In a clear admission of pressure on the Mitsotakis government, former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken acknowledged pushing for the passage of the same-sex marriage bill in our country, which sparked fierce reactions in Parliament and Greek society.
The role of the Biden government, or "Baidénopoulos" as some liked to call it, seems, once again, to have been suspicious and destructive.
Suspicious, due to the many maneuvers and pressures on the Greek government, not only regarding the LGBT+ bill in Greece but also concerning its stance toward Turkey.
The rampage of the Turks in the Aegean, the provocations with the "Blue Homeland," the Athens Agreement that gave a free pass to Erdogan, and the challenges on the ground are primarily the work of Mr. Blinken.
When the bilateral defense agreement between Greece and the US was signed, our country received virtually no compensation in relation to what the US gained in our country, and there was no substantial guarantee for the territorial integrity of our nation.
Blinken's pressures on the Greek government also relate to our country's overall stance on the Ukrainian issue, the military aid we sent, including ammunition, etc.
Our country, according to many experts at the time, stood on the right side of history, but unfortunately, this wasn't entirely true, as we had no interest in getting involved in a Russo-Ukrainian conflict, where even our bitter enemies, the Turks, were not involved—selling weapons to Ukraine and cooperating with the Russians at the same time.
The result today is a divided society, with our Armed Forces struggling to cope with Turkey's massive arms program, while simultaneously being provoked in Kasos and Crete, without giving substantial weight to these challenges.
The job of the former US Secretary of State and the deep American state was, once again, supportive of Erdogan's neo-Ottoman plans against Greece and Cyprus, which we may assume was pressured for a two-state solution by the same American leadership.
The US has never truly supported Hellenism in relation to the authoritarian Turkey, which threatens the Americans, collaborates closely with Putin, and runs Syria with the Jihadists.
All of this is mere small print for the technocrats at the US State Department, who had their own plans, which were shattered by the Trump hurricane.
