Europäische Verteidigungs- und Sicherheitspolitik

[Schneemann]

Im Vorfeld ein klarer moderativer Hinweis, um die Meldung auch einordnen zu können: Bei jenem hier nachfolgend zitierten Medium handelt es sich um ein stramm rechtes bzw. erzkonservativ-christliches Medium aus den USA. (Das im Übrigen normal recht wenig für Deutschland übrig hat.)

Da ich diese Art des Stimmungsbildes dennoch interessant fand (und ich stöbere gerne durchaus auch in grenzwertigen Bereichen) - vermutlich sieht man uns bei diesen "hochchristlichen" Schreiberlingen als Abkömmlinge des vormaligen Heiligen Römischen Reiches und auf dem Weg zu einem neuen Kreuzzug gen Orient (und die Abneigung gegenüber dem Commonwealth ist noch größer als uns gegenüber) -, verlinke ich es aber ausnahmsweise einmal.

Cyprus Has Become a German Military Base [...]

Germany sent additional troops to Cyprus on October 21, following last week’s deployment of special forces to the island. This comes after Cyprus’s joint military drills with France, Italy and Greece and its commitment to strengthen ties with the European Union. Cyprus’s EU membership has pushed Britain out of the strategic island and let Germany in.

“Now that Britain has left the EU, its vital military bases in Cyprus are at the mercy of a Greek Cypriot regime drunk on the political leverage handed to it by Brussels,” Politics Today noted on October 11. The author suggested using the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to ensure Britain’s military bases don’t fall into the hands of the EU, but Cyprus currently has no interest in NATO. [...]

When Cyprus faced serious economic trouble in 2013, “Germany blocked Russia from getting involved, and stepped in to offer a bailout package—with tough conditions,” Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry wrote. “Cyprus accepted. Thus, the EU became the de facto ruler of Cyprus. … And since Germany is Europe’s largest economy and put up the largest share of the money, Germany became the real power in Cyprus.” [...]

Military ties have also grown. For 17 years, German troops have been stationed in Cyprus as part of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Cyprus looked to Germany for security. On May 3, 2022, Cyprus and Germany signed their first Bilateral Defense Cooperation Program, which includes joint military exercises.
