Comments by "William Davis" (@williamdavis9562) on "FRANCE 24 English" channel.

  1.  @kurkkamambusu4063  False analogy there. I'm fairly sure the refugees in Turkey were "invited" as guest workers to help spur the economy. Showing up unannounced and being invited are two very different things.

  2.  @miller13411  According to your logic would 10 million Nigerians simply blend into Italian culture because they're both catholic? I've met thousands of Turks and thousands of Pakistani people. They're so different to a point it feels like one was literally made to be the polar opposite of the other. If you throw those two communities in large groups together it's a recipe for a huge fire. On to Sweden, they seem to tolerate those Afghans and Pakistanis because Sweden has literally lost the ability to be rational. You simply cannot put genetically damaged inbred people with non genetically damaged non inbred people in large groups together and not expect there to be severe problems. Sweden for all intents and purposes is dying drowning in their own woke dogma. Turkey will probably die a death too if they don't lower the number of inbred migrants in their country.

  3.  @kurkkamambusu4063  Most of them are the offspring of the guest workers. They obviously haven't been able to assimilate for one reason or another. We have some Turkish communities here in the United States and their offspring are extremely assimilated. Why do they assimilate here so easily yet Germany can't seem to assimilate 3 generations of them? What are you guys doing wrong?

  4. If you introduce a huge number of new people into a different group of people, it can get dicey. If you throw in economic stagnation into the mix you get a fire.

  5. I absolutely love France 24 reporting. We have a conflict which started when one group invaded the internationally recognized territories of their neighbor and ethnically cleansed over half a million people. Yet France 24 wants us to completely ignore that and focus on calves who no longer have their cow mother around. Yes France 24, I do feel bad for those calves who don't have their mother's milk. The question is do you feel as bad for the ethnic cleansing of over half a million men, women and children. France 24<----- Truly has no shame.

  6. Macron knocks on Aliyev's door. Macron: Hey Aliyev, we'd like to mediate your dispute with your neighbor. Aliyev: :confused look on his face: Who are you again? Macon: I'm the president of the regime in Paris. Aliyev: 🤣:slams door shut:

  7.  @higherconsciousness21  Difference being they were invited because German needed the labor. Last I checked I don't remember Turkey inviting 5 million refugees because their industry needed workers. Germans have every right to stand up to their government who is allowing millions of illegal refugees into their nation. What they don't have a right to do is kick out the grandchildren of the people who were officially invited and went legally. That's just insane.
    27
  8.  @ks-jo3nf  I'm fairly sure it wasn't Azerbaijan which illegally invaded their neighbor and ethnically cleansed half a million civilians. If Azerbaijan is evil, what does that make Armenia? Super duper uber evil?
    26
  9. Finally the reality of France's actions in Africa are coming to light and this commentator is calling it "false information." lol
    25
  10.  @mdsabahuddin8251  Not wanting to be harassed is not racist. Is "racist" the new catch phrase people use when they don't have a proper argument? Just throw that word out there and all is fine right? Even if it makes absolutely zero sense.
    20
  11. I don't agree, the standard the occupier is held to is always different than the standard those occupied are held to. It would literally be like blaming a rape victim for scratching the face of her attacker.

  12.  @SYRENKiSSES  Saudi Arabia takes in refugees? Seriously? No they don't, unless you're counting the people they bring in to use for slave labor. It would be nice if you checked your facts. Defending one of the most evil regimes on the planet is a bad look.

