As you all know the disputes between Turkiye and Greece are reaching new heights slowly over the Aegean Islands.
There are many verbal exchanges of blows between the 2 states quite recently which are ringing my alarm bells.

Fast forward to the new incidents happening over the Aegean Sea.
We have seen Greek Warplanes locking onto Turkish F16 Fighter Jets that were operating under a NATO mission which Turkiye filed a complaint to NATO after the incident.

If a military conflict between Greece and Turkiye over the Aegean Sea happens then it would be in the Winter Season due to the Tourist Season ending then.

Again, take my warnings seriously.
