We are discussing for a possible response to an act of aggression of yours. The thing is pretty simple, we try to set the pipeline working, what are you going to do, bomb the pipeline, which is an infrastructure? We will respond back hitting more expensive infrastucture of yours. You see a richer country with a bigger GDP concentrated in the coastal cities has a lot to lose, that worked against us in the past, when Greece was richer and Turkey a lot poorer, now it works the other way.
You then escalate and try to bomb military targets, or an island small port or military airport so as to set boots then on it? We will bomb bridges, and airports, radar stations, ports of strategic importance worth of billions of dollars, all those big projects of yours so as to stop your trade and cripple easy access of reinforcements to our islands, we are obliged to do that to stop the acts of aggression you try to implement.
You bomb inhabited islands of ours killing a few civilians of ours?
We are forced to respond hitting civilian targets, which in your case are more populated than ours counting thousands, you make your offensive choice, we are forced to defend and respond, you see?
We are not stupid to make counterattack operations against turkish army deep in turkish territory(except perhaps in Thrace, that would be the only viable option under specific circumstances), whatever turkish invasion force comes, will get crushed, even if it means it will be done at a slower pace. Take for example the small island if you want at a first initial success, if you don't establish air and naval superiority, that will work in our favor and the forces there will either be a bargaining chip for us, or they shall be bombed to death and the island recaptured by forces sent from bigger islands or mainland Greece.
