A further thought: it is said that Greek Cyprus' talks with Russia have come to nothing.
The Russians must know that sooner or later they are going to lose their naval base at Tartus in Syria, about 150 miles east of Cyprus. If I were Russian, a naval base is what I would demand and if I were Greek that is what I would offer.
And this against a backdrop of the Americans pulling out of the Mediterranean because they expect Europe to conduct its own defences.
