NOR does it present a laundry list of “vague” demands. Also, you’ll hear us quoting @stevenacook’s description of “Neither Friend Nor Foe,” so your charge that the campaign is just tagging 🇹🇷 as an “enemy” is similarly way off.
You restate the case that those who want to trade F-16s solely and entirely for Sweden’s accession and seem to be making zero effort to present the opposing view. That is your right - and clearly your choice - but to throw around the epithet “dumb” is pretty disingenuous here.

“Politics stops at water’s edge” is a famous saying in 🇺🇸 foreign policy. Clearly this is NOT a principle for SYRIZA.
They are deliberately misrepresenting the NDAA and hoping to mislead a Greek public that isn’t familiar with the nuances of the American legislative process.

They are also tragically regurgitating Turkish talking points by assigning responsibility for the #NoJetsForTurkey campaign to the Mitsotakis government. #Nonsense.
