  1.  @alpersenturk1420  Depends how you define innocence they are certainly guilty in Turkey but are they in other countries? To be extradited they have to committed an action that's considered a crime in the country they currently reside in. They cannot be extradited because Erdogan says Trust me br0. If they can be proven to be terrorists then they will be extradited, but make no mistake we're not Erdogan's personal police force and will not help him cleanse political opposition with terrorist labels.

  2.  @dax354able  and how will they get the gas there? The pipelines they have to Asia have about 20% of the capacity of their European pipelines.

  3.  @SelfProclaimedEmperor  There is no guarantee the next guy in line will be any better but I agree Turkish people are fine, just a bad leader.

  4.  @ephimp3189  China has the exact same problem, you pay enough money you can become a general and then make money on the side by selling off army equipment. Both armies are used to controlling their own population and very few of them has actual combat experience. The only difference between the 2 is that China has a lot more in terms of number of troops. Everything else they are in a similar state.

  5. Yep, they surely are making it easier for the anti-EU parties around Europe. Perhaps more nations will join the UK and do their own BREXIT.

  6. Not a big fan to be honest, good video poor choice of T-shirt.

  7. Yeah I always found it weird about the EU talks, pretty much all nations are against Turkey joining the EU still Brussels tried to get it done regardless.

  8.  @Stjepko15  The pipelines to Asia's max capacity is 38 billion CM3, Russia sends 200 billion CM3 to Europe. They can't replace Europe with Asia, they don't have the pipeline infrastructure to do so.

  9. True, not sure about Montenegro but Serbia has too many issues with Kosovo at the moment. The last thing the EU wants is a war within it's borders.

  10. Offering Putin parts of Ukraine? yeah right, let me guess : "LOL trust me bro" is your source?

  11.  @leostabauer5930  Which part of taxes are capitalism? If you look at socialist countries they have higher tax rates which would seem it's the opposite.

  12. I think the Mongols should reinstate Moscow as their vassal, that's only fair as it was back in the good old days.

  13.  @bobroberts2581  Then why did Apple agree to this then... They signed off on it now it's time to follow up on what they agreed upon.

  14. Also Swedish if Finland joins that's a guarantee Sweden will join in my opinion at least.

  15.  @ibrahimmansour615  Hey how can you burn holy books that's so wrong man. OH BTW ima go burn a holy book myself now. Yep didn't expect anything less from you guys. If you cannot handle it then simple don't go to Sweden. Nobody is forcing you to. You are too sensitive.

  16. It's just politics, everyone agrees we need to protect the environment it's how we need to do it and how far we need to go that differs. I am guessing whoever said that is on the right and likewise I would assume the other extreme on the left would blame capitalism for everything. That's just politicians for you. Most people are in the middle and are totally fine to combine both capitalism with measures to protect the environment.

  17.  @JAKE-ng8yr  Turkey is not in NATO for it's army size, it's there because strategic position. Army size matters little in war. The Americans needed only 30.000 soldiers to take Baghdad a city with a 8-9 million population in the Iraq war. Quality will always beat quantity any day of the week. Numbers won't do you any good if they turn and run as soon as they get into battle.

  18. The politicians drafting suggestions like this fly private jets which is one of the dirtiest modes of transport on the planet when commercial flights and trains are available.

  19. NATO has said that it wants Sweden and Finland to join and should they apply their application will be handled swiftly. For several reasons NATO have been very hesitant to add Georgia, Ukraine and Bosnia. In those cases it's about politics. When it comes to Sweden and Finland they offer very strategical advantages to defend the Baltic NATO members.

  20. No, the agreement you are talking about in the EU is very vague and is still being debated if it's mandatory or not. It's in no way a guarantee and the funny part is that Sweden has always downplayed this clause as non-binding as we were unwilling to be dragged into any war through our EU membership. Now that we are threatened we are trying to highlight this like it's a mandatory defensive pact like NATO but it's not and it's still being debated to this day if this clause is mandatory or not and what it actually mean.

  21. All they said is that they will look into it. Nobody will get extradited.

  22. Sorry I don't see the big deal, the guy said the Azov battalion/regiment are 1000 men and about 10-20% of them identifies as Nazis. So you have 100-200 Nazis in your army. I am pretty sure most armed forces have more than 200 Nazis in their armies.

  23.  @neventomicic330  You take things way too seriously Trump is just posturing for NATO to increase spending, he is not actually going to pull the US out of something that is a massive advantage for them.

  24.  @birdyflying4240  The pipelines to Asia can support a capacity of 38 Billion CM3, Europe buys 200 billion CM3. Yeah the EU will suffer but Russia will lose out on selling 80% of their gas too. LNG by ship is expensive and you cannot transport a huge quantity that way. Even if you could send 200 Billion CM3 to Asia China only uses 16.5 Billion CM3 of gas so who's going to buy the remaining 180ish?

  25. Yeah of course the deportation issues needs to follow Swedish law and the Swedish constitution why would they want to suddenly adapt Turkish law? That makes little sense. Sweden is not a Turkish vassal, they have their own set of laws and regulations to follow.

  26.  @coconutshrimp707  You need pipelines to send gas you cannot just change your trading partners without first building pipelines to your new customers. Russia has the capability to send 38 billion CM3 to Asia at a discount while they right now sell about 200 Billion CM3 to Europe at premium high prices.

  27. Didn't the Right sector and Svoboda and 3 other right wing parties join together in 2019 and get like 2%ish? Doesn't sound like a big right wing problem to me back home (Sweden) our right-wing anti immigration party got 17.5% LOL.

