  1.  @csdffwgdfgfdf  If that was the case they'd have great relations with all the gulf nations. They don't.

  2.  @jej_x  There are a lot of them but I'll mention one of them. His bit about conflict in Libya. He claimed Turkey was at odds with Nato/the West because they supported the GNA. While France and Greece supported the rebels in Bengazi. Well what he failed to mention was that every single other country in Nato was also supporting the GNA. France and Greece were actually the outliers in joining the same side Russia is on. Also throughout the entire video he went through pains to mention how something was "internationally recognized" or in line with UN rules. Yet when talking about Libya he oddly didn't mention that the GNA government in that conflict is the internationally recognized government of Libya and the people they're fighting is an illegal rebel group led by a warlord. I could write a damned book on how many false narratives this guy draws in this video. Normally in a youtube video you'd just assume it's a simple mistake but he does it so often and so egregiously that it's fairly obvious that for what ever reason he was looking to mislead his viewers. When you compare the false information in a video like this to the type of content like Kraut puts out for example. It is like night and day. People call media fake news, what would we call a youtube video filled with false narratives and false information?

  4. It's funny how on every other matter in this video they go out of their way to scream UN endorsed or internationally recognized. Yet when talking about Libya they just magically leave that part out of it. I literally lost all respect for this channel after watching this.

  5.  @ommsterlitz1805  1. They weren't given independence. They took it. France never "gave" anyone independence. 2. What happened to them after was orchestrated. They were the first nation in that region to fight a war and win against a colonizer. The fear of the colonizers was that the movement would spread, so they had to be severely punished and punished for a very long time. A small Island surrounded colonies owned by nations who want to punish them, if you know anything about how economics work, it won't take a rocket scientist to figure out how that would end for them. But this isn't 100 years ago and France today is a 3rd rate power. They aren't going to be able to punish nations like they used to who try to stop France from robbing them. All they really have left is to funnel tons of money to terrorist organizations and give them operational intelligence to cause as much chaos as possible in these nations (which is what they're doing now.) Even that can only last so long. Without these vast colonies from which France extracts untold amounts of wealth from, France will collapse. Why do you think their ruling elite are losing their god damned minds right now.

  6.  @RealLifeLore  How about the false narratives you drew by omitting key facts?

  7. This is more entertainment than actual reality. Half of the narratives he crafted were outright wrong.

  8.  @b3arwithm3  That's all well and good and something most know. Although I fail to understand how that has anything to do with the comment I was responding to. Also groups of people not liking each other and having a tribal mentality isn't simply 15 century, it's a trait that is alive and well in most places. And the few places where it isn't present, it's just beneath the surface and can resurface at anytime. This is a human trait stemming from the way we've evolved. The reason it's worse in the middle east probably has a lot to do with the genetic damage from thousands of years of inbreeding.

  9.  @b3arwithm3  Not sure how that changes the fact the guy making the comment I responded dead wrong.

  10.  @coolandinteresteing  How does that have anything to do with the point being made Mr. Aarash?

  11.  @Ass_of_Amalek  The entire video was sloppy. Just drawing false narratives after false narratives.

  12.  @S3aCa1mRa1n  One could easily turn that around on you as well no? You'll opine about a genocide from well over 100 years ago. yet completely ignore a huge ethnic cleansing attempt on an Island hwere the majority tried to exterminate the minority which didn't happen that long ago. Where some of the criminals are still alive. But let me guess. "It never happened" right?

  13.  @Labistouket  That region and it's people were there long before France even existed. And they'll be there well after France as a nation no longer exists. (Which will probably come sooner than you'd like to think) These regions will eventually recover from the untold amounts of damage France did to them. Not sure France in the long term will recover from it's current slide into irrelevancy though.

  14. @Justsome462. His take on the Libya situation was quite ridiculous. The entire video he went to pains to use words like "internationally recognized this, UN recognized that. Then when talking about Libya he failed to mention the GNA was actually the internationally recognized government of Libya. He made it seem liek Turkey took sides against Nato states when the reality was the vast majority of Nato was also backing the GNA. France and Greece were the outsiders on that issue backing the illegal militia groups along with Russia. Again really really terrible video.

