If Iran invaded Turkey from the rear, would Greece help?

Turkey & Greece are members of NATO.

I think that was an anal sex joke.

Members they are indeed...however reluctant and at odds with each other!

If this was 1990 or earlier, Greece would probably invade Turkey (as would Syria and the Kurds would revolt too), resulting in a huge war. Nowadays I think it is very improbable, due to EU membership, high revenues from tourism that would be lost for many years due to war, improving trade etc.

PS. I am from Greece.

double [whoosh]!!! LOL!!!

Perhaps there should be a /humour in there somewhere to alert non-english speakers?

Only if everyone finds it humorous.

Well, there's jokes and then there's bad jokes, but sometimes even bad jokes are kinda funny.

Turkey historicaly has very bad relations with almost all of its neighbours, and for many years has an ongoing guerilla war with the Kurds. It is widely thought that if Turkey went into a big war with any of its neighbours the rest of them would intervene. In fact PKK tried to stimulate this, and had talks with Syrian, Persians and Greeks for that purpose. Btw, we are way off topic here!

Hi Costas,

I appreciate hearing firsthand accounts and perspectives. Hopefully, humanity will make every effort to bring peace to our troubled times, and avoid resource wars as we face fossil fuel decline.

Here are some groups making the effort:

If not Greece and Turkey then how about Chile?

Either way China will be needed.

But what will Delaware?

That's easy: a New Jersey.

I'm not so sure. That's not what Arkansas. I think that's what she said, I'll go back and Alaska.

Where will Mary Land ?
