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)

Nikos Boyiopoulos linked the anniversary of the liberation of Athens on October 12, 1944, with a conference and archaeological exhibition scheduled for October 15-17. He wrote that EAM, ELAS, and EPON liberated Athens from Nazi occupation at that time. Boyiopoulos argued that the titles and themes of the presentations downplayed the German occupation. He also criticized the event's poster, stating that it depicted a large Wehrmacht flag over the Acropolis, where, as he noted, Manolis Glezos and Lakis Santas had lowered the Nazi flag. He specifically referred to a presentation by a German historian, whose title linked the desire to be present when the flag was raised at the Acropolis with the horizons of imagination and the reality of the German occupation in Greece from 1941-1944/45. Boyiopoulos interpreted the title as an insinuation that aspects of the Nazi atrocities could be a product of imagination and connected his criticism to revisionist approaches regarding the 200 from Kaisariani. He characterized the event as a disgrace and emphasized that it was held under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Culture. As he mentioned, the conference was organized by the German Archaeological Institute of Athens (DAI), the Italian School of Archaeology, and the Institute of Historical Research/National Hellenic Research Foundation. #ΓερμανικήΚατοχή #Αθήνα #Ιστορία (translated)

Julia PD wrote that 82 years ago there was the liberation from the Nazis, which, according to her, is not honored because the ruling class wanted to erase the EAM. She mentioned Mimi as a well-known figure and described Kaiti as a fighter of the EAM, who in the following years went through Makronisos and Trikeri. For Spyros, she wrote that he was an actor, a member of the SES and the father of the poet Tito. https://t.co/pZOhUz3iZa #Απελευθέρωση #ΕΑΜ #Ιστορία (translated)

Christopher DeMorteau (Constantine Mortopoulos) wrote that on American television, where female breasts are banned from being shown, everyone would watch a clip of an execution. He predicted that the era of Trumpism and those he referred to as carnival versions would be recorded in the books of History, while those who had said foolish things would delete their tweets. He used a derogatory term for them. #Τηλεόραση #ΗνωμένεςΠολιτείες #Ιστορία (translated)

P.G. Papanikolaou wrote that on October 12, 1944, during the liberation of Athens, large crowds had taken to the streets to celebrate the departure of the Germans and to welcome the ELAS partisans. He argued that Greece was the only country that did not celebrate the liberation of its capital from Nazi occupation. He accused the PASOK and SYRIZA governments of not establishing a celebration, while he labeled the New Democracy as the political heir of the security battalions and said that the governments avoided displeasing Germany. Papanikolaou noted that Germany had about ten national anniversaries and holidays, including those for the reunification and unification of the country by Bismarck, as well as around fifty religious holidays. He also mentioned that the period from 1933 to 1945 did not have a corresponding national holiday in Germany and referenced the series "Dark" to explain his viewpoint. For the historical photograph, he mentioned that the tall man holding the flag and leading the demonstration was Mikis Theodorakis, representing Epon and EAM. #Απελευθέρωση #Ιστορία #Ελλάδα (translated)

Avgerinosx wondered whether Kyriakos Mitsotakis or Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was more dangerous for the Greeks. He argued that Mitsotakis chose to oppose Russia without reason, seeking to be on the "right side of history," and linked this policy to losses of 2 billion euros in tourism, a 751% increase in electricity, and a 40% increase in gasoline. He added that the US would eventually buy Russian oil, while Greece would procure more expensive LNG, resulting, according to him, in heating costs rising from 1,000 euros to 1,700–1,900 euros. He also mocked Mitsotakis's education at Harvard and referenced the Predator, concluding with an insulting remark about those who voted for him. #Τι_ψηφίσατε_ρε_μαλάκες #Μητσοτάκης #Ερντογάν #Ρεύμα (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis said that Mega, on Anastasia Yamali's show, presented a photo of an old, decommissioned ambulance from Kythnos, linking it to the death of a 62-year-old in a tavern. He argued that the vehicle in the photo was not the one that responded to the incident. Georgiadis mentioned that the ambulance arrived within 25 minutes, that the calls were recorded and available, and that the doctor had a defibrillator with her and provided oxygen. He added that the 62-year-old had a cardiac history and did not recover. Regarding the ambulance that attempted to respond, he said it had passed the technical inspection two months earlier, had new tires, and had just come out of service. He also mentioned that the mayor who put it on the ship confirmed that the vehicle was in good condition. The minister described the presentation of the photo as misinformation and stated that such publications undermine public trust in the National Health System. #Υγεία #Ειδήσεις #Παραπληροφόρηση (translated)

R•G•7 reported that his son, who would turn 10 in November and was attending the 5th grade, talked to him about F1 25, which he said was played by older students. After seeing the game's website and the PEGI 3 suitability rating, he asked Gemini for more information and expressed his surprise at the content. According to the description he provided, the game included races with teams, drivers, and tracks corresponding to real ones, career and team management features, a narrative storyline titled Braking Point 3, as well as online play or races with two players on the same screen. R•G•7 argued that the content warranted a rating for adults and not for children over the age of 3 years. He cited pit battles, driving at speeds over 200 km/h, and causing accidents without legal or insurance consequences, other than a penalty to the driver’s time. He added that, as described in the game, the police were not notified but a safety car appeared. He also mentioned that the communications in the pits contained, according to the description, strong curses and racist or misogynistic expressions. Connecting the reference to the speeds with traffic rules, R•G•7 wrote that speeds over 200 km/h incurred a fine of €2,000 and a one-year driving license suspension, with heavier penalties in case of reoffending. He expressed his opposition to the presence of such elements in a game with a PEGI 3 rating. #F1 #Formula1 #βιντεοπαιχνίδια (translated)

Crash☘️ wrote that the match depicted the clash of two different worlds and argued that there was no other derby in Greece. He mentioned that the encounter was linked to the history of Panathinaikos and the shamrock on the jersey, but also, after several years, to the pursuit of the championship. #paofc https://t.co/STrZfDowqQ #ποδόσφαιρο #Παναθηναϊκός #ντέρμπι (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis wrote that Pericles' Funeral Oration was delivered 2,500 years ago in Kerameikos and not at Pnyx, therefore he could not have heard it. He added that similar issues of geographical terms concerned the other speeches that had been mentioned and urged his interlocutor to stop, calling his references nonsense. #Ιστορία #Ελλάδα #Φιλοσοφία (translated)