  28.  @Jay-hr3rh  Well it is getting what it's asking for... they go around trying to expand on their neighbours behalf and now half the world treats them like the warmongers they are. If they want to become the next North Korea then let's respect their wishes and help them get there.

  29.  @nonyabisness6306  The EU defensive alliance is very vague and is still being debated if it's mandatory or not.

  30.  @icup4318  NATO has no agreements about handing over political opposition figures to each other. Besides EU and US are democracies you cannot just hand over individuals for political reasons. Turkey would actually have to prove that these individuals committed crimes that would constitute as crimes in the states they are currently residing. Just because Erdogan says they are BAD DUDES does not mean we can simply ship them off like that, that's not how it works in countries where the political system and the judiciary are separated.

  31.  @PixelShade  Lol Malmö... I figured it was someone living in a small city thinking like this, try applying this to a real city with millions of people. Malmö wouldn't even be considered a city in a lot of countries.

  32. Yep, I just moved to Asia, my salary is around the same but living expenses are a lot lower. I went from 50% of salary for rent for my 1 room apartment in the capital city of my country to 10% of my salary for a nice 4 room apartment.

  33. @David Alvarez I don't know which aspect you are going for being like a European country but their economy is very weak and they are authoritarian. I guess there could be some similarities but I don't know if you can find many Europeans that would actually agree that Turkey is like a European country. As an example Turkey in the EU is very controversial and there are not many Europeans that want this to happen.

  34. Why? They just said they will look into the extradition requests that's it. Nobody has been extradited yet and probably will not be they just promised to take another look at it. Turkey got their weapons and Erdogan was happy with that. This was never about Kurds just F16s.

  35. The way things are looking it's more likely another major EU nation will leave the EU before any of the candidates would accepted.

  36. You are trying too hard my man, it's all political. If there is a political will then that argument will be used, yes. If there is no political will then it will be "not a European nation". It doesn't come down to geography it comes down to politics.

  37. really? I know there is going to be an election probably I didn't know the reason was so Erdogan could skip the laws about a third term though.

  40. Doesn't Turkey claim they are a secular country? Why would a secular country care about a holy book?

  41. It's freedom of expression actually, the more you know...

  42. Yep, Erdogan will claim a political victory at home and Sweden and Finland will join NATO.

  43.  UAE Emirates  Biggest in terms of what? Soldiers? France, Germany and the UK spends more than double that of Turkey on their military. Even Italy and Canada outspends Turkey. Surely you must mean number of soldiers? In terms of combat readiness, technology, spending Turkey is not number two in the alliance. In terms of military Spending they are very similar to Spain.

  44. Erdogan knows this and it's quite likely he never cared about Sweden and Finland at all, did you notice Biden just magically threw his support behind Turkey's request to buy the F-16 they have been blocked to buy for so long just a few hours after Turkey's announcement they will let Sweden and Finland join? The real negotiations have been going on between Turkey and America. Sweden and Finland is just a play piece.

  45. It's a no brainer move, getting favourable relations with the victorious major powers of the world doesn't seem like such a stupid move.

  46.  @Poctyk  Housing prices in Sweden are not really that bad - we just like to complain about anything. I will say if we are talking about the capital Stockholm then they are much higher than the rest of the country. Stockholm is 7823.50 USD/M2 the national average is 4379.25 USD/M2. I do have to mention that in Sweden you are expected to buy the apartment by yourself though. Many of my Asian friends laugh at the prices not being too bad until I mention that you are expected to buy the home by yourself and asking your parents or family members for money is frowned upon. I think that's why a lot of westerners complain about the prices even though they are not that bad compared to some places in say Asia. It's because in western countries you buy the apartment by your own money. In for example Asia your parents and grandparents will all chip in and it's not uncommon to have more than 5 people come together and buy a home for their children or grandchildren.

  48. It doesn't help when you are using cluster bombs that are designed to inflict as many deaths and injuries as possible into civilian areas.

  49. some people see racism everywhere. The way I interpreted it was the NATO values about democracy and human rights etc. Sweden and Finland are definitely more inline with the requirements NATO has of it's members. But well apparently Mathematics is racist according to some people so nothing surprises me anymore.

  50. ​ @v-vinz6869  Socialism and Fascism are definitely similar in some regards and it's not a coincidence that the man that coined the term Fascism (Benito Mussolini) was a Socialist politician before resigning and creating his own ideology. His family were die hard socialists If you don't believe me check his name: He was named after leftist Mexican President Benito Juárez. His two middle names, Amilcare and Andrea, came from Italian socialists Amilcare Cipriani and Andrea Costa. Of course there are maaaany differences between the two and I am not going to pretend they are the same even though they share many similarities but - in my opinion - in practice it's very hard to label ideologies on a right or left spectrum. For example nationalism is usually placed on the right while communism is placed on the left spectrum, China is extremely nationalistic which should make them right wing but if you ask them they would proclaim they are die hard communists which would put them on the left. In my country (Sweden) our right wing party received 17.5% of the votes yet there are more similarities to fascism between the Communist regime in China which we can all agree should be on the far left spectrum and a self proclaimed right wing party in my country which we (at least in my country) put on the extreme right. So yes, in theory Fascism should traditionally be on the right side of the political spectrum but in reality it's not as easy as that and in many cases you can find more fascist tendencies on the "left" and in communist countries than you can in governments that are considered far right.
