Israel, Greece, Cyprus Plot: 'Regional Stability' Code for 'Eliminating Competition'
Israeli air force brass recently huddled with Greek and Cypriot counterparts, cloaking their collaboration in the usual opaque diplomatic jargon. The stated goal? To 'curtail Turkey’s regional role,' framed as a move towards 'stability.' But let's be clear: 'stability' in this context often means 'maintaining our strategic advantage' by excluding rivals from newly discovered natural gas fields,
like the Leviathan and Aphrodite. This isn't newfound camaraderie; it's a calculated chess move in a contested region. This 'sideling' strategy isn't unique to Turkey; it’s a playbook frequently deployed against any nation challenging the established power dynamics. The media dutifully reports the meeting, but rarely delves into the history of disputed Exclusive Economic Zones or the billions at
stake in energy revenues. When powerful nations meet to 'coordinate,' it's rarely about peace, but about carving up spheres of influence and resource control, disguised as regional security initiatives. Funny how 'security' always seems to involve more weapons and less diplomacy.
