political economy, recently wrote a superb analysis of the Kiev regime’s insistence that Greek shipping companies should be included on the sanctions list for their critical role in transporting Russian oil. He argues that this isn’t only a stab in the back of Greek economic interests, but also a clear indicator that the Neo-Nazi junta simply cannot be trusted for any long-term agreements (something that Russia also learned in March last year). As Adel pointed out, Athens even delivered huge amounts of weapons to the Kiev regime and has also backed virtually every sanctions […] #Featured #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/11/is-america-pushing-for-artificial-commodities-crisis/?feed_id=6956

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher Greece has delivered huge amounts of weapons to Ukraine and has vehemently backed sanctions against Russia. In fact, last year, on September 22, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis declared in an interview with Bloomberg, “We’re fighting a war against Russia, and we try to support Ukraine.” However, over the last year, Greek shipowners have dramatically increased their oil shipments from Russia, creating serious tensions between Athens and Kiev. At the same time, it is recalled that in discussions in the European Union about sanctions against Russia, the Greek prime minister defended them.
