The soldiers get like 500 dollars a month in wages That's why it adds up
Dominic Mitchell
Are modern greeks still as based as were ancient greeks? Can I cheer for them because of sparta and athenes being awesome back then? Or are they just as much roach as turkey?
Nathaniel Ross
They bought a shit-load of German equipment before their economy popped -- veritable budget write-offs.
The poo packers have the best-equipped military in the EU (behind the Germans).
Probably the German taxpayer financing the security of the Greek-Israeli gas pipeline. You didn't think that closing the greek border was about protecting the european people, r-r-r-right?
Fun fact: the competing Turkstream pipeline ends right next to Evros
The elites as usual. There are no borders for them and they own these mercenaries.
All fake and gay

Greece constantly gets gibs from Germany to boost the economy. But they spend this money for submarines and leopard 2 tanks instead .
Justin Ramirez
Aw why? I'm an explosives expert, I am trained in several canons, rifles, guns, can shoot down airplanes, sink warships and submarines. I wanna kill Jamals, change rules nao.
Cooper Phillips
standing army (500000 reserves) + modern main battle tanks + modern fighter jets >>Will be adding F35 fighter squadrons If you could get all that for only 800 million, you got a good fucking deal.
Ryder Walker
Better use of taxpayer momey than Merkel spending it on more gibs for nogs and muzzies
Henry Sanders
Do you have conscript army?
Nathaniel Gomez
Greece has the right idea of asking for gibs to bolster the only thing that matters i.e. the military.
They are right the fuck next to Turkey, what do you think?
Literally the 2nd biggest army in Europe if you count Turkey or 3rd if you count Russia.
Connor Clark
>best-equipped military in the EU >Germany user, I...
Ian Allen
apply for citizenship? maybe some greek can help you with it.
And you think they can do whatever with the (fake) money? Ofcourse they are told to buy some german goods.... this too
Christopher Gonzalez
We also have13 frigates 11 submarines 35 patril boats 4 mine ships
>Brainlet "Notably, Greek state television channel ERT refers to the EastMed project as a “protective shield against Turkish provocations.”" An Israeli Pipeline, that suppies 4% of EU gas is a protective shield against Turkey... only in clown world
Brainlet you don't know what you are talking about Do you even know who singed the first deal to get acces ro the pipe? Let me shool you It was Energean a greek oil company that has license to gas on israel then there is also all the gas from greek cyprus that will also flow to tge pipe and at the end greek gas from create that has been licensed to exxon mobil total and hellenic petroleum The only loser here is russia and this is why they chimped out and do a price war
As an insider I can tell you, its a max of 100k standing military personnel in all 3 branches of the army. Reserves dont cost a thing. Adding F-35 is a joke. Way too expensive and not suited to our needs. Its basically a stealth bomber. Sucks ass in dogfights. Most permanent personnel pours its own fucking money back into the army. I spend about 10% of my own wage every month for the needs of my soldiers and my own gear. Lots of reserves do it as well.
Aw fuck, bad memories from when I just started in the marines. My AG3 jammed during training, the enemies were flooding us, and we had markers that said who got shot. When it jammed, I didn't know what to do, so I asked the marine hunter "navy seal" officer what I should do now. He said: "Make shooting noices, I have no time for you right now". So I go "RATAATATATA! BANG BANG!" like a fucking retard, the soldiers by my side shooting blanks broke down laughing, I just hope no one remembers that autism period of mine.
You are aware that Israel and Turkey are energy partners, right? They both support the Qatar-Turkey pipeline that was supposed to go through Syria. Why do you think they wanted Assad's government to be defeated?
Thomas Cook
>The poo packers have the best-equipped military in the EU (behind the Germans) The german tax payer money is gifted to 70% of the other EU countries so they can pay for a strong military to fight "german" "agression" while the german military is being destroyed.... Dude it is as if enemies of "germany" are making the decissions for "germany". Really makes you think....
