If what I read on twitter is true, something good might be happening. The group “Anonymous” claims they are in fullscale cyberwar with russian forces and goverment. Sincerely hope it is true, that might help against this unlegal and unfair attack!
mitsotakis is everybody’s friend, didn’t even bother to make a gesture like banning the export of olive oil to Russia ,just in case real oil stops coming the other way, just hold on to the coat-tails of the EU and smile alot whilst hoping he receives real action and support when the Turks come-o-knocking, good luck with that , it will be the same old faces stepping up to the plate. You know the ones the EU are currently punishing for wanting to be a free democratic sovereign state .
And how is the owner of Skorpios these days?