  13. Another hit piece by France 24, well played France 24. If nothing I can count on you for consistency in drawing false narratives. Well played....
    16
  14.  OVERHAND  So that somehow gives Armenia the right to invade their neighbor's internationally recognized territory and slaughter civilians? Is that what you're saying? France is older than Australia, according to your logic France can go over there and slaughter everyone in Australia? I'm not sure if you got the memo but slaughtering people is frowned upon these days.
    14
  15. Most Americans can easily sympathize with what they're going through. Looking at the comments section it's mostly far left Europeans from places like France and Germany doing the judging. Although I would love to see how they would react if a group number close to 10% of their population suddenly showed up in their country.
    14
  16. If only his leadership were as impressive as his accent.
    13
  17.  @HopefulInterventions  You do realize that Armenia invaded the internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan and ethnically cleansed over 800,000 civilians in the 1990s right? Now the victims of this massive WW2 style ethnic cleansing campaign are the bad guys?
    12
  18.  @tango2642  It seems you haven't been paying attention. The EU has zero interest in taking Turkey and Turkey has zero interest in joining that sinking ship. Yet no one wants to be the one to break off the engagement. Even if the EU asked Turkey to join tomorrow they'd reject it. They're not dumb enough to board that ship.

  23.  @larsstougaard7097  Having a bad economic policy is one thing. Supporting and cheering on an apartheid state who keeps people in concentration camps is another. On this issue he is spot on.

  24. I didn't realize France was interested in human rights.

  25.  @ihavetruth4314  Pawning off outright lies as truth is a different story than taking sides. Especially for a media outlet which claims to be news and not slanted propaganda. The French government will be partial, that is natural. But a news station claiming to report facts doing this? That is something worthy of critique.

  26.  @mrdenson3101  Except right now Egypt and Saudi Arabia aren't stuffing 2.3 million people into a concentration camp and enacting their "final solution" to the people in said camp.

  27. Yup, just like Israel doesn't care about international law either.

  28. The most propagandized people on the planet are us, here in the United States and Canada.

  29. @Geo Kon, or perhaps France 24 isn't allowed due to them being extremely bias on this specific issue. That would be like allowing the Soviet Union to report on an American conflict. How do you think they'd cover it?
    8
  30.  @seanphurley  So crimes from 100 years ago should define certain nations but only be footnotes in history for other nations? Hmm interesting point of view you have. Also according to your logic no major nation would be able to hold peace talks. Less emotions and more logic/reason please. Because truth be told you sound ridiculous.

  31. I'm from the United States and vacation quite often in Turkey. There are certain parts of Turkey that have been overflowing with Russian immigrants for years now. They're like Turkey's Mexicans, they just keep coming across the border. Can't say I blame them, who the hell would want to live in Russia.

  33. Abbas L'Cherchie, Some how the worldwide globalist media has managed to draw a correlation between racism and a group of people's right to decide who can and who cannot enter their country and how many. Changing the demographics of any group regardless of race is a very dangerous thing to do. Humans generally do not react well to such situations, I'd imagine the same would ring true for animals as well. The racist argument is also simply ridiculous. If I don't allow my Italian neighbor to live in my house, does that mean I'm racist against Italians? No, it simply means I don't want that dude living in my house.

  36.  @ihavetruth4314  Yea because in your world view everyone who disagrees with you must be from Azerbaijan right? lol How insane are you? Forget not being Azeri or never having been to that dump, I've only ever met one Azeri in my entire life. Where as I've probably met 1000s of Armenians, more seem to live here in the United States than in their own country. Honestly what is it about your own country you guys hate so much that literally you all refuse to live there?
    6
  37. @Jessica Parker, Statistically most of the Turks in Europe went there legally under the invitation of those governments because they needed labor for their industry. There is no mass flooding of Europe by Turkish refugees. Europe did go through a migrant crisis of their own not too long ago, which amounted to a very small percentage of their population and still caused chaos. Turkey literally got rushed by 10x that percentage and still they aren't whining as much as you did lol
    6
  38.  @feelthembernz976  I don't think a person needs to be from a specific country to call out fake news when they see it. Imagine writing a news story focusing on 3 orphaned cows and completely and utterly ignoring the ethnic cleansing of over half a million people. Imagine that lol
    6
  39.  @aanandika9975  1. Turkey didn't invade Armenia, check your facts. The conflict you're probably referring to is Azerbaijan enforcing UN resolutions by pushing out illegal militia groups off it's own internationally recognized territory. If the EU did intervene, they would have been forced to intervene on the side of Azerbaijan due to the international legality of the issue. 2. The internationally recognized government of Libya reached out for help and officially asked Turkey to intervene which they did. What did you expect the EU to do? Openly show colonialist mindset and completely disregard what a sovereign government in Libya can and can't do, who they can and can't invite? 3. Cyprus, The EU didn't exist when Turkey invaded Cyprus. So what exactly would you have wanted an organization which didn't exist yet to do? You should realize when you post insanity in a public forum, you will be called out. There are plenty of ways to critique Turkey without delving into insanity.
    6
  40. @Caladrius81. Lets play an intellectual consistency game. When you talk about the conflict and mention what you said above, do you also mention the Palestinians homes being taken, their children slaughtered and the survivors being stuffed into history's largest concentration camp for 16 years? Not a single word? If you yourself show zero intellectual consistency, how can you have the audacity to ask it of others?

