Biden Helps Cyprus Militarize

United States President Joe Biden issued a memorandum on Wednesday to grant Cyprus the ability to buy arms from the U.S. government.

I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to the republic of Cyprus will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.
—Joe Biden

Discounted weapons: The Associated Press reported:

Biden’s [directive] means Cyprus could purchase U.S.-made armaments at lower cost because it would be dealing directly with the U.S. government instead of private companies. Cyprus, with a gross domestic product about three quarters that of the U.S. state of Vermont, will also be eligible for surplus U.S. military equipment.

In EU hands: While Cyprus is not a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, it is a member of the European Union. For more than two decades, Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry has warned that Cyprus, through the EU, will fall under German control. Any fortification of this island is ultimately for Germany’s advantage.
