Fotis S. Kokotos argued that the destruction of Russian boats deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. He wrote that they constituted the greatest threat to democracy in every country, as they caused social division and bolstered extreme parties and smaller political formations. https://t.co/5CXcl4HM8n #Ειρήνη #Δημοκρατία #Κοινωνία (translated)

Amalia wrote that if diplomacy had developed differently in late 1940 or early 1941, the Soviet Union could have attacked Greece while it was fighting Italy. She argued that the German-Soviet pact did not define spheres of influence in the Balkans and that Stalin was particularly interested in Bulgaria. According to her post, on November 25, 1940, Soviet diplomat Arkady Sobolev conveyed a proposal for an alliance in Sofia. Amalia stated that the USSR offered Bulgaria military support in case of threat, support for its territorial claims in Greek areas, non-interference in its internal politics, and free grain and oil. In return, she claimed, it sought to establish naval and air bases in Varna and Burgas, while Stalin asked Hitler to recognize Bulgaria as part of the Soviet sphere of influence. Amalia argued that the Comintern, in a message signed by Georgi Dimitrov, called on the Bulgarian Communist Party to mobilize politicians and the public in favor of the proposal. She estimated that Soviet support for Bulgarian claims would require an ultimatum to Greece and, in the event of refusal, an invasion by Soviet and Bulgarian troops. In the post, Hitler prevented the agreement, warning of a potential Sovietization of Bulgaria and promising the Bulgarians the same Greek territories without war. Amalia noted that King Boris rejected the Soviet proposal and that Bulgaria joined the Axis in March 1941. #Ιστορία #ΕλληνοϊταλικόςΠόλεμος #ΣοβιετικήΈνωση (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis told Mrs. Yamali that, according to recorded phone calls, the interested parties first called 166, even though there was no ambulance service there, and that the recordings documented a wait of 25 minutes. He accused her of presenting a misleading photo of an old, decommissioned ambulance instead of the one that was dispatched, and that she transmitted inaccurate information. He asked her to investigate the complaint before broadcasting it, noting that she could have contacted the mayor to verify which ambulance appeared. He requested an explicit denial and urged her to check what she had stated. He added that if she insisted on what he characterized as lies, he would use every available institutional means to defend the National Health System and the trust the public has in it. He clarified that he was not saying this as a threat, but to distinguish journalistic criticism from lying. #Δημοσιογραφία #ΕΣΥ #Αλήθεια (translated)

Nikos Appelaios II praised a man he did not name, saying that despite the mockery, slander, and threats he faced, he defended his homeland instead of accepting what, according to him, was offered to him and leaving. He claimed that for almost five years he has forced Russia to fight for every inch of land and that, while he is counterattacking, Donald Trump appeared to betray him. Appelaios said that the man had earned the respect of every honest and rational person and that History would remember him as an indomitable fighter and faithful defender of his homeland. For Vladimir Putin and Trump, he used derogatory terms, saying that History would record them as an invader and accomplice, whom he also referred to in a derogatory manner. #Πατρίδα #Ιστορία #Ελευθερία (translated)

The Shot Clock wrote that, in its opinion, Rogka Vopoulos' performance the previous day showed the ideal version of the role needed at PAO. It suggested he should play for 8-14 minutes, with selected attempts — even more than he had the previous day, among other things after screens — as a catch-and-shoot threat. It added that specific lineups could cover his defensive weaknesses and asked readers if they see him in PAO's rotation when everyone returns healthy. #ΠΑΟ #Ρογκαβοπουλος #Καλαθοσφαίριση (translated)

Nikos Apellaíos II responded to critics, using offensive terms, and referred to an interview given by Marco Rubio to Papachelas. According to his post, Rubio deemed the prospect of a Greco-Turkish conflict as "unthinkable" and stated that the U.S. would operate behind the scenes to prevent a potential crisis regarding the cable interconnection project with Cyprus. He also mentioned that the U.S. would emphasize to all parties the importance of the project for Washington. Regarding the Greek government's intention to procure advanced missiles for its F-35s, similar to those acquired by Israel, Rubio said, according to Apellaíos, that the issue was being examined by all U.S. agencies and that the final decision would be made by President Trump. Apellaíos noted that Rubio appeared positively inclined towards the prospect, praising the strategic relationship between Greece and the U.S. and Greece's role in the region "when the U.S. was threatened." #Ελλάδα #ΗΠΑ #Ελληνοτουρκικά (translated)

"We knew there might be a threat and why should we leave them there? It costs very little money to move them," U.S. President Donald Trump said yesterday, Monday, that the U.S. withdrew B-1 bombers stationed at the British military base Fairford due to a threat linked to Iran. #ΗΠΑ #Ιράν #Βρετανία (translated)

"There was never an issue of pressure or threat to our country to take any action." The visit of the American Secretary of State, Mr. Marco Rubio, to Greece "marks the historically high level" at which Greece and the United States' relations stand, emphasized the Minister of Environment and Energy, Mr. Stavros Papastavrou, speaking to ERTNEWS. #Ελλάδα #ΗΠΑ #Ενέργεια (translated)

Chris Avramidis wrote that he had repeatedly asked government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis if US Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle had said that the US could provoke political change in any country, including Greece. According to him, Marinakis had responded that there was no issue of threat, but he had not explicitly denied that the specific words were said. Avramidis mentioned that the Wall Street Journal had reported that Marinakis did not answer directly if Guilfoyle had referred to Romania as a precedent. He added that when he pressed with a related question, the government spokesman referred to his previous answers and eventually said he had nothing to add. He wrote that the matter had reached the US Congress: Gregory Meeks, chair of the Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, had sent a letter to Marco Rubio asking for answers regarding Guilfoyle's behavior. According to the Committee's statement, the allegation was that the ambassador had invoked Romania and said that the US could provoke similar political change in other countries, including Greece. Meeks was calling for her removal if the allegations were found to be accurate. Avramidis added that, according to journalist Thanasis Koukakis, there appeared to have been a process initiated to preserve records, so that any potentially useful evidence for future checks or investigations would not be destroyed. He mentioned possible records like emails, SMS, messages on apps, and meeting calendars, while noting that the relevant publication clarified that the process itself did not constitute prosecution or finding of illegality. Regarding Greece, he wrote that Minister Stavros Papastavrou had spoken in Parliament, where Alexandros Kazamias asked him if the controversial phrase had been said. According to Avramidis, the minister did not answer the question and referred to the performance of his ministry and the relations between Greece and the US. Avramidis also criticized the cost of American natural gas and concluded that it remained unanswered whether the specific words had been said. #Ελλάδα #ΗΠΑ #Πολιτική (translated)

The author argued that a system is needed to timely detect violations of protective measures and intervene before a threat escalates into an attack, rather than relying on whether the victim will have time to ask for help. He added that individual responsibility cannot be the solution for everything and described the panic button as insufficient. (translated)
