“Three policies that we should prioritize as a community: (1) help Greece upgrade its F-16 fleet by waiving substantial fees that go to the U.S. government; (2) review the F35 sales to Turkey and condition them to not allow Turkey to be even more aggressive in the Aegean and Mediterranean; and (3) provide all necessary diplomatic (and if necessary military) cover for Exxon to complete its cooperation with the Republic of Cyprus”.
In antiquity, Delphi was known as the Omphalos (navel/center) of the world. This mentality is something that modern Greeks – and many in our diaspora – have been only too happy to keep. If geopolitics can be characterized as a puzzle, instead of trying to figure out where Greece fits, we start with the assumption that Greece is in the middle. This assumption actually harms Greece, because it prevents the development of national strategies in Athens and Nicosia and proper advocacy agendas in the diaspora.
