We saw that the Nazisraeli system can be overwhelmed by quantity- and guess who’s one of the foremost producers of drones in the region? Why it’s ole’ Türkiye, Greece’s archnemesis! Achilles Shield is right, lol
In case anyone thinks "archnemesis" is a hyperbole.

Considering Turkey carried out a genocide on the Greek people of Asia Minor I would hope nobody doubts that.
The foundational myth of Turkey revolves around the time Greece tried to genocide them immediately after forming from the ruins of the Ottomans, based on a (then) century old irredentist screed.

The last time this was seriously pushed has been a bit though, when a literal fascist junta overthrew Greek democracy after they didn't like an election.
That junta was the cause of the Cyprus crisis, after they planned to genocide the Turks living on the island and seize it entirely... And of course, after Turkey crushed those clowns, they immediately tried to seize Cyprus for themselves.
The point isn't that Turkey is innocent, the Pontic genocide might have been started by the Ottomans but Ataturk certainly didn't bother stopping it, it's that pretending they're the sole aggressor in this feud because of a century old crime with no attention paid to Greek reprisals is showing a very obvious, and very obviously sourced, bias.
