🔴 Hagia Sofia's imperial gate was vandalized

🔸 the Association of Art History in a post on Twitter complains that: "We found that the historic Imperial Gate of Hagia Sophia is in this condition and we photographed it, around 20:45 tonight (18.04.2022)"

/GBG/

🟢 After the public outrage caused by the images, Turkish authorities rushed to denounce the vandalism acts and promise that the perpetrators would be identified. Sadly as it is a Greek-made monument very little effort will likely be made to protect the monument and to identify or bring to justice those who caused such vandalism

🟢 "Oh noes, nobody expected Turks to be disrespectful towards a Christian monument after converting it into a mosque as a show of force and to disrespect its status once more" said the naive European and EU politicians

🔴 Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu talked about how Turkey acted while the world was busy worrying about the pandemic

🔸 "Do you know what we did when we could not find ourselves because of the pandemic? If there is gas in the eastern Mediterranean, we have made claims on its ownership, as well as taken steps to be able to show the world our power, without fear of anyone" he said.

🔸 Soylu is considered Erdogan's right arm and was at one point seen as the man who could take his place

Georgios Karaiskakis' (Greek General during the Greek Revolution), answer to Mehmet Resit Pasha asking him to surrender. Held at the Museum of Art and Technology of Epirus. The translation of the letter:

Keratsini 20 April 1827

To Mehmet Resit Pasha

From Athens,

"Fuck you and your faith and Mohamed. What did you think, you cuckolds.. you should be ashamed to ask us sign a treaty with such a shitty Sultan Mahmud. I shit on him and your vezir and that Jew silihtar Boda, the whore. If I survive I will fuck you up. If I die, you can fart on my nuts." *

General
Georgios Karaiskakis

*(Greek idiom that means I don't care)

Note: His vocabulary is obscene. It was however the language the Greek revolutionaries used on a daily basis in the first 25 years of the 19th century, in a poor but also revolutionary Greece.

This letter shows the way of thinking of a genuine representative of the generation of Greek revolutionaries of 1821, but also the anti-Turkish sentiment at the time.

Uruguayan Foreign Minister Francisco Bustillo summoned the Turkish Ambassador to Uruguay to Palacio Santos after the gestures that his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Chavuolu made to the Armenian community of Uruguay.

“Uruguay cannot accept threats and provocations of this kind,” said the head of the Armenian Committee of Uruguay (Colectividad Armenia del Uruguay) Ari Chamlian.

@ARTSAKHPUBLIC

The day after the 107th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, the genocide monument in Brussels was desecrated by gray wolves. They painted three red crescent moons on the khachkar, and left the inscription “fuck Paylan".

🔴 Greek Government: "Illegal immigrants in camps have decreased by 70.5% since 2019"
>https://archive.ph/MqPlJ

🔸 The article cites numbers of illegal immigrants entering Greece in 2015 (874,735), 2019 (92,838) and says that today there are only 27,396 illegal immigrants in camps. Neither the article nor the government specify what happened to the illegals who left the camp, so it is important to point out that there are two ways of officially leaving the camps.
1) Getting the Asylum visa
2) Getting deported

🔸 Given the current political structure in Greece and its government, its far more likely that the illegal immigrants who left the camps did not leave Greece at all and instead received their visas, from there, many left for Germany or other European countries but many still stayed in the country

🔸 Turkish businessmen opened a nightclub next to the Temple of Athena in Attaleia. It was built on private property, but they used the historic ruins as the entrance

🔸 The bar, named "Apollo" opened on 02/05/2022. According to the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, the wooden railings that had been installed to protect the temple, which dates back to 150 AD, were removed the day before the inauguration

🔸 The areas visited by locals and tourists were closed with metal plates, while at the entrance, a red carpet was laid, so that customers would not have difficulty walking on the dirt with the ruins. Also, in front of the old door, a metal detector was placed and a reception built

🔸 Tourists report being denied entry by security after they tried to enter thinking it was a museum

🔴 Smuggling ship sank northwest of the Greek island of Kos with 106 illegal immigrants on board
>https://archive.ph/Xaaw1

🔸 The ship was carrying 106 illegal immigrants from Turkey to Europe. 72 men, 14 women, 20 children of various nationalities. Their sailing boat was semi-submerged and was spotted, the Greek Coast Guard along with private boats in the area rescued all 106 illegals.

🔸 As per usual every illegal immigrant was taken to the hospital

/GBG/

🟢 What happens after the illegals are taken to the hospital is no secret. NGOs will instruct them and assist them to apply for Asylum, granting them stay in Greek immigrant camps while their Asylum applications are yet to be evaluated, which might take up to a year and they usually re-apply. Incidents like these happen on a weekly basis and many smuggling gangs posting videos prove that the border crossings have not been reduced as the government claims

The U.S. and Germany demand that Greece give Ukraine about 130 BMP-1s from the Greek army

Ukraine may receive more than a hundred BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles from the Greek army if Washington and Berlin persuade Athens. According to the Greek press, the U.S. and Germany have significantly increased pressure on the Greek government.

