Radio War Nerd EP 339 — Turkish Invasion of Cyprus, Part 2: Independence (1960 - 1973)

Recorded: July 21, 2022 "If two fish are fighting in the water, an Englishman was there" In part 2 of our series on Turkey's 1974 invasion of Cyprus (part 1: EP #337), we start with the sham independence constitution forced on Cyprus by the departing Brits ensuring sectarian strife and British bases in perpetuity...and we end on the eve of Turkey's 1974 invasion, with Kissinger nearly blowing up the planet, and the CIA convinced that Britain's new prime minister is a Kremlin-controlled asset.
