    The French and British does not ignore history, they specifically used it to created decisions to create a dependency on them and crush the promise of a united Arab state following the demise of the ottoman empire

      Even though it was tactical, fuck them still for betraying us. Most of the chaos in the middle east is caused by the french and british.

        Yeah they were pure evil for that. I don’t know if evil is strong enough a word for causing generations of pain and conflict on purpose.

          Cyprus had a Greek and Turkish identifying population for centuries. Turkiye only occupied the northern half when the Greek fascist dictators at the time helped the Greek Cypriot fascists stage a coup and planned to have Greece annex all of Cyprus and ethnically cleanse the Turkish identifying people.

          The UK were supposed to prevent that as the arbitrating security guarantor for previous Cyprus agreements, but being the cunts they are, they didnt do shit, even after Turkiye invited them to action.

          The conflict at large is not Cyprus vs. Turkiye but Greece vs. Turkiye, as part of the eternal battle over yogurt with honey bragging rights.
