  1. Because Nord stream is deep under water with no cameras and witnesses, nobody around for miles. Not the sharpest tool around.

  3.  @jamesgreen1116  EU and NATO are not democracies, unions and defensive pacts do not work the same as states. Perhaps a political science course would help you further your knowledge on that subject.

  4. Of course they will fight each other to some degree. The middle east is not like the west loyalty lies within the family and the clan over the state. Not to mention the difference between Shia and Sunni... yeah some fighting will occur for sure.

  5.  @owindustry  Not really Swedish volunteers fought for the Finnish side last time Russia (Soviets) attacked Finland, all Nordic countries have great relations.

  7. Whatever the case was the Arabs lost. Losing wars has consequences. They need to either stay peaceful and not provoke conflicts with someone stronger or find stronger friends.

  8. It's not an American war, it's between two European countries.

  9.  @fpxy00  No Turkey is not even in the top 5 when it comes to military spending in NATO. It has the second biggest army in terms of soldiers though.

  10.  @birkenlp9362  If they have family in Germany then they don't need to worry they can get a residence permit you don't need a tourist visa to be with your family in Germany.

  11.  @denisgorjunov  Good, then tell your countrymen to stop coming here many Russians come to the EU, very few Europeans go to Russia.

  12. Russian people don't emigrate on Tourist visas

  13. You are over-exaggerating. No borders, freedom of movement etc are for EU MEMBERS Citizens that means that citizens of one EU country can go to another EU country without having to worry about borders. Russia is not an EU country so they cannot do that, same with America and EVERY single non-Eu country. You have completely misunderstood this part of the EU. The Travel ban are on Tourist visas, Russians would still be welcome on any other type of Visa. Last part this is just a discussion just because a reporter ask the question doesn't mean the EU is going to implement this. I used to be very against both the EU and NATO before the war I thought people were silly, comeon Russia is one country the EU and NATO are many no way Russia would do anything to piss them off. Turned out I was wrong now I am very Pro-NATO and happy my country finally applied to join. (still a bit unsure about EU but at least my opinion is a bit higher of it now).

  14. It's his job, he has to be diplomatic in front of the cameras he is totally allowed to shout and yell at Turkey behind closed doors but you never do that in public. That's just diplomatic protocol.

  15. There are no western armies in Ukraine, nice try though.

  16.  @papiii_chulo  Never going to happen.

  17.  @fredmidtgaard5487  Biden administration putting pressure on Norway not to sell to Germany? Can't find any info suggesting that to be true, can you provide a source for your claim?

  18. @kızgın tosbağa Well it would not be the first time Turkey broke one of their deals and asked for more so I would not be surprised.

  19.  @OZ-hn2sh Well at least the hero knew how to spell English words.

  20.  @mrssibelius  Meanwhile the US is talking to Venezuela and trying to buy more from their allies in Saudi Arabia... Russian gas and oil needs to go, agree to that. But the alternatives are not really good guys either, lesser of evils I suppose.

  21.  @inso80  Erdogan wants them to add "Trust me br0" as a legitimate reason for extradition in Turkish - Swedish/Finish affairs.

  22.  @urmajesty3866  It's not about what Turkey wants, they already tried and were refused. Even if they want to it doesn't matter as long as EU says no.

  23. Blame Russia, they made this happen.

  24.  @MetalheadAndNerd  I kind of agree but I think it's mostly Erdogan, not Turkey that is the issue. I am confident one day Erdogan will be gone and the Turks will head towards a path of more freedom, justice and democracy. They are nice people and they deserve it.

  25. NATO is not a democracy if it then 51% support would be enough.

  26.  @_Redronin_  It is a crime and they were charged and served the prison sentence already. I am not really getting at what you expect? You think Finland would extradite individuals that broke Finish laws and served their time to be sent to Turkey? That's not how it works.

  27.  @ilkerturk1997  Like the previous guy said there is a difference between the common English language and what's being used in formal documents and in the UN assembly. Turkey can dictate how it's dealt with in official settings but it cannot dictate how common people use the English language. It's not the same. It's like Macedonia is called North Macedonia now on official papers but everybody still calls it Macedonia in common English.

  28. 70% of the population are in favour of the war, for the other 30% they can go anywhere else in the world other than the EU. you want to leave Russia and the EU is closed, well you still have a lot of continents open to you.

  29. Because they are the enemy now, why would you let your enemy send people to your country freely? Of course border countries are uneasy with Russians coming in as they could be spies. Also it's not a travel ban they are talking about tourist visas. Student visas and work visas whatnot are still allowed and those are more closely monitored tourist visas are basically given to anyone that pays the visa fee.

  30. Skilled personnel don't come to the west on Tourist visas my man.

  31.  @neodym5809  Get a green card/residence permit - all you need for that is to be married to a EU citizen or have a child that is a EU citizen. This ban will not affect those with family members that are EU citizens can get there with said green card/residence permit.

  36. It's a tourist visa ban Russians are free to come study and work like everyone else this would only be for holiday goers.

  37.  @GetUnrealistic  No problem Even if the EU would fracture tomorrow and lose 200 years of progress they would still be 600 years ahead of the Middle East.

  39. If that's what it takes to not be invaded by Russia please by all means let's make them richer. Rather make military industrial complex richer than be a slave under Putins rule like t he Russian populaiton.

  40.  Tea  The ban is about Tourist visas, Skilled people won't come on Tourist visas they come on work visas to work.... lol

  42. Didn't Russia make an agreement to respect the Ukrainian sovereignty at the end of the Soviet union? Deals go both ways you don't keep your deals dont expect your enemies to keep theirs.

  43.  @aksbeixhev  This is a Tourist visa ban I don't see why German-Russian families cannot get a residence permit like everyone else with EU family members?

  44. The Germans are against sanctions on Russia? What a surprise!

  45.  @Dovahcrap  I think the travel ban suggested are about tourist visas only so far, if you have any other type of Visa you are cool.

  48. He is just exercising formal diplomatic behaviour, you don't embarrass any party in public. The real negotiation goes on behind closed doors.

  49. As a Swede, thanks for your opinion but if you don't even live here then I am not going to take it very seriously. Sweden used to have compulsory military service for a very long time, my grandfather did it - can you guess what he trained for in the 50s? War against Russia (Soviet union). My father did his military service in the 70s, what did he train for? War against Russia (Soviet union). I did military service in 2000s, what did we prepare for? War with Russia. You think suddenly we joined NATO now Russian relations are suddenly really bad and now we have to tread carefully? Dude you are funny every generation doing military service has been preparing for a war with Russia for hundreds of years. Nothing has changed, Russia is still considered the most likely aggressor against us just like it was back in the 1700s. Joining a defensive alliance has nothing to do with economy or freedom, our laws will stay the same and our economy won't change. We got 1% of our energy from Russia before the war, they don't offer anything we need.

  50. The longer Russia fights the more soldiers and equipment it lose the weaker it gets. Inflation has more to do with COVID aftermath than Russia and we will bounce back. Russia can never get back then men they lost on the Front.
