  1. More smaller parties is better than a handful of large parties. These small parties don't hold much electoral weight but in return they're niche and bold enough to address issues that larger parties would gladly gloss over.

  2. Same with Iran. I play games with both Russian and Iranian friends. There's no hostility or resentment at all. All this conflict is all top-down geopolitics that normal people have no stake in.

  3. You're almost there. Ukraine is a split language nation, like Belgium. Except unlike Belgium, the Ukrainian government throttles and bullies Russian speaking people Ukrainians. This means Putin looks weak to all other Russian-speaking people. He doesn't need that, it doesn't serve him at all to have his authority undermined like that. If Belgium started bullying French speaking Belgians, then Macron would have to assert himself politically (although military would obviously be out of the question at first).

  4. Been hearing this for over a year now.

  5. Whenever Southern European countries are being told to fix their budget deficits the common response is that it's not anyone else's business. Until now. Apparently their bad credit score is now a burden that needs to be shared by countries that went through great lengths to minimize their own budget deficit.

  6. That's not true, they were seen floating somewhere new New Zealand a week ago.

  7. Wenn es jemals eine Zeit für Deutschland gäbe, die Kontrolle über Europa zu übernehmen. Jetzt ist die Zeit!

  8. North and South Italy are basically two separate countries.

  9. The EU is highly contagious. Switzerland should ask the UK for a vaccine.

  10. Bit harsh.

  11. Money you mean, they need our money, for free.

  12. ​ @Pako11M ​The credit score determines the cost of the loan. Southern Europe wrecked their credit score and now they want to ruin the credit score of Northern Europe as well.

  13. Just stating it sarcastically does not invalidate the low representation and opaqueness of the European Comission.

  14. Exactly, Italians have a far lighter tax burden than the Danish and now the Danish have to pay for the Italians as well?

  15.  @tobiwan001  the UK purchased most of its vaccines from private companies that produced it specifically for the UK while being situated in the EU while the EU struggled to adequately provide vaccines for its member states yes.

  16. A community of values except yours.

  17. ​ @mr.metallic5310  Yes, history as recent as the last two years. Everyone was 'just following orders'.

  18. Ironically the Netherlands is the largest weapons importer by GDP in all of Europe. Makes perfect sense!

  19. No but we will when the EU forces us to foot the bill for French pensions. That could end the EU.

  20.  @gekzify  Truncation is rarely done in good faith.

  21.  @Pako11M  If your credit score sucks and you then want to share credit score with someone with a good credit score, you're getting money for free. It's that simple.

  22. Maybe having the whole economy supported through a trickle-down from homeowners wasn't the best idea to begin with?

  23. Gee, I wonder if it might have something to do with TLDR covering Brexit exclusively on a near daily basis since 2017.

  24. Bakhmut is entirely fallen before sunday (may 21th). Feel free to come laugh at me if I'm wrong.

  25.  @LagartoPT  You're talking about the second largest agricultural exporter in the world.

  26. Yes EU, that's it, kill the Schengen agreement on which your entire union is predicated.

  27.  Joakim von Anka  they don't want the conditions Northern Europe is adding to their stimulus so why would they accept any conditions from the Chinese?

  28.  @davidcooks2379  FINALLY someone who talks sense here. Give Spain and Italy their own currency they can devalue at their own discretion and they no longer need any stimulus from anyone.

  29.  @deantjewie  What he's saying is that due to the surplus seat, the Netherlands has a technical electoral threshold of 0,67% as that's the minimum amount of votes anyone needs to get a single seat and have a chance at that last remaining one being added to their party as well.

  30.  @giacomostocco3532  ​ Italy was on the side that started WW2 so spare me the crocodile tears. If Southern Europe doesn't benefit from the EU then why are they still in it? Why not just leave?

  31. If you pay a lower interest than you're due, then someone else is paying the difference for you, it's free money.

  32. As a Dutch person I prefer the English language. Not because of its grammar rules, but because the English language has a more complete and usable vocabulary. English has lots of synonyms with slightly different meanings allowing a proficient English speaker to add a lot of subtlety to what they're saying. When translating English to Dutch, a lot of nuance gets lost.

  33.  @Sir_Gerald_Nosehairs.  Half the country was fine with the damage. What did Boris in was violating the rules that this particular half took as sacred.

  34. Obviously. France has the largest military industry in EU. So any increased European spending on weapons will flow straight into the French economy.

  35.  @ToothbrushMan  but the US is fiscal union therefore one economy.

  36.  @0xCAFEF00D  then draw a line for net-profit, don't make net-profit the x axis.

  37. Then why does Northern Europe need to have anything to do with these bonds? Oh wait, that's because they're funding it. For free.

  38. When the next crisis hits the Nothern Europeans will have to pay more for their loans because they shared their credit score with Southern Europe. This deal is exposing Northern European countries to more hardship further down the line.

  39. Backroom deals galore.

  40. So Spain and Italy are generously staying in the EU in order to save it while at the same time begging for financial support? Please...
    2
  41.  @giacomostocco3532  That's exactly why countries with a trade deficit need their own currencies again. The difference between the surplus countries and the deficit countries will always have to be bridged with financial aid and that's untennable.
    2
  42.  Imper 5  that's just a trade union you need for that, like ever other form of cooperation in this world.

  43.  @AldTar  Spain and Italy don't want the hard way that Greece took. They want the free credit without reform.
    2
  44. ​ @AldTar The UK and Sweden still have their own currency and the EU functioned normally when they are (were) members. A single currency isn't necessary at all.

  45. And this neoliberal hack channel is cheering it on. Unbelievable.

  46. As asinine as can be expected from someone telling others to commit suicide. Eurobonds is freshly printed money as well in the exact same fashion that the US is doing their stimulus. However, the US states all have the same fiscal union while in the EU it means that the fiscally sound countries end up paying the bill for the countries that can't manage their budget.

  47. Even the The NATO twitter account posted a picture of a female soldier wearing a Black Sun badge for International Women's Day.

  48.  @darthbigred22  The Guardian has an article on them as well. But it's clearly more than the Azov Battalion. And of course none of this justifies an invasion. But when a NATO account starts posing Nazi symbols on Twitter it might be a time to take stock and reconsider what we're doing.

  49. ​ @FullTimeGaming360  I accept your definition and Putin indeed meets those criteria for being a Fascist. Yet he's not the one whom the EU is providing stinger missiles right now. It's nazis proudly wearing their regalia in public who are receiving these weapons. Weapons which by the way are extremely effective against civilian planes as well. It's insanity.

  50. Looking forward to your next John Bercow video!
