ギリシアが「増大するトルコの脅威」を米国に相談
ギリシアの国防副大臣が、米国国防総省の高官と会談した際、経済力を付けたトルコによる領空・領海侵犯を取り上げたが、「米国側は理解したかなぁ？」と心許ない感想（笑）。
米軍も5年で8兆円の予算削減をするので、撤退することはあっても展開することはない。遠いギリシアのことまで構っていられない（笑）。
だから我が国も、生活に困っていない人にお金を配る子供手当、高校無償化は全廃し、防衛費を増やさなければならないのです。
Greece raising concern about Turkey with US

WASHINGTON – The Associated Press
Greece is raising concern with the United States about Turkey's growing assertiveness.
In discussions with U.S. defense officials Thursday, Deputy Defense Minister Panos Beglitis planned to highlight incidents of what Greece sees as violations of its airspace and territorial waters by Turkish forces.
In an interview, Beglitis stressed that his government is looking to deepen cooperation with Turkey. But it is concerned about Turkey's rising power. "I wonder if my American friends understand the situation," he said.
The mixed message on Turkey comes from the government of Prime Minister George Papandreou, whose diplomacy in an earlier stint as foreign minister led to a dramatic improvement in relations with Ankara after decades of mistrust and conflict. But Turkey's rise in economic and military power is changing the dynamic.
"They want to play a wider political role in the region," Beglitis said. "It is a profound transformation." Beglitis said his country is also working to deepen ties with Israel and improve defense cooperation. The outreach comes at a time of heightened friction between Israel and Turkey. Beglitis was also meeting with members of the American Jewish Committee, while in Washington.
