  1.  @NickStrife  I'd imagine there are more rational things to be thinking than what you're saying. A lot more rational things. Personally I don't think they want those islands but they're being pushed in that direction with how Greece is using those islands. Either way like I said earlier the behavior of either side doesn't look to be changing. So they are going to take those islands. They're just waiting for the right opportunity. An American war with China, if that ever happens will probably be that opportunity.

  2.  @Aldogfelix  What both sides want is so far removed from what the other side wants that it is nearly impossible to negotiate your way out of this. It isn't complex, two sides want two different things. If collective human behavior and history shows us anything, this will be solved by conflict.

  3.  @Aldogfelix  My point was that it isn't a complicated dispute. It is quite straightforward.

  4.  @Aldogfelix  Claiming a person as a simple mind for seeing something for what it is, is a form of cognitive dissonance. Also the fact they've had this issue for hundreds of years doesn't in any way shape or form complicate it. When one country has a ton of islands cutting off another nation from a coast on a body of water, it is going to cause intense trouble. This isn't complicated, at least for someone with even a minimum amount of analytical skills.

  5.  @wolfgangrenner4152  Yes but most of those other nations are on the upswing and Europe is on the decline, a decline which at this point is nearly not reversable. America will be fine either way, plenty of hydrocarbons, fantastic military, excellent geography so on and so forth. Europe is done, stick a fork in her. The rest of the world understands this which is why the EU's word holds very little weight in the international arena. It's an organization comprised mostly of vassal states.

  6. If Erdogan and the Cyprus problem vanished overnight, this situation still wouldn't be any different.

  7. @Tunip it affects daily essentials if those daily essentials are imported.

  8. @Damian Skelton. It's odd you mention that. Sometimes you go to random places on vacation and meet tons of British refugees living there full time. I was in a resort town called Fethiye for a short vacation and I was absolutely floored by the amount of Brits living there full time as refugees. Of course the Brits being the Brits prefer to use the term "expat." Still refugees none the less. I wonder if this is a trend which will continue to accelerate going forward where any Brit with the financial wherewithal to do so will simply leave.

  9.  @TranceElevation  I'm not sure if all these British migrants around the world have anything to do with Brexit, that trend was there before Brexit. Staying in that crumbling union in the long term would have probably accelerated this process. I'm not sure if saying in the Soviet Union 2.0 was the best of ideas for England.

  10.  @TranceElevation  On which point? Brits with money leaving England or the EU being the Soviet Union 2.0. On point one I am not sure 100% sure. On point two I'm 1000% sure.

  11.  @TranceElevation  I don't think you being or not being convinced will change the reality of the situation. Remember there are still people who think the earth is flat.

  12. France's ability to project military power has turned into a joke. Most of it's equipment is in disrepair and they barely have enough ammunition to sustain a large scale war for a few days.

  13.  @chrisrobert5252  So that is your argument? By calling me Ivan and offering me 1000 rubles. Do you believe it to be out of the realm of possibility that perhaps an American might be aware that France's military is a paper tiger? Are you old enough to remember the Libya conflict France dragged America into in 2014? Where America essentially agreed if it was going to take a backseat to the operation? Obama's famous "lead from behind" strategy? Well after 3-4 days the French military had their logistics stretched to a breaking point and were running out of munitions. Not to mention they weren't getting the job done. America had to step in and finish Libya off. Libya, a third world nation France couldn't handle a simple no fly zone over. And you're talking about training exercises? 🤣 Reality>Your emotions.

  14. The fact is that in the long term the EU will collapse. They've lost all strategic depth, especially when it comes to sourcing material and energy. It isn't a question of if, it is a question of when. It is surreal to watch an entire region collapse into irrelevancy on the global stage before your very eyes.

  15. 4-5 Bayraktar drones could probably get that done. Not saying that is what happened but it kinda debunks your theory that it's impossible for Ukraine to pull it off.

  16. @Erlich Bachman. America never pet Russia. In fact we antagonized them hoping they would attack an eastern Europe nation which they just did. As far as Western Europe, well they had no choice but the pet Russia. Their wealth and manufacturing base wouldn't work without cheap Russian natural resources. Not to mention if Russia attacked there was literally nothing their weak militaries could do without help from America. Which would in turn make sure they had no cheap energy and fall in need of AMerican protection turning them into vassal states. This is exactly how it played out.

  17.  @imt1217  And what did they get for their trouble? Being looked down upon and treated like a servant by the western Europeans. Interesting isn't it?

  18.  @imt1217  While using and abusing them? These nation are poor because the western nations used them as buffer zones for so long. Giving them a few bucks in exchange and you're bragging about it?

  20. @Malvados I've never been too interested in the liberal/conservative dynamic. I'm simply allergic to bullshit, which this channel seems to be slinging more and more of.

  21. The globalists put him in charge. The French people didn't really have much of a say in the matter.

  22.  @ax.f-1256  It isn't in either side's interests for this to happen. Neither side really wants it either.

