> ". In an interestingly mixed signal, two Greek ships have reportedly escorted the Russian intelligence gathering ship Liman, since it passed the Black Sea straits." Thank you for providing the link. This is quite interesting, I monitor the Greek press and I have not seen this reported yet...If it is true it would be quite a strong signal of Greece's displeasure with the current Nato policy and escalation of the bombing. > Or how about this for Greek loyalty to NATO, "Another notable opponent to military action against Serbia is Russia, with whom Greece has become quite friendly. Russia has provided training for Greek pilots, and is selling Greece S-300 surface-to-air (SAM) missiles for deployment on behalf of Greek- dominated Cyprus. The planned sale of the S-300 missiles to Cyprus nearly sparked a war between Greece and Turkey, as Ankara vowed to destroy them before they could be deployed. Additionally, earlier this year the U.S. accused Greece of having supplied the Russians with NATO aircraft jamming codes. These codes would enable Russia to jam weapons guidance systems on NATO aircraft. While this allegation has yet to be proven, the mere fact that NATO secrets may have been compromised certainly casts doubt on Greek commitment to the West." Have you heard the phrase: "All politics are internal"? This is what is going on here...The Greek people are tired of empty promises and lies by the US administrations of solving the Cyprus problem and stoping the ever present Turkish provocations in the Aegean...It is a very fine line indeed to walk indeed. Tourist season is about to start, if bombs keep falling Greeks can forget about meeting the final Maastricht treaty criterion...It will be interesting to see what will be the repercussions against Greece
