Robert Palm, a former United States military attaché in Athens, tweeted Greece as poor. After the outbreak of the scandal, he was forced to apologize. The agency says in more detail today RIA News…
With his reasoning on social networks, about the purchase of frigates by Greece for the country’s fleet, Palm provoked a loud scandal. In response to his fabrications, one of the users posted a photo of naval vessels on the network with provocative inscriptions: “What I wanted” and “What will they give me.” Palm didn’t hesitate to comment, using the proverb, “Beggars have no choice.”
The ensuing outrageous reaction from Greek users prompted the ex-attache to immediately delete the unfortunate message on Twitter and apologize. He acknowledged the offensiveness of his words, explaining it by the thoughtlessness of the comment.
In September last year, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced the government’s plans to acquire 4 of the latest multi-purpose frigates. Among the applicants, he named French and American ships.
