  1. He is just doing what he did with Mexico, Canada, Colombia and Panama. It's to push Hamas to make a deal and agree to terms it's so funny to see people think it's serious. Just a play to push Hamas to the negotiating table.

  2. They lost that right when they attacked Israel. Sorry, if you are a bad neighbour there are consequences... losing a war has consequences. The losing side NEVER EVER gets to decide terms, so don't start a war you cannot win, it will have consequences.

  3. Crime rate in Washington would go through the roof over night, not a good idea.

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

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

  6. 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.

  8.  @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.

  9. 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).

  10. Russian people don't emigrate on Tourist visas

  11. 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.

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

  13.  @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.

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

  15.  @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.

  17.  @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.

  18. Blame Russia, they made this happen.

  19. @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.

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

  21. 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.

  22. 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.

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

  24.  @_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.

  25.  @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?

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

  27.  @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.

  28.  @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.

  29.  @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.

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

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

  32.  @nati_X777  Never going to happen.

  33. 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.

  34. They spend 2.1% of GDP on defense already, that's above the requirements.

  35. Hm? They lifted the arms embargo refused all other demands and said they promise they will take Turkey's concerns seriously that was it lol. If this was about terrorism they did not get anything, all they got was weapons.

  36.  @theancientsancients1769  I am pretty sure the US foreign department was playing a big role in the talks behind the scenes.

  37. By Putin himself I heard, with one arm tied behind his back.

  38. 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.

  39.  @ybggorot1912  Yes, for a lot of Eastern European nations NATO is the only thing that stands between them and Russian occupation. Especially Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia would probably not exist today if they did not join NATO.

  40.  @Jahvec  But but but... Erdogan said "Trust me Br0" That's enough in Turkey ^_^.

  41. No Hamas in Gaza = no billions in aid money to Gaza and no need for billions for Israel military as their biggest threat is gone. Sounds like a lot of money that is better spent in America instead of throwing into the money wasting pit that is Gaza.

  42. They have a bad rep they have made a lot of trouble in the countries they go to. Like example in Kuwait they co-operated with Sadam when he invaded the country and in Jordan they started a civil war.

  43. 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.

  44.  @berkekadircelik6282  You are right it's mostly behind the curtains, Sweden and Finland did not give much, just weapons and a promise that does not really contain any specific actions. More than likely Sweden and Finland was not the real target and Erdogan made a deal with someone else to allow them in. My guess he made a deal with the US and it will be interesting to see if Turkey will be allowed to buy those US fighter Jets before the end of the year.

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

  46. 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.

  47.  @CrackCatWantsPat  Nothing can be done as the US has veto power in the UN. As long as the US disagrees there is nothing that can be done about it.

  48. To be honest America pays a lot of money to Palestine, if Gaza is no longer a threat there is no need to send billions of dollars in aid money. Also no need to send Israel so much money for their military because when Hamas and Gaza is gone there is less threat to Israelis.

  49.  @owindustry  Sweden and Finland gave Turkey weapons, the arms embargo is no more and a promise to take Turkey's concerns "seriously". All other demands was refused. YPG will not be a designated terrorist organization, that's a EU matter. Erdogan's Terrorist list of individuals that he wants extradited won't be extradited. Turkey got Weapons and a promise with no specific action tied to it. So yes it would seem it was a waste of time as Turkey did not get much, more than likely Turkey made a secret deal with the US or another NATO member to let them in though. Perhaps they will be able to buy jet fighters from the US soon.

  50. nobody is going to war over Gaza comeon... who cares LOL.
