Alexander Itimoudis argued that Greece had entered a period of reorganization of its military machine due to the increased threat from Turkey. He linked the effort to rationalize tax collection with the need to fund the development of the Greek defense industry. According to him, Turkey had a larger military industry and continued to invest in it, even at the expense of its citizens' living standards. He mentioned that the external debt of the two countries was 590 billion and 564 billion respectively, but that Turkey's debt corresponded to a smaller percentage of GDP due to its larger economy. He added that a country must be able to mobilize resources, borrow, and produce military material to respond to a potential conflict. Itimoudis stated that since Greece was still not competing with Turkey in numbers, it was investing in qualitative force multipliers. These included the Air Force and Navy, satellite data, and system interoperability through the "Achilles Shield," digitization in Belhara frigates and F-35s, exercises with Israel and Egypt, as well as cooperation in the field of intelligence with Israel and the acquisition of systems such as Spike NLOS and Spice. He also emphasized that, in his opinion, a country should be able to transfer expertise between the political sector and the military industry. He argued that Greece remained trapped in small businesses that were not innovative and in economic activities such as catering and tourism, which he deemed inadequate for resource mobilization in the event of a conflict. According to Itimoudis, Greece's actions since 2019 aimed to address the growing power disparity with Turkey. He said that rapid structural changes were required but faced intransigence both within and outside the state, and he urged readers to calmly confront what they heard and read, arguing that it did not reflect the actual situation. #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία #ΠολεμικήΒιομηχανία (translated)

Alexis Tsipras stated that the Greek Left Coalition (EL.AS.) was created within society and not in Parliament or behind closed party doors. He said that the effort continued with its own forces, without state funding and with meetings all over Greece. He claimed that the creation of EL.AS. overturned plans and that the need for its establishment was becoming increasingly apparent. He described the rising costs as an "invisible memorandum" that, he said, burdened expenses on fuel, food, and living, primarily affecting those who were not favored. He added that the government's narrative about stability and a third term was not convincing. Tsipras said that EL.AS. was facing attacks, which it would meet calmly, and that its goal was to address the problems of Greek society and propose alternative solutions. He characterized the government as its only opponent, accusing it of creating the problems. Referring to the meeting of the Political Committee, he said the message was for EL.AS. to continue with its own political identity and clear program, aiming for a progressive government with itself as a core. He called for the creation of a winning current and stated that the effort would focus on combating corruption, inequalities, rising costs, and uncertainty. #ΕΛΑΣ #Αριστερά #Πολιτική (translated)

"I will not do Mr. Mitsotakis the favor of dealing with him, instead of engaging with the continuous attacks of Mr. Androulakis," claimed Alexis Tsipras, adding that "we were born to be the opponent and the alternative pole against the ND in our political system. We have filled this gap. We have not cooperated with ND in government." #ΕΛΑΣ #ΠαΣοΚ #Τσίπρας (translated)

Dumlada referred to an incident between the coach of the Greek national team and one of its players, while the two were rivals at the club level. He argued that this showed why a coach should not simultaneously take on the national team and a club from the specific league. #paokbc https://t.co/OLixi0TUbw #μπάσκετ #ΕθνικήΟμάδα #προπονητής (translated)

Veron wrote that he was looking forward to the return of the championship and the derby between Panathinaikos and Olympiakos. He appreciated that the three-week break for the national teams likely benefited Olympiakos, as the players who stayed behind had time to work, while the team, as he said, viewed the match as an important opportunity for a competitive and communicative "return." Regarding Panathinaikos, he mentioned that the break may have affected their rhythm and streak, but that the retention of several key players might have had a positive effect. He added that the team seemed to be expecting a strong reaction from Olympiakos and wanted to play their own game, rather than adjust to the opponent. He acknowledged that this approach had risks but said that this is how teams gain identity. Finally, he noted that everyone at the club really wanted the win, but that it was important to consider the long-term impact of the result, and expressed his faith in "Nistoupism" and the team. #Πρωτάθλημα #Ντέρμπι #Ολυμπιακός (translated)

Mr. President wrote that the legend of South Melbourne Hellas, Alan Davidson, had said that he would die for the Greeks even the next day. According to the post, Davidson, who was of Japanese descent, grew up in difficult circumstances in Australia and found love, acceptance, and family in the Greek community. Mr. President also mentioned that his son, Jason, was an opponent of his father's favorite team in the final of the Australian Cup, describing the story as an example of the Hellenism of the diaspora and the power of football. #Ελληνισμός #Ποδόσφαιρο #Διασπορά (translated)

Tsibos wrote that Panathinaikos BC had imposed itself on Fenerbahce in the same way that, according to him, it had dominated its opponents in previous years, utilizing its size, toughness, and defense with substitutions. He added that some had forgotten how great a player NHD was and wondered if the participation times of all 12 players could be published, without attributing the difference to the opponent being weak or that the match was decided early. #basketball #παράγοντας #αθλητισμός (translated)

"You are an enemy, you are worse than Basaev!" She was persistent and fearless, and once when she interviewed the then leader of the pro-Russian Chechen rebels, Ramzan Kadyrov, who has been the powerful leader of Chechnya since 2007, he shouted at her, "You are an enemy, you are worse than Basaev!" (Basaev was a Chechen separatist, an opponent of Kadyrov, who was killed in 2006) #Πολιτκόφσκαγια #Ρωσία #Τσετσενία (translated)

I looked at 760 halves from last year... 12 times a team scored 0 points in a half. 5 out of those 12 times the opponent was #olympiacosbc. R8, R30, R33, R37, R38. And one more in the F4 for a cherry on top. #paobc #paobc #basketball #sport #statistics (translated)
