A Congressional Amendment sponsored by Chris Pappas (D) of New Hampshire has passed. This Amendment would prevent the Biden administration from selling F-16 fighter jets to Turkey. The Biden administration can still get around this by suggesting that the sales to Turkey are in the interests of American national security.
As imperfect as this Amendment is it is still a sign of success and an indication that Greek American influence may be returning. The way to build on this success is for the Greek American leadership to turn its back on the Biden administration. It is clear that Biden is no friend to Greece and Cyprus.
The foreign policy establishment has demonstrated it has no real grasp of realities in the contemporary world. Biden is getting his instructions from Anthony Blinken and others at the State Department. Blinken and the others are unimpressive in terms of their diplomatic abilities and understanding of what is transpiring.
The commitment to Turkey by this administration is out of date by decades. The old Kemalist regime (itself far from compatible with American interests) is gone and will not be returning. The Trump administration while not perfect in regards to Turkey showed signs of breaking with the pro Turkish past. The Greece-Cyprus-Israel agreement to import gas to Europe was supported by the Trump administration.
Biden and his advisors (mostly Victoria Nuland) destroyed that agreement. Biden and his administration only see the world through their anti Russian hatred. They do not see the ugly reality that Turkey is.
The success of this Amendment looks promising for further successes. Aside from the fact that Biden will not be seeking a second term (or if he does he will lose to another Democrat), Biden has stabbed Greece and Cyprus in the back. The Greek organizations should completely ignore his administration and work with those members of Congress, the think tanks, and careerists in the foreign policy establishment to cut off all aid to Turkey.
Greece and Cyprus have not had a major success in America since the Congressional Arms embargo on Turkey after the invasion of Cyprus. Hopefully, those glory days of Greek America will return.