  24. I think everyone knows the answer is no. All these poor young men simply being thrown into a meat grinder when everyone knows it will make absolutely no difference. It's sad.

  25. Considering Greece is under full blown occupation by the globalists, I'd imagine the part the globalists back will win again.

  26.  @MyVinnyp  Macron is delusional, completely detached from reality. Runs around the globe forgetting that it's not the 1800s and no one really gives a flying fuk what he thinks lol The guy is basically driving a Fiat but tries to enter races with Ferraris. (I love Italian car analogies)

  27.  @Random-ob7dc  They haven't fixed it because it isn't fixable. The positions of the two sides are so apart that it renders negotiation impossible. This will sooner later end in armed conflict.
    1
  28.  @Random-ob7dc  They've been negotiating these problems since the 1920s, what in the world are you talking about. When you look at a problem on a simplistic level loaded with emotions, I can see why you'd come to such rudimentary conclusions. I called war in Ukraine back in 2012, simple minds like yourself were saying the same thing. This war won't happen as quickly but it will happen. Nor will it be as brutal and destructive as the Ukraine war but again it will happen. It will probably last a few weeks considering the geography of the issue at hand.

  29.  @anthonysmith7014  Old habits die hard. Besides don't the Germans also browbeat other nations on things they did even longer ago than the events in question? Don't be hypocrites, take your medicine.

  30.  @anthonysmith7014  The Germans can't be accused of browbeating the history of other nations? Hmmm Are you sure? Is that an argument you want to hang your hat on?

  31. @Allan Lantree, Europe almost as no choice. Europe literally doesn't have the means to defend itself and their leaders know it. Most of the military forces in the EU are paper tigers. Like France for example who on paper looks like they have a decent military only have enough munitions for 3 days of a major war.

  32. @2aph0d_b33blebr0x I'm not sure I'd agree with the assessment of the Polish politician. Again it feels more like the EU is the Soviet Union 2.0

  33.  @nikosgeorgiou9020  Either nation can invade either nation, no skin off my back. I'm merely telling you what is going to happen eventually. War is bad for business, that is why all your nations are poor because you don't seem to understand trading with your neighbors is a lot more helpful than fighting or arguing with them. It's a lesson you'll never really learn.

  34. ​ @nikosgeorgiou9020  It's rare to have comments erased anywhere, hasn't ever happened to me anywhere but probably due to the fact I don't make any insane comments on a wide variety of videos I watch Were you cursing or saying crude things to people? If so, I'd imagine not doing so will solve your problem. Also if "big brother" had issues with your comment at face value, you'd think they would have erased or original comment in this thread no?

  35.  @elbmw  I'd imagine your neighbor wouldn't be worried about taking those islands if you weren't using those Islands as weapons against them. Surprised to see how naive you are about your own nation's foreign policy toward it's neighbors.
    1
  36.  @nikosgeorgiou9020  The moment those islands are armed, you give them cause to back up their actions. So if you want to continue down that road and face off with them, that's your call. If you use those islands to try to block them out of the sea and put arms a few miles off their shore, they are eventually going to take those islands from you. Daddy EU and USA won't always be around to help.

  37.  @2dradon2  I don't think the OP was claiming Turkey isn't corrupt or immune to it. I think he is referring to the slow collapse of many EU nations. If you look at the EU nations in the past 20 years and look at Turkey in the past 20 years. I think it's fair to say they're on completely different trajectories.

  38.  @Homer-OJ-Simpson  If the prerequisite to trade was that a nation has to be a democracy the largest players in Europe wouldn't even be able to trade with each other.

  39.  @rictechow231  Difference is China can do without Aussie imports and feel nothing. Where as here in America and Europe we're essentially addicted to cheap Chinese products. Not understand the power dynamics in relationships and falling into delusion is never good.

  40. @Porridge Ramen, Vassal states don't really get to decide what is and isn't their business. Europe for all intents and purposes will simply do what it's told.

  41.  @amarhadjimurad2363  Imagine your only crime being that you actually enact policies your people want. The fact this is seen as a crime in Europe, shows how insane the OP's comment about authoritarianism really is.

  43. Oddly enough most EU nations are growing more authoritarian than Erdogan's Turkey.

  44. @Juice As terrible as what is going done in the west is, it doesn't really excuse Erdogan keep interest rates artificially low. Two wrongs don't make a right.

  45. Only a matter of time till the regime in Paris cracks down extremely hard on these protestors and commits human rights violations.

  46.  @itemushmush  This is the EU we're talking about here. If they really want to do something, they'll simply change the law or find a way to bypass it.

  49. @Andrew Taggart, since when was the new Soviet style elite leaders of the EU concerned with the mere constitutions of member nation states. Hell it isn't even concerned with the will of the public these days. Who forgets the days of referendums and when the vote doesn't go their way they just have another referendum and keep doing it till they get what they want lol The rule of law in the EU is dead, democracy is dead, freedom is dead. EU is slowly becoming the new Soviet Union. Comply or face the consequences is the new mode of politics there.
