12 Miles to the Aegean Now! The only National Solution.

GREECE AND GEOPOLITICS IN THE 21ST CENTURY

The term geopolitics is new. It began to be used mainly in the 20th century. In reality though  geopolitics as a concept and practice has always existed, it has existed as far back as there have been nations. It has been present in the History of Nations since ancient times and its laws and rules apply whether we like it or not!

Ancient Greece, both in the classical period and in the time of Alexander the Great and his descendants, was a superpower. As a superpower also was the Empire of the City of Constantine. All this for reasons above all Geopolitical. Because there was territory, there was People, there was Sovereignty.

The fact that the Ancient Hellenic World was a superpower, not only in the cultural sector, but also literally, is due to the fact that first of all it was a compact and racially homogeneous population, which was in a great demographic growth. The relationship of the Hellenes with the rest of the people of the then known world was the relationship of a state with the current data of two hundred to three hundred million. In other words, a state with a population entity similar to that of Russia, the USA or the European Union today. If we take into account this fact and their great progress in military means, we realize the magnitude of the power of Hellenism then.

The great misfortune for Hellenism of that time was the eternal division of our nation, a division that took on dramatic dimensions during the Peloponnesian War. The question that arises is why Athens or Sparta did not succeed in creating an empire, as did Rome, which in many respects was inferior to them in many respects. For the very simple reason that Athens had one Sparta near it and Sparta one Athens. While Rome had all the potential to develop unhindered.

The Byzantine Empire was also a superpower for almost a thousand years, until it lost control of the seas and was forced to cede privileges to Venice and others and of course when it lost the Asia Minor and the Balkans to Ottoman expansion from the East. Slavs from the north. Beyond that, it was only a matter of time before she fell.

The plan of Plethonos Gemistos is a genius geopolitically, a plan for the creation of a nation-state, with absolute sovereignty, controlled territory and ethnically homogeneous people. A plan that as we know from history, was never implemented and we do not know if it could ever be implemented.
 
Any comparison from the ancient to then medieval , reality with the present data is utterly misplaced and it is a parallelism out of place and time and an additional parallelism, which is not based on any objective element, except the fact that the very important fact, there is racial continuity and a specific geographical core.

The founding of the modern Hellenic state after the Revolution of 1821 was the result of the national consciousness of the Hellenes , an act of great heroism of our Nation, but also the work of the great powers, who wanted Greece, in essence, protectorate, protectorate mainly of England. who was also Turkey's most loyal ally.

Of course, the momentum of our Nation and the Great Idea denied the expectations of our so-called allies and Greece soon became a great power, regulator and ruler of the critical and vital geopolitical space of the Eastern Mediterranean!

The Asia Minor catastrophe brought to the surface the theory of "small and honest Greece", a theory completely contrary to the laws of geopolitics. In the position of Greece, in this crucial geostrategic position, we must understand that it is not possible to have any small and ... honest state. Greece is neither Monaco, nor Liechtenstein, nor even Denmark or Luxembourg.

Greece will either be big and sovereign or it will not be Greece at all.

It is not possible in the position where Greece is geostrategically to have a "small", sovereign state. Charles Haushofer writes about this issue:

"The great powers, unhindered in their movements, can self-determine important long-term objective goals. On the other hand, the small countries, wherever they turn, find obstacles in their way. The plane and radiocommunications keep them at the will of their strongest neighbors. and their hopes evaporate into dreams or condense into clusters of satisfaction, so adapted to the power politics of their neighbors, that there seems to be no room for their own politics, then small countries no longer have the right to exist. country must not only know how a Force acts but also want to act as a Force ".

KAROLOS HOUSHOFFER

Another great myth, which was systematically cultivated in the two centuries of the life of the new Hellenic state, is that Hellas must always be an ally of the great naval power that dominates the Mediterranean. Such a strategic concept is essentially a concept of submission, since it is well known that our country is a predominantly naval country with extensive coastlines and its "alliance" with the great naval power essentially prevents it from becoming a great power and dominant in its area. This was and is the meaning of our "alliance" in the past with England and today with the United States and our constant rivalry with the central empire of Europe, whether it is Germany or Russia. On the contrary, an alliance with the central empire that gives this way out to the Mediterranean is an important advantage for our people.

As Charles Haushofer writes, the existence of a state is necessarily determined by three components: a) space, b) the people c) sovereignty. In the absence of sovereignty, there is formally a state, but in reality, that state is subordinate to another state. Greece today without a doubt does not have the basic condition of "sovereignty". But it is not the only one. The other two essential elements for the future existence of a nationally sovereign Hellenic state are territory and the People. As far as territory is concerned, the dispute over the Aegean creates new data, while the general territorial sovereignty of our country is precarious and is in constant threat from both the North and the East! As for the People and when we talk about the People in the science of geopolitics we are talking about a nationally homogeneous whole and that today is under threat. If in 20, 30 years the vast majority of the inhabitants of Greece are not Hellenic in Blood, we must understand very simply that there will be no Greece.

In recent years, our country has been given really great opportunities for our geopolitical upgrade to such an extent that we could hope for "Sovereignty" in the future. Unfortunately, not only were they dismissed, but the governing bodies of our "state" did everything possible to damage Hellenism geopolitically!

The disintegration of Yugoslavia and the control of the roads of Europe to the East by the Americans and as everything shows in the future by the Turks, poses a great danger for our Homeland. The risk on one hand of its secession from Europe and on the other the risk of an imminent military threat from Turkey and the states that tend to become its satellites with the blessings of the USA (Bulgaria, Skopje, Albania).

Moreover, on a more general level, the break-up of Yugoslavia was a major blow to the European Union, since with a united and free Yugoslavia and most likely a future member of the European Union, Europe would have secured a way out to the East. We must realize that nature does not recognize the concept of emptiness and it is very likely that the position of Yugoslavia in the past will be taken by another power in the region and if this power is not Greece it will definitely be Turkey.

In two words: Greece according to the laws of geopolitics is today in immediate danger and in addition let us understand: There can not be "small and honest Greece". This is an ideology for the benefit of the various agents, who rule our Homeland on behalf of foreigners.

The only Greece that can exist , is a Greece with a demographic boom, with full control and sovereignty in Cyprus, with territorial waters in the Aegean at 12 miles, with its northern borders secured and roads to Central Europe and with full control and sovereignty in Northern Epirus and the Straits of Otranto. Only by this way can Greece be Free and Sovereign.
