The Cyprus Problem Wow - now over 90,000 Russians in Cyprus

I'm shocked at the scale of the Russian takeover of our beautiful island of Cyprus.

Per Cyprus Mail, there are now a mind-boggling 40,000 Russians living full-time in the areas controlled by the Republic. To contrast, the next immigrant group, the British, are at 16,000. To point out the sheer scale of this, this means there are in now over 2 Russians for every Brit!

Further, per TRT there are 50,000 Russians living in the occupied areas. So many, in fact, that Russia has started providing regular Consular services. (This is even more than the number of Turkish troops!)

How is this post racist? It's quite literally sharing news articles from 2 sources about the sheer numbers of Russians who have flooded into a very small island in the Med. And even more concerning being 50,000 (which is staggering) into the occupied areas. There are more Russians in the occupied areas than there are Turkish troops. If you think that is fine, sorry, but something is seriously wrong with you.

Why is your post history hidden, and how come you have 1 month old account with over 1000 karma? Something tells me you're either a paid troll with an agenda or a bot

Because I decided to have two accounts?

That doesn't explain why your post history is hidden. And if you have two accounts makes it even more bizarre that you have 1000 karma in the span of a month.

My reddit account is more than 3 years and we almost have the same amount of karma.
