@sl007 @EUCommission Not sure what age Konstantinos Letympiotis is. His boss, the Cypriot PM seems middle-aged rather than elder, but their official statement is that there's no threat to Cyprus. (Also, UK bases there are not on EU territory...)

What does the President of the EU Commission have to do with what NATO does? Why not poast @ the actual NATO Sec Gen instead?

@sl007 Even if it was true, which it wasn't, again: why are you condescending to the wrong institution about it? What exactly is @EUCommission supposed to do about UK bases in Cyprus?

Oh gosh, I do not know how many times you sat in bunkers on a base which was targeted.
I did countless times. If you hear the "outgoing rounds" alarm, some meters from your sleeping location you know it _might_ defend the base but not the area surrounding it ...
