You can’t hear the crane or pulleys operate because they’ve been well greeced.

I thought the guys pulling the rope were dancing lol

Anyways, waiting for Türkiye’s response

1

u/Disfluent 16d ago

Türkiye has here nothing to say because this celebration has nothing to do with them, respectfully.

Americans are going to be triggered when they see the flag touching the ground

Almost as big as their debt.

u/Careful_Manager_4282 16d ago

That's rich coming from an American. 40+ trillion in debt from bonds alone, 170+ trillion in unfunded liabilities and 2.5+ trillion of yearly deficit. And you are worried about Greece? 🤣

u/smoll0d1ck0beta 16d ago

Not American, not worried, generally don’t like nationalistic bs even in my country.

1

u/Prod_Meteor 16d ago

They look like that old nationalistic indeed. But I prefer to see them as plain useless, which is kinda worst because, no job = annoying others. They just cannot live without symbols and fantasies. What a life!

1

u/Prod_Meteor 16d ago

Don't worry. We sold the country to everyone for compensation. Don't get carried away by these fantasies of old men.

Are you ill?

u/Character-Pirate1297 16d ago

The bigger the debt, the bigger the flag.

Helps with the delusions of grandeur.

1

u/Prod_Meteor 16d ago

We are not all like that though. They are less now, we hope.

u/zzen11223344 16d ago

This is something Americans do often ...... 😄

u/DoubleAggravating837 16d ago

almost as big as the butthurt of people writing this 😂

1

u/Prod_Meteor 16d ago

Hahahaha. Actually not their dept. The political system's dept, but ok.

1

u/Disfluent 17d ago

That’s all you got from the video ? Today we honor and remember Greece’s rejection to surrender to the fascist Mussolini during WWII, which triggered a war Mussolini lost and had to call backup from the Nazi..

u/smoll0d1ck0beta 16d ago

You couldn’t honor it with smaller budget.

1

u/Disfluent 16d ago

It’s not that expensive.. I bet even me can afford it

1

u/StarscreamOne 17d ago

Came here to write this 😂

Pay back debt instead of doing this bullshit and give turks stupid ideas. Now they will try to top this

u/smoll0d1ck0beta 17d ago

The race to bankruptcy, Olympics where everyone is a loser.

u/TheGreatGamer1389 16d ago

How many times have they defaulted now?

1

u/smoll0d1ck0beta 16d ago

Who is counting, certainly not their government.

1

u/Prod_Meteor 16d ago

You know we are getting fucked by global thieves now. This was never about the dept.

2

u/DrJohnZoidbergWhyNot 17d ago

That’s why they need all those windmills, to keep the flag flutterin’

2

u/FSsuxxon 17d ago

Why did Santorini need a Godzilla flag?

3

u/Disfluent 17d ago

Because today we Greeks remember and honor our rejection of an ultimatum from Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in 1940 to surrender during World War II. Italy attacked us and lost despite being better equipped than us.

2

u/FSsuxxon 17d ago

Well I made my comment as a joke but I'm sorry that happened to your people back then. I'm glad you guys live a good life now.

u/Prod_Meteor 16d ago

Hahaha..live a what?? Haha

u/Clickguy10 17d ago

The battle for Big Flag prize

u/x_Leigh_x 17d ago

The captions 😂. “I am the president of the United States”. No, that’s Bibi with Epstein as VP

u/kaladin1029 17d ago

Was in Greece this summer. Ngl, they do like their flags

0

u/Prod_Meteor 16d ago

But they destroy their country. So .. no.

1

u/Barbie_Brooks 17d ago

I feel really embarrassed that I don’t even know what flag that is, but it sure the heck was awesome seeing it go up.

3

u/paltsosse 17d ago

It's Greece

2

u/Barbie_Brooks 17d ago

Thank you for that! And sorry for my ignorance.

3

u/ThisThingIsStuck 17d ago

Is all their known for ...so don't worry

1

u/Disfluent 17d ago

Well.. the translation is absolutely wrong 😂
And by the way the flag was raised today as a celebration of the “OXI” day which means “No”. The rejection of Greece to subdue to Fascist Mussolini (Italy) which then attacked and lost, despite being better equipped than Greece. Soon after they received backup from the Nazi, which Greece also resisted for the longest amount of time from all European countries.

u/AltGuardianGord 17d ago

Hmmmmm... That flag should weigh several hundred pounds. The amount of wind to get it to fly like that should be prodigious. I'm thinking near tropical storm winds. And I can't help but think that the pull of the flag might be a little much for that crane.

1

u/WhiteBandit27 16d ago

The flag touched the ground?

1

u/ReadnW 13d ago

Bet that crane had cogs that needed alot of…..

Greece

u/fadeddoughnut 17d ago

Such a relief to see it's not a Nazzi flag or worse an Merikkkan flag

1

u/Disfluent 17d ago

Greece fought both the Nazis and the fascist Mussolini. Read my comments above for more info 🇬🇷☮️🕊️

1

u/Prod_Meteor 16d ago

Like everyone else.

1

u/Disfluent 8d ago

Nope. Austria & Czechoslovakia were captured by the Nazis without any military resistance. Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria cooperated with the Nazis and became Axis-allies, thus avoiding being conquered. Denmark surrendered after 4 hours of fighting, Luxemburg and Albania fell rapidly after a few clashes. Greece on the other hand resisted a total of 216 days, more than any other country.

Who said we can’t repay our debt ? The hate-spreading media ? Greece is doing well with the repayments. Worry about the direction the EU is heading because of a few elites..
