Watching this with with hawk eyes since long. There is lots of potential for a huge violent eruption in this, that will send shockwaves not just to the mediterranean region, but beyond.


And Germany once again seems to stand on the wrong side.

No one cares because no one is affected.

They had a 5 minute long issue on this subject in the news at 10. An expert was interviewet by the host and he said.

This has becoming a by-proxy war, where both side gets help from different countries.
The biggest fear is it will draw Iran into the conflict.

Russia Says Northern Cyprus's Plans to Open Varosha Beach Unacceptable

MOSCOW (REUTERS) - Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday it was seriously concerned by Northern Cyprus's plans to open Varosha beach, calling the decision to do so unacceptable.

Northern Cyprus said on Tuesday it will reopen the beach area of an abandoned resort in no-man's land, a move condemned by Greek Cypriots.

Varosha has been off limits along ceasefire lines to all but the Turkish military since 1974 and has stood as a bargaining chip in the decades-long dispute between Greek and Turkish Cypriots.

Famagusta is an eerie place or at least it was when I visited in 1984 whilst on honeymoon.

Just an exercise ... nothing to worry about. Russia testing someone perhaps

This week Russia and six other countries are carrying out a largescale military exercise called Kavkaz-2020 (Caucasus 2020). This exercise will take place predominantly in Russia’s Southern Military District, a region that stretches from Russian-occupied Crimea in the west, to the Caspian Sea in the east, and the volatile North Caucasus in the middle. Certain parts of the exercise will take place outside Russia’s borders as well.

While I am late to the party Kavkaz happens every four years. Next year people would discuss how Zapad-2021 is a pretext for invasion of Poland or something.
