Will Greece keep Turkish ships out of their Exclusive Economic Zone as they promised?
Will Turkey backdown as it embarrassingly did a few weeks ago? I doubt Erdogan will allow that to happen again.
Serious escalation by Turkey that could lead to conflict.

7 Turkish warships are accompanying the Oruç Reis research vessel into Greece’s Exclusive Economic Zone. No word just yet on how exactly Greece will respond to this provocation.
The "meltdown" of the Turkish lira, as the professor correctly calls, is why Erdogan escalated hostilities with Greece today.
He is distracting Turks as much as possible from his own failures and corruption, and Turks are stupid enough to be fooled.

MAJOR: Greek officers and non-commissioned officers who are on leave have been ordered to return immediately to their units, while no new licenses for leave are being approved.
Greece is dealing with Turkey's latest (and endless) escalations of hostilities very seriously.

As I said, Erdogan is distracting Turks from the bad economy by creating tensions with Greece.
Turks are dumb enough to be fooled by it.

Rumours that both Greece and Turkey have given deadlines before war is declared. I doubt Turkey even wants war. Every Turkish jet that violated Greek airspace today was unarmed.
Erdogan is probably making a big show to distract Turks from 1USD buying 7.32 Turkish Liras.
