  • Disgusting

    As a Greek Armenian, it is disgusting to see this podcast accurately call out Turkish continued subjugation of minorities including its support of Azerbaijan and at the same time applaud Greek cooperation with the genocidal govt in Israel.

  • A must for Greek Diaspora.

    This is a fantastic informative podcast. Great for understanding the evolving geopolitical climate in the eastern Mediterranean region, specifically how it affects Greece, but broadens out to understand EU and Middle eastern politics.

The defense sector in Europe is growing, with increased financing and collaborative programs being introduced for production and procurement.
A new day for Greek and European security?
Q: Tom, Greece just welcomed the first of four top-of-the-line Navy frigates it purchased from France. We've heard this described as historic and a new era for Greece. Is this a long overdue move by Athens?
Yes, it's a long overdue move, and with this acquisition, Greece gains the ability to project power in a passive way without looking to expand its borders.
Is 2026 the year of uncertainty?
Q: What do you see as the biggest challenges for Greece in 2026?
Greece may face political instability, with protests emerging as economic challenges persist, especially regarding housing affordability.
Is 2026 the year of uncertainty?
Q: What do you think is in store for 2026?
Given current international dynamics, I believe we are in for a lot of surprises as the U.S. under Trump navigates its policies without adhering to international law.
Greek concerns about Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine
Q: What do you make of Greece's moves to aggressively court US investments?
These moves reflect a long-standing effort by the Greek government to attract investment, leveraging geopolitical interests, particularly in energy and shipbuilding, while trying to align with US priorities.