  41. !Cornelius Sulla, To be fair it's hard for any nation to back the side which invaded it's neighbor's internationally recognized territories and ethnically cleansed over half a million people.

  43.  @BSaifulla313  What exactly does his religious beliefs have to do with his political contention that his country should not be housing 5 million refugees?
    5
  44.  @glenipolus9731  I'm sure the leader gained a lot but I'd imagine he isn't the one who gained "the most" The families of the 850,000 civilians who were ethnically cleansed by the Armenians in the 1990s being able to return to their family homes and lands are probably the largest gainers from this war.
    5
  45. @WalterThompson-rt7jm. So your argument that is they should have no opinion on apartheid, concentration camps and now the "final solution" to that concentration camp? Seriously?
    5
  46.  @KnowledgeXYZYT  Oh I see what you're saying. Imagine one group having some ancient claim on a piece of territory and believing it gives them the right to ethnically cleanse over half a million people. Extrapolate that insanity to the rest of the planet and see what you have.

  47.  @sunbeam9222  Imagine helping someone win an election and the first thing that guy does is kill you and destroy your nation beyond repair leading to a life of misery for millions of innocent women and children? Surreal stuff, what kind of politicians are these broken nations producing?

  48. @Jeff MT, Why are these refugees running into nations with western type systems then? Why aren't they running off into Saudi Arabia for example? Oh yea, because they'd be turned into slaves.

  49.  @selaluoposisisiapapunpresi7982  No interest rates means no lending which means the rich landowners stay rich while people born into the lower classes have no way out. It basically turns into old fashioned feudalism.

  50.  @artouraganey8150  I'd imagine if these nations wouldn't allow their territories to be used as staging grounds by terrorist organizations that attack third countries, perhaps their neighbor wouldn't feel the need to take action. Just sayin....

  53. @Faragar, you're right it's absolutely insane. Then the stupid company who built these on high leverage are wondering why no one wanted to buy there and why they went bankrupt lol

  54.  @basharalassad1073  So essentially you're saying because Armenians in Anatolia were killed over 100 years ago it somehow rationalizes Armenians slaughtering Azeri civilians in the 1990s? Are you out of your mind? But looking at your name it's safe to assume you're an Arab, so yes you probably are out of your mind.

  55.  @blade5896  Europe never had literally a number equating to 5% of it's population show up over night. You guys get like .00001% and I remember you guys having a meltdown over it. Not saying your complaints weren't valid, they were. Just imagine what you went through 10x worse. That is what the Turks are going through and still they aren't whining as much as you guys did lol

  60. @Z I'm not sure what people living in Germany have to do with other people in other places complaining about what is happening in their cities. Some random Turkish dude in a random city in Turkey has literally nothing to do with what ever emotional reaction you're having in Germany what he does care about is his right to have an opinion on what is happening in his city. When did people become this irrational? It's surreal.

