The article mentions they already have another bill drafted before thats in effect thats essentially the same, what gives?

This could be a blessing in disguise so maybe it'd deter these monarchies from buying arms and militarising, but who am i kidding they'll still blow their money on useless toys.

quote:

ANKARA/NICOSIA (Reuters) - Northern Cyprus said on Thursday it would reopen the beach area of an abandoned resort in no-man’s land, a move likely to anger Greek Cypriots and conjure up memories of the 1974 Turkish invasion that partitioned the island.

Ersin Tatar, premier of the breakaway state of Northern Cyprus, made the announcement in Ankara alongside Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, who said he backed the decision on Varosha, sealed off within barbed wire for decades.

The move could weigh on Turkey’s dispute with European Union members Cyprus and Greece over territorial rights in the Eastern Mediterranean. Tensions had eased after Ankara and Athens agreed to resume talks.

“God willing, we will start to use the Maras beach on Thursday morning together with our people,” Tatar said, using Varosha’s Turkish name. Northern Cyprus is only recognised as a state by Turkey.

“We hope that the whole of Maras is opened to use after ongoing work is completed by respecting property rights,” Erdogan said, pledging support for Turkish Cypriot officials.

As if there hasn’t been enough strife in the region this is also happening.

Shouldnt Greeks be glad that Turkey invaded Cyprus because it's directly the reason why they're a democracy after years of fascist military rule. I'd be glad someone kicked my military fascist dictator so hard he quit ruling.

Nothing would make me happier right now than a massive military humiliation of every arab dictatorship especially the egyptian one so that there can be some way of getting rid of them.

Looking around, this mainly seems like a colour revolution collapsing in on itself a decade later because the former president and his anointed heir, the current president, had a massive falling-out and each convinced half the country that the other guy was a corrupt, murderous monster (with, it has to be said, a certain degree of evidence). So, not really an ideological dispute per se, just two guys who hate each other and brought the country with them.

I think the point was that all the mines are getting attacked except the Canadian one for some reason. Canadian Intelligence Agency shenanigans maybe?

Didnt they also missile attack an Iraqi base and give like hundreds of U.S. soldiers brain injuries?

But yeah, point taken, i mean, even while it crumbles in a lot of ways the U.S. is still the most dominant military power in the world and Iran is just Iran.