  15.  @extragoogleaccount6061  Yes a lot of the narratives he drew about motivating forces are completely and utterly false. At least to anyone who has followed this country in depth for the past few decades. Especially his bit about why they invaded Cyprus.

  16. @Ancientloser, The western view that Kurds are some monolith is pretty ridiculous when put under a microscope. The odd part that romanticized view can't get around is that about 10 years ago more Kurds voted for the AKP than they did for the "Kurdish" party.

  17.  @aland.9060  This is true. Yes Turkey is a problem for Nato but not really for the reasons this guy tried to push.

  18.  @Ashnagarr618  (Yes, i am. ) Obvious considering how irrational and emotional you are on this topic. (1) France was a world superpower even before colonisation.) Doesn't change the their economy will collapse without pillaging Africa) (2) France had its industrial revolution before colonisation of Africa.) ( 3) Africa in its globality doesn't even represent 0.5% of France External Income and Commercial relations, and most of those 0.5% are in the maghreb region.) This means absolutely nothing because it takes take into account the hundreds of billions of dollars of resources stolen from these nations to power France's industry. Perhaps if France paid market value for all these things the GDP of these nations would be a lot higher. Your argument makes absolutely zero sense when put under a microscope. (4) France is losing money in Africa, because we give too much international aid in several forms (Health, Economic help, military help etc). Currently, Africa cost more than it brings back.) If France was losing money in Africa, your banking elites and political elites wouldn't' be absolutely losing their minds about being pushed out of Africa. Economic help? What economic help? You mean bribes paid out so you can continue to steal resources? Or the money and aid given tot he terrorist organizations to destabilize governments who don't do the regime in Paris's bidding? Chirac said it best "without Africa our economy would collapse" (France neo-colonisation is a myth maintened by worthless individuals to explain easily why their countries are failures, and by russia and china to facilitate their projects in Africa.) France's neo-colonization is not only a fact, it is an easily demonstrable fact. You claiming it is a myth against all the mountains of evidence the rest of the world understands isn't going to change that. It is akin to you claiming gravity is a myth and feeling good about yourself afterward. The fact you think it is only people from these affected nations who understand what France is doing and has done shows how delusional you really are. I come from a nation which is 100x more powerful than France, so much more powerful than France to a point the world sees France as our lap dog. So how is it that I know of France's dealings in France then, if it is only a myth made up by people from crap nations to rationalize their misery? Your level of cognitive dissonance is quite scary. It is one thing to be from a nation who's government is pure evil but it is another to actually trick yourself into thinking this evil is good. But then again you are French, things that apply to most people don't really apply to you guys. I'm actually shocked you didn't just surrender to me immediately as soon as this debate started, considering you guys are famous for that.

  19.  @Ashnagarr618  You aren't taking into account the vast numbers of natural resources being pillaged by France from Africa which is fueling French industry. Or most of the stolen Uranium from Africa used to power France's nuclear energy. Nor are you taking into account the fact France forces these nations to keep all their currency in the French banking system to the tune of nearly 500 billion dollars. Which France gets a handsome interest on and kicks back a small some to these colonies. As far as what I said being true or not. It isn't me who came up with this. A French president of yesterday actually said that without Africa the French economy would collapse. You should look into who said it, when they said it and why they said it. Don't be a slave to your emotions and cognitive dissonance.

  20.  @BanCommies_Fascists  They both wield absolute power and both don't really have a need to have a mandate from the public. The only real difference is how they attain power. Once they're in power, there is zero difference.

  21. It is a dying and irrelevant language. No point really.

  22. Why would they even want to do such a thing? Too many languages, too many cultures to adapt into such a thing. It would make more sense for them to start an economic union though. Which I guess they're slowly working on. It is called BRICS.

  23.  @Dexorfs  That is a good question, no the video isn't a hit piece on Turkey. However there are some really really strange things that can't be caulked up to mistakes.

  24.  @blackhole606  Lots and lots of spending.