  63.  @bryanmejia6346  They account for less than .01% of Europe's population. What in the world are you talking about. Also the people complaining about the migrants aren't the Turks in Europe. They're the Turks in Turkey. I really don't see how some dude living in Turkey is trying to Islamize Europe. You know who is trying to Islamize Europe though? Your ruling globalist elites who literally do anything they can to flood your nations with migrants. If you actually dont' want this to happen to your nation, blaming some random people who have nothing to do with it isn't the right way to go about it. I'd imagine at this point cultural marxism has also gotten to you, probably feminized you to a point you can't think rationally and everything for you, like this specific topic.

  65.  @vardan9558  Let me get this straight, so you're claiming their entire nation is dumb yet that nation supplied tech to your enemies that you simply weren't able to deal with on a technological level? If they're dumb, what exactly does that make you?
    4
  66. @hardworkingmiddleasterner No it's not. You can't be that intellectually lazy to simply throw out a catch phrase even when it doesn't apply because you literally have no counter argument to what was said. It's ridiculous.

  67.  @Biobele  Most men in most nations don't leave their nation when their nation is in a civil war. This has rung true for most nations on this planet throughout history. Millions of Americans during the American civil war didn't run away to Canada. They stayed, picked a side and did what they could for what was in their minds a better life for future generations. This is what men do and have done throughout human history. So yea, it's kind of strange that the fighting age population of a nation would simply end up in another country during a bloody civil war. It's kind of surreal.

  68. @Tsifty, More Greeks immigrate to Turkey than people in Turkey to Greece looking for work. So I'd imagine it's nothing like the picture you paint.

You do realize this is a public forum of sorts, you should expect to be called out when you post things which simply aren't true.

  72.  @arghymakqazaq2348  OSCE group was never able to successfully mediate the conflict in well over 30 years. Mostly due to the fact the French who were party to the organization wouldn't allow it.

  73.  @ihavetruth4314  Imagine having a world view where anyone who disagrees with your insanity has to be from X group. Have you taken classes in extreme fascism 101 or something? It does make sense though, you are after all the type who denies ethnic cleansing. Your problem seems to be the fact very few people outside of that region would ever taken enough of an interest in that region to actually read up on it. Unfortunately for you there are some nerds out there who are interested in such things. Such nerds can call your B.S. out fairly quickly and with extreme ease. You're far too entitled, people aren't going to simply lie down and buy your insanity. You have to actually debate your point like a rational human being. Two reasons why that will be difficult. 1. I doubt you're rational 2. Even if you were rational your debate position is literally akin to convincing people to world is flat. It's a losing proposition. So you'll do what any overly emotional irrational people with a losing debate position do. Try to make it personal and avoid the subject matter at all costs. You're doing a fine of of that.

  76. @Cardiac, if you actually followed what is happening there it's mostly the people freaking out and the politicians ignoring the issue. The establishment there is extremely hush hush about what the migrants are doing. You'll get a few small time politicians here and there making comments but they're in the minority. It's the people who are not happy, the politicians are very happy with the situation. Not wanting your cities flooded by migrants is not "hate speech." Having your concerns ignored by your democratically elected leaders is something far scarier than that. We see a lot of this happening here in the United States where democracy is simply turning into an empty word thrown around but not actually practiced. The elites seem to have zero regard for what the majority of people actually want. I'd imagine most nations including Turkey are in the same boat. I stay in Turkey 3 months every year. I highly doubt they care if some irrational, emotionally driven cultural marxist has "lost respect for their culture." At least they have a culture unlike modern cultural marxists.

  77. @Christo S. It was actually Saudi Arabia which approached Turkey not the other way around. More along the lines of "Now that the US might not protect us, I apologize for pissing you off an we be friends." The UAE did the same thing last week.

