They’re cops, that’s what they do

Zero tension? Between 1922 and 1952?

LMAO okay. Because the Greeks weren’t shitposting about the Megali Idea even when they were social democrats.

And they definitely aren’t still doing it kek

Sure lmao

Turkey isn’t a signatory on UNCLOS which is why they don’t care what a treaty they didn’t sign says.

I always find these little one-sided presentations of grievances interesting

You’re confusing Cyprus conflicts. You might want to read your own link.

The Emergency was Cypriot guerillas fighting to end British colonial status.

The Turkish invasion was in 1974, after the fascist Greek junta that had just couped their own coup government tried to annex Cyprus with, you guessed it, a coup. The Turkish justification was that it was defending Turkish Cypriots from the Greek junta which, okay, why’d you keep the territory then?

The conflict collapsed the Greek junta btw, which is why Greece is a democracy again.

They needed extra knobby ones

I mean it could absolutely be submissive in behavioral but I think we can assume it wasn’t

“It doesn’t count when you’re just invading your neighbors”

Uh huh.

I still laugh when I think about Landlord Justifier 3.

The real shame about the Fable setting is there were some great designs in the franchise, bogged down by mediocre combat and some real weird plot points

Sentience check

Surprisingly so tbh.

Get good kid

TIL Tim Sweeney doesn’t know what gatekeeping is

Valyrian steel can kill white walkers, and that Needle is made of it gets brought up repeatedly when Martin is reminding the readers of where all the known Valyrian steel swords are.

Funny how it only happened after the illegal act of war then

You don’t train someone as an assassin and specifically give them a sword made of the metal that kills Night Kings if you don’t plan on them killing a Night King, first off. It’s also the exact kind of reversal of expectations for conflict resolving that Martin loves and, on the topic, I think the reason we’re never getting his ending is because it’s clear that this was his ending and people hated it.

As for her character arc and revenge, that’s the thing, it’s not revenge, it’s her duty as a Stark. By your own reasoning using her new skills in this way instead of going after the Lannisters or whoever is the inevitable conclusion.

Also, being what he is, I fully expect the leader of the Others in the book to get called a Night King/Night’s King if by some miracle he does actually publish the rest of the series. Yeah there’s all that stuff about that being a historical figure but it’s also the kind of name that becomes a title in its own right.

But, all that said, at this point only Martin really knows what his intentions are and were.
