Who's gonna be throwing missiles at greece?
I think I found the weak point guys.
Wonder where they build these two huge boats, which are almost half as big as Crete.
No your perspective is all wrong. Those are normal sized boats. They shrunk the country to make it easier to protect.
Actually the country and boats are normal size, the boats are just closer to the camera than the land because they are going to put these battleships into orbit
Space ships. It makes sense now!
If only there was already a Greek mythological shield which offered divine protection that they could have named this after...
His shield was really fancy, to be fair. The main lesson is that when you dip your baby in invincibility juice you need to swap the ankle you’re holding them by and dip again.
Main lesson is put the shield on the heel.
Why not dip your hand in the water also? What was the issue with doing that?
You still wouldn't get the bits of ankle covered by the fingers
Could've just tossed his ass in, he'd be invincible, he'd manage...
Oh no, those are exactly the kind of twists the ancient Greeks loved: invincible doesnt mean unable to drown.
I think it was actually that you wouldn’t be harmed, but by being fully submerged, it would kill the person going in.
Eh, just wait for the hair to grow out, then hold the baby by the hair, dip it, then you shave the hair off.
Boom, done.
They all lived on islands. Surely they had fishing nets close by? Put baby in a net, dip and strain like baby is some freshly cooked noodle.
Unless your kid's name is Samson
Or just hold him upright and dip both his feet in the water first before flipping him upside down to flip again.
Or just don't... hold it?
Sure, just throw your baby in a bath of blood, what could go wrong?
Babies float and naturally hold their breath. Just grab them before they get upset and you’ll be fine.
But wouldn't that double the invincibility and cancel out so you get a guy that can be harmed everywhere except the heel?
Ok, so you dip them, switch heels and dip again, then hold both and dip again. Then you get full coverage.
Or just chuck them in completely
Dammit.
So... The heel is netanyahu's mood on any given day? Yknow, killswitch and all that?
Technically true: the success rate of hitting missiles with missiles will never be 100%. And even if the defender is successful he will have lost at least 2 missiles for each one incoming. Which is a win for the attacker.
The name is quite fitting.
I'm starting a business selling cheap attack drone swarms. Think I'll call it... Heel.
I'm pretty sure that market is already oversaturated
I don't think there is such a thing as too over saturated when it comes to drone swarms
We saw that the Nazisraeli system can be overwhelmed by quantity- and guess who’s one of the foremost producers of drones in the region? Why it’s ole’ Türkiye, Greece’s archnemesis! Achilles Shield is right, lol
In case anyone thinks "archnemesis" is a hyperbole.
Considering Turkey carried out a genocide on the Greek people of Asia Minor I would hope nobody doubts that.
The foundational myth of Turkey revolves around the time Greece tried to genocide them immediately after forming from the ruins of the Ottomans, based on a (then) century old irredentist screed.

The last time this was seriously pushed has been a bit though, when a literal fascist junta overthrew Greek democracy after they didn't like an election.
That junta was the cause of the Cyprus crisis, after they planned to genocide the Turks living on the island and seize it entirely... And of course, after Turkey crushed those clowns, they immediately tried to seize Cyprus for themselves.
The point isn't that Turkey is innocent, the Pontic genocide might have been started by the Ottomans but Ataturk certainly didn't bother stopping it, it's that pretending they're the sole aggressor in this feud because of a century old crime with no attention paid to Greek reprisals is showing a very obvious, and very obviously sourced, bias.
I thought Greece was broke as fuck. They're buying missiles now?
It is in fact broke as fuck.
I think you'll find, much like dessert, there's always room for war
Well, an almost invincible guy that had only this one weak spot...
No one tell them!
