REALITY CHECK

Submitted by Aretas (United States), Jun 1, 2006 at 00:11

While Turkey is attacking Greece the Kurds will wage a full scale insurgency that will cripple Turkey to its core. Islamists will cleanse the region of any secular supporters. The populace in will riot and a full scale revolution will occur.

The battle over the Aegean will be a bloody stalemate. Gaining nothing for Turkey.

Cyprus will see heavy fighting as both sides clash.

Bottom line: Motivated by freedom and survival the Greeks will defeat the Turkish military. Subdued at home Turkey will halt its offensive.
