Isn’t Cyprus still caught between Greece and Turkey?
In 1974 Cyprus was divided de facto when the Turkish army occupied the northern third of the island. The Turkish Cypriots subsequently declared independence in 1983 as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus but were recognised only by Turkey. In 1985 the TRNC adopted a constitution and held its first elections. The United Nations recognises the sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus over the entire island of Cyprus.
I’ve now fallen down a rabbit hole of Cypriot modern history.
yes turkey will almost certainly veto it
If the US does end up dropping out of NATO and Europe keeps it as a military alliance, they should think about kicking Turkey out. It’s held on for geopolitical reasons that only the US really cares about. It’s otherwise been a problem child for decades.
I’d rather have the Turkish on our side against Russia rather than Cyprus if it comes down to it NGL