According to the available information, the United States and Germany want to transfer 130 BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles from the Greek Armed Forces to Ukraine, as well as Soviet-made air defense systems in service. They are talking about S-300, Tor-M1 and Osa-AK air defense systems. In the last two weeks the pressure on Athens has only increased.

According to Efimerida ton Syntakton, the Greeks have managed to reject the insistent demands of the Americans and Germans under the cover of the Turkish threat. But only temporarily in the case of the antiaircraft systems. As for infantry fighting vehicles failed, the United States and Germany have demanded from Greece to give Ukraine about 130 BMP-1, instead of which the Germans promised to supply BMP Marder 1A5 from the stock of the Bundeswehr. However, Athens has not yet made a final decision.

Why does the U.S. interfere in the affairs of European countries and try to make them its colonies?

Part 1/2
Europe is one of the largest consumer markets for American products, from the military industry all the way to basic goods and entertainment. So it is understandable that the U.S just as any other country that has its economy revolving around its industry would want to secure a big source of income. Many times trying to interfere with the internal markets of European countries (source here)

Sadly, the EU has also become dependent on countries such as Turkey and China. Turkey in itself is Europe's china, being in it's eternal accession process (on purpose) so that it can participate in the common market with low taxes but not abide to EU labor laws, thus having both cheap labor and tributary benefits that lets them outcompete most small EU countries. Germany's largest economic partner is also Turkey

The current alternatives for Europe are either anti-European nations such as Turkey which in 2017 cheered when Erdogan said that Europeans across the world would not be safe walking the streets if Turkey was sanctioned (Source here) or China

In regards to colonies, the EU itself is set up in a way that most countries have become German colonies in the sense that Germany has exerted massive influence not only economically but also politically. The "open market" idea of the EU prevents countries from protecting their inner markets and industries, making it easier for countries with large production and low costs such as France and Germany to nearly monopolize many sectors, rendering smaller countries almost completely dependent on them

Geopolitically, the EU itself is in a very bad moment, with most countries realizing the excessive powers of the EU as well as their lack of self sufficiency. Globalist and "progressive" ideologies have reached extreme levels in Europe, with regulations that restrict speech and target right wing ideologies while also pushing for the destruction of European identity and culture. All of these are very present in the wealthiest countries in Europe many of which have a strong influence over the European Parliament

For example, Germany was one of the main culprits for the 2015 immigration crisis, taking in millions of arabs and demanding other countries to "share the burden" after it backfired.
Germany, Sweden, France, Belgium and many other member states have talked many times about having no culture of their own, need for multiculturalism or simply denouncing their own cultures as bad and today many countries in Europe have hundreds if not thousands of "no-go" zones. Forced prostitution, grooming gangs, group rape, terrorist attacks, grenade explosions and many other horrible things have all become rather common and not even shocking for most Europeans, their governments not only deny it but some go as far as to protect these criminals.

A good question to ask is: Is there real sovereignty in Europe?

With or without U.S influence, Europe is heading towards a very dark path, decades of nearly utopic living conditions have made Europeans soft and weak. The EU gave up its guns, self defense is nearly illegal in most of EU countries, gave up free speech and allowed governments to grow far too much. To the point that most people (the average European) developed almost a natural reflex of thinking the government should take care of even more things, or call the police when anything is necessary, often times using some form of pseudo-moralism to justify being cowards and obeying rules that work against themselves

Part 2/2
For Greece, the U.S presence is not as bad as it seems. Sadly many ports in Greece were sold to China, including Piraeus. The EU also refuses to sanction Turkey which constantly threatens Greece and violates international law, because as it was said before, Turkey is Europe's china and sanctioning Turkey would directly affect Germany the most. American bases in Greece provide some (very small) sense of security that Europe otherwise does not provide and it can be noted by how much the Turkish government and media complain about it (Source here).

American influence varies a lot from region to region, it all depends on how much interest they have on something. If Europe had a lot of oil to be exported, the Americans would probably be doing some cold-war-era operations to topple governments. The largest effect of American influence in Europe is most likely the americanization and cultural decay of Europe

Lately with the Ukrainian war, cancel culture fueled politics has made the U.S demand that Europe does it's bidding, from demanding that "aid" be sent to Europe to demanding that countries send their military equipment FOR FREE to be used in Ukraine, in particular, Germany and the U.S have been pressuring Greece and Cyprus (Source here) to transfer their BMP-1's and air defense systems to Ukraine which would make Greece vulnerable to Turkey. Emotional arguments are being used to justify sending billions to Ukraine and even your own armaments and justify sanctions that have created a global crisis and might lead to a greater conflict

It is very hard to say who's worse. On one side it would be better to have only Europeans meddling in European affairs, ideally restricted to their own countries only, but it seems like if left to their own devices, Europeans would cause even more damage to themselves than they already are. A complete change in how the EU operates and how European society thinks would need to happen for U.S influence to be considered inherently bad