>Sucks ass in dogfights. That's a myth, in the training operation, the F35 killed the enemy jets in 25 out of the 25 missions, they were far superior than any other jet.
Jackson Rivera
Even in the US military people pay out of pocket for extra stuff.
There was fund raisers done in the US to send body armour and armour plates to soldiers as gift packages as inadequate armour was given to the soldiers.
Yes families were literally buying body armour and plates from stores and sending it to their son or father overseas to Iraq/Afghanistan
Andrew Baker
Part of the bailout deal couple years ago was buying subs and planes from Germany/France.
Carter Torres
Somebody else has been propping up Greece's everything forever, it's whythe country doesn't work very well, all greeks figure everything is someone else's problem. Look at Greece's borders and situation, they've had outsiders funding and running the place for all of living memory, there's no secret there.
Kayden Cook
>Israel and Turkey are energy partners turkey is against the israeli-greek-cypriot gas/oil project.
Ian Harris
This. And then we bailed them out three times; the money never to be seen again. Spartan's honour.
Sebastian Cox
That's pretty funny user.
Aaron Jones
Its the logistics. With the same money we can get more jets and sufficient maintanance. F-35 is overpriced. Sure we would get it if it was free.
Owen Barnes
>Why do you think they wanted Assad's government to be defeated? Because Assad is a british dentist and they don't wan't to give money to the british? We wuzz the real Israelites and shiit...
We will never know because all Media incl. the chans are tools of pleb suppression!
Ian Baker
He is a brainlet we are even upgrading our f-16s to Viper version for something like 2 billion so they would be linked with the f35 that will act as a stealth radar for them
Caleb Ross
Yeah, triple that and we're fine.
Except we haven't taken bailouts since 2018.
Colton Jenkins
I don't know, Njal. It's a constitutional thing. Plus you wouldn't lose much. Us grunts never got to train on the fancy gear or do the cool exercises. Plus I dont see us going to war with the Memets anymore, except if they come over first. Highly improbable sadly.
Wyatt Fisher
Yep. Nowadays its 9 months per conscipt or 14 months as an NCO. Very short and inadequate time. My father did two and a half years 30 years back.
Anthony Gray
Better pay up if you wanna have the right to call your union European™
The hard work of the people is funding the military of our Greek brothers.
No, I'm just fucking with you. It's the EU, the fag nation can barely get off it's ass to do enough work to cover half their costs.
Joseph Mitchell
USA isn’t an allay.
Fuck USA.
The world should understand America just do what is best for their top 1% Jews
Kayden Evans
>Except we haven't taken bailouts since 2018. There is no "we", you are 100% Hedgefund property by now, with a private military funded by the german taxpayer. The long con that was camouflaged as financially crisis has been successfully pulled of.
Gavin Davis
>apply for citizenship? I'd get declined, I'm too white.
Gabriel Sanders
very based
Dylan Thompson
Yes, but you are Danish, a relative of our royal family perhaps?
Jaxson Phillips
So the Greeks are sensible then. Brits would spend it on a dogs or cats home as the kids next door go without. Germans would spend it on migrants.
Gabriel Thomas
except he is norwegian
Levi Richardson
>you are Danish Norwegian, I don't know anything about the royal families at all. They're only important to people who live in Oslo, the rest of the country doesn't care at all.
Kayden Torres
Brainlet the majority of our debt is from EU private investors is something like 60-80 billion this is fucking nothing
Ryder Bell
oh fuck i didn't notice the blue line apologies
Michael Evans
Germany. Kek
Nathan Price
US 5th SF here: We propped up Greek military during Cold War to contain Soviet maneuvering southward. We helped train Greek forces with the equipment That policy has continued undeterred since.
US is still coasting on Cold War institutions and policies. Greece is benefitting.
David White
lol I love how tiny Greece could steamroll Canada. Our army is nothing compared to that.
