@nunyabiznes33 We hold a world record for coups during the 20th century alone (17 coup attempts to be morr precise) ... We are the only country that entered a civil war the very next day that the WW2 ended... We fought for independency against the Ottomans many times, and that one time we were close in succeeding we started yet another civil war... Can you Imagine starting a civil war right in the middle of the war for Independency you started? Hilarious right? Thank god the European powers helped us win in the end.. And these are only a few examples... I could go on and on about how this nation has tons of potential and it is wasted on fighting among ourselves...

@nunyabiznes33 It's not a separatist movement based on nationality.. No, they see themselves as Greeks, it is just they think their island is rich enough to sustain itself. Essentially, they view the taxes they pay to the government as a rip off and they want the wealth of the island to stay on the island.. And that's the main reason we Greeks fight among ourselves unless we face an existential threat my friend... It's all about who has the power, it's all about who has the money..... Greece is a nation where everyone aspires to be the shepherd and not the sheep... Which is of course impossible..

@noobsaibot7006 Greece could not possibly "invade" Ottoman Empire because Ottoman Empire held Greek territories... Unless you return back to the Steppes you came from, you will be morally beneath us no matter what you say you poor colonist.... End of discussion!

@theemperorofmankind7706 Yeap, after that he fled to France claiming he killed the "dictator"...... Greek idiocy at its finest... If only we could unite aginst our enemies ..