  25.  @geekosa63  You see this is where you fail yourself. It isn't a matter of what I like or don't like. I personally have no horse in this race and wouldn't care either way. But I can see how you would think that, because you seem to look at things through the prism of what you like and want to be true and then cherry pick everything according to that. Your argument is immaterial and semantic in nature. Fact is the people living there now, were there well before France ever got there. Fact is they'll be living there and doing just fine when France no longer even exists. The fact France through their murder and brutality might have changed size and shape of a border or two is again irrelevant to all that. It seems to me this is an extremely emotional topic for you to a point it is impossible for you to be rational. Me, I am not French, nor am I from north Arica. I could care less how things played out or will play out. What I do care about though are facts and reality. Also this idea you're hiding behind about schools and roads is absolute BS a criminal tells himself to try to clear his dirty conscience. You can't slaughter people like cattle in a genocide on par with what the Nazis did and then claim a school or a road makes up for that. Absolutely not. You'd have to be completely and utterly insane to even attempt to make an argument like that. But then again collapsing civilizations do tend to bring out the most insane traits in people, so if you are French it makes sense.

  26.  @jxjason9  Except for the fact both sides have coasts on the Persian gulf no? Maybe one day both sides will stop acting like dogs and learn to get along?

  27. @Kingace6186. Unlike this channel Kraut actually does his homework and doesn't peddle false narratives and lazy research. Kraut's work is always amazing.

  28.  @playwars3037  Threatening to do something is one thing, actually doing something is another. France has been far more wreckless in going against Nato's wishes (in action) than Turkey has. Nato officially backed the officially internationally recognized government in Libya (GNA). France decided to join Russia and back the warlord in that conflict. Sending massive amounts of arms. Making claims is one thing, action is another. Yes the comparison is a bit fallacious, as Turkey hasn't nearly taken concrete actions against the group nearly as much as France has. Not that it really matters, anytime France takes action which Washington is not happy with it always ends up blowing up in France's face anyway.

  30.  @eavocado5890pppj  So you want us to believe Qatar is a democracy? Seriously?
    2
  31.  @eavocado5890pppj  I'm not sure if there is anything semi democratic about having an absolute ruler. But okay, play all the semantics you want. Won't change the reality of the situation. Of course Qatar is freer than Greece. Greece isnt' even a real country, it's a banana republic where it's media is essentially owned by foreign corporate interests and is not free in the least bit. That is like claiming you're fast because you're faster than a guy in a wheelchair.

  32.  @kingace6186  Yup I've been a fan for a while. This one was a hugeeee hiccup. I'm completely turned off.

  33.  @DoofyGilmore1299  Yea it's a hodge podge of groups from central Asia. But if you're DNA is not from that region, it's hard to claim you're Turkic. Also if Turkism is all about culture. Than Turkey is certainly not Turkic at all. Their culture is more similar to Persian, Arabic and Greek cultures than to Turkic cultures.

  34. Difference is colonial powers like France have no ability to colonize Kazakhstan.

  35. France essentially uses an uptick in terrorism to continue it's foothold in the Sahel. Anytime any government in this region takes steps to get away from French influence you generally see a huge spike in terror attacks. So it is going to be very painful as these nations completely get rid of French influence. France is essentially going to help put these terror attacks into overdrive. But eventually they're going to realize they can't colonize these areas any longer and will eventually give up. Then and only then will some of these nations finally get a breather from that French boot that has been on their throat for 100s of years.

  37.  @dozwhald6546  No EU member has the military capability to carry out an attack that far from it's shores. Everything will depend on how Washington reacts. Everything else is window dressing. Without Washington there is nothing any EU state can do about it.

  38.  @taurohkea2169  Yes but this channel claimed they were going against Nato by doing it because 2 Nato members were on the other side. The reality is every other Nato member was supporting the GNA, like Turkey. It was France and Greece who joined Russia in supporting the warlord against the wishes of the vast majority of Nato. But the way he crafted the video made it look like the opposite. Terrible video.

  42.  @cboisvert2  Meh that is a debate which could be had.

  43.  @seanmarshall5463  I'd imagine a lot of that stems from the massive genetic damage the people of the region have from inbreeding. Low IQ, low impulse control=chaos.

  44.  @nineten9011  It was, in the royal families. Which is why all the royal families lost their minds leading to insane wars. The general public was never big on inbreeding. Not just Europe but the vast majority of the planet figured out that cousins having children causes genetic damage. Only in very select places people havent' figured this out. The rest of the world has known for 1000s of years.

  50.  @Zorbakozak  Both. Obviously you can't pin something as complex as society behavior on one thing alone. But there is more than enough evidence that inbreeding plays it's part, if not an outsized part.
