Strengthened by Russian Adventurism - Proposed Turkiye's Erdoğan Visit to Cyprus May Cause Revived Angst

We read that Turkish Leader Erdoğan is purported to visit Cyprus, possibly with the intent to declare its partial absorption into Turkiye. Will the indignities never ceace?
What is the value beyond Erdoğan's emboldened ego that such an action has any socialy redeeming value except to reject Greece's claims and incite the already tense and hostile attitudes developing world wise as Russia violates the Ukraine with impunity and China would love to do the same to Taiwan. Will the travesties never cease?
And where is the United States in all of this? All this observer sees is the leader of the 46th Administration walking away with hands clasped behind the back with indifference whistling in the wind.
