Ahead of the NATO summit, following the U.S's support of Turkiye's opposition on terror-tolerant Finland and Sweden's membership applications, the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visits Washington DC, and uses his 40-minute historic address to U.S. Congress to advise a blockade of weapon sales to Türkiye. President Erdogan subsequently cancells all future meetings with the Greek PM and the rising tensions between the NATO allies lead Greece to place its armed forces on high alert, a callous shadowboxing move that worsens the already bitter case of the unlawfully militarized Greek islands running high risk in the Aegean in conflict with both the Lausanne and Paris Treaties.
