  1. It seems like your command was planning to resist Turkish forces, just stupid if you ask me. There was no way on Earth Turkish military could allow hostile forces remaining inside a Turkish base even if they were God's angels. So the smart action would be either evacuate the base or make sure Turkish command knew you weren't going to resist. The entire Cyprus crisis could be avoided easily if US government wasn't so sure about 'Turks bluffing' and tried to find a solution instead. Turkish government warned them like half a dozen times both in UN and NATO, even went to UK and offered them a joint operation plan which was refused. This was also why British government was also warning there was going to be an operation but Americans were still so sure it was just a bluff. You force us until we have to act then crying Turks did this, Turks did that. It is a loop happening even today somehow without learning anything from history. You might feel like you have to support Greece, Cyprus etc only because they are Christians but we will never accept it you know. There was a right wing coup happened and they were actively targeting Turkish Cypriots, it was war regardless who the heck was supporting them. At least US government decided to stay kinda neutral and didn't escalate it further. I'm really glad US presence in our country is very small these days as you never had any intentions protecting our country. You are always so quick to claim Turkey doesn't support NATO fully but somehow you don't question at all if NATO supports Turkey fully, right? As a full NATO member there shouldn't be even a question and US should had supported Turkey fully against not a NATO member Cyprus especially while they had ties with soviets but ofc we haven't ever been a full NATO member in your eyes. Just stay away from our country, we still have allies in NATO like Italians, Spanish and British who have units like Patriot batteries inside our country for purely defending us. So we won't leave NATO but US isn't one of our allies anymore..
