Greek politics is shaking up, and the shift into campaign mode is kicking into a higher gear. So far all eyes have been on #Greece’s opposition, as former PM Alexis Tsipras makes a play to establish himself as the candidate that will unite the left.

Beyond the Aegean, #Turkey is also trying to send the message that it intends to have the final say on projects in the region, and we’ve seen this in its efforts to undermine projects like IMEC.
@SinanCiddi & @Zemenides break down why these plans are "pie in the sky"...
90% real news. 10% narratives straight from Turkey. Build trust first, then weaponize it. The most dangerous propaganda is the kind you trust. Thanks to @EFischberger now we know. He breaks down exactly how you expose an influence op hiding in plain sight. ekathimerini.com/politics/fo…
Today on @TheRestHistory, we are on the road to THE BATTLE OF MARATHON.
How Darius usurped an empire to become the most powerful man on the planet.
How Athens joined a revolt against him.
How the Great King bent his gaze towards the impious city...

I guess our latest @GreekCurrent episode on Clash Report (published today & feat. @EFischberger) hit a nerve.
As for Turkey being "great"... I agree. Here are a few things it excels at:
Threatening NATO allies, occupying its neighbors, supporting Hamas, jailing dissidents...👇
Anyone following international politics on X is sure to have come across @clashreport. What most don’t know - and what @EFischberger broke down to me - is that Clash Report is a Turkish media operation with close ties to the Erdogan family.

Great chatting with @maxbergmann, @mariademertzis, and @EFischberger. We take a close look at the message POTUS' announcement to pull US troops from Europe sends, the prospect of a renewed US-EU trade war, and pull back the curtain on "Clash Report" - a Turkish media operation.
Bravo Senator @CoryBooker & @SenMcCormickPA!
An important step for the region as this bill will strengthen US support for IMEC, recognize the region’s role as a strategic gateway in IMEC, and reinforce regional initiatives like the 3 1 with 🇬🇷-🇮🇱 -🇨🇾 and the East Med Gas Forum.
Spot on @SenBooker!
The East Med is a vital connective hub linking Europe, the Middle East, and India, and the Eastern Mediterranean Gateway Act will strengthen energy security, enhance economic integration, and promote long‑term regional stability - all core US interests.
The Eastern Mediterranean Gateway Act will not only strengthen ties with partners like #Greece, #Cyprus, #Israel, and #Egypt - who consistently step up when it matters most - but will also keep malign actors and adversaries in check.
Bravo, @SenMcCormickPA!
What are the stakes for the Middle East and East Med as Erdogan’s escalatory posture towards Israel raises tensions in the region?
I dig into this and more with @SinanCiddi on our latest @GreekCurrent episode. Tune in 👇

A future for Syria must include its Christians.
They are indigenous to the country and must have a meaningful role both in Damascus and in their own communities. Their inclusion is essential to building a peaceful, stable Syria.
Honored to join @ThanosDavelis on @GreekCurrent.
Housing crisis in #Greece is a structural issue affecting social cohesion and demographic prospects. High housing costs delay the financial independence of young people and the creation of new families, while also undermining labour mobility and overall economic productivity
