Greece has money?

What do you think happens to all the Tourist Money we slave away for, during our legal standard 6-day 9-hour jobs, with occasional legal 13-hour shifts? (No, don't worry about what employers demand illegally lol)

Israeli pockets, of course!

Never mind the literally collapsing Hospitals and Education system.

Greece has enemies? I'm aware of history with Turkey, but.. that's history

There is still a lot of tension between Greece and Turkey that occasionally leads to small incidents. Up until Trump started threatening to invade Greenland and Canada, a conflict between Greece and Turkey was one of the largest sources of uncertainty about how NATO would respond to an internal conflict.

They deserve each other. Greece has Balkan levels of brainless nationalism, and Turkey is no better, as well as aspiring to be more of a regional power.

It's not about affordability, it's about priorities. So to fund a genocide, sure they do.