  78.  @christos.5302  If some really rich guy comes to your door begging to repair relations, obviously he is going to extort something from them. Everyone does when dealing with these oil rich nations. "You want protection, pay up." I'm not sure he'll be "asking" for money. It will likely be offered right off the bat or he'll demand it. And they'll pay up. That is the only way these oil rich nations can survive, they can't defend themselves. They have to pay someone to defend them. America is no longer interested in defending them, so they move on to another nation which has the military might to defend them against Iran and pay through the nose for said defense.

  81.  @serdarates6750  I do see your point of view and why you gets get defensive though. Especially fake news networks like France 24 tend to put out some really really fictitious reporting about Turkey. Something I see quite often. One time they made a video with footage of a hospital being blown up in Syria claiming you guys bombed the hospital in Syria. .Mean while it came out that the footage they used of a hospital bombed out was footage from the Iraq war 20 years ago 😂😂. France 24, fake news at it's finest.

  83.  @lmvr127  It isn't about me seeing people as equals. The issue is the Israelies do not see people living in their nations as equals. They're not shy about admitting this or high ranking officials calling them "animals." My solution is that regime needs to stop apartheid, stop slaughtering civilians, stop stealing people's homes and sticking people into concentration camps. One state solution which is run democratically where everyone has equal rights and no one is a second class citizen with less rights because of their race, color creed or religion. But we both know the Apartheid Zionist regime will reject this out of hand.

  97. No one has to stoke anything. The people in Africa are simply fed up with what France has been doing on the continent. France has no choice, it must leave. The Africans aren't going to take it anymore. As an uninvited guest it's not possible to stay forever when the host wants you gone. How much longer can France simply stay in that house with a gun pointed at the home owners head? This is not sustainable for them, all they're going to do is cause more bloodshed and make an enemy for life. If they left now without causing problems they might be able to repair relations in the future. France's time in Africa is over, sooner or later.

  98.  @geokon7192  Not stopping media from reporting on a host of matters is one thing, just like Turkey can't stop France from reporting on random issues in their nation. However when it comes to a potential military hot zone, not many nations will allow in media that will clearly spin the story in someone else's favor. My point was the OP's point was overly simplistic and rather crude, which is still true.

  99. @E Shams, First off those Turks weren't refugees, they were invited to work because Germany needed them. Secondly just like you said those Turks are in Germany. They have no dog in this fight as the people complaining aren't the people in Germany. It's the people who aren't in Germany who are dealing with this issue. I doubt the people in Germany can speak for them, nor can they speak for people in Germany. How about trying to think before making such insane comments which make absolutely no sense.

  106. @LL, This really has nothing to do with this one guy. It has a lot to do with their anger with the Swedish government for many other things and this small incident was essentially just icing on the cake for them, also gave them political cover to do what they've always wanted to do. Any rational person has to admit it's kind of awkward for Sweden to join a collective defense organization while at the same time funding armed groups which are blowing up schools and hospitals in a member state of said organization. Just really strange stuff from Sweden all around.

  109. Even if that wasnt' the case there would still be zero chance France would be allowed to mediate. Usually in international politics the mediator is someone who has some sort of influence on the parties involved. France has zero ability to project any sort of power or influence over that region. There mere idea that they think they could get involved in this shows their sheer level of delusion and lack of self awareness.

  110. Well they don't know nearly as much as the nation which made this youtube video. In fact compared to the French, the Turks are a second division team in the sport of genocide. France plays in the champions league, I think they're playing Israel in the semi finals next week.

  112.  @gamedayswede  That is a fairly interesting way of misrepresenting what actually went down. Sweden tried to join Nato. Turkey said no. Sweden and Turkey negotiated and came to an agreement and essentially shook hands. Sweden then did not follow through with it's promises at the table and Turkey freaked out. One must admit that it's a rather awkward situation for Sweden to be trying to join a join defense organization while at the same time funding and arming groups which are blowing up schools and hospitals in a member of the same defense organization. You really can't make this stuff up and the ridiculousness of it.
    2
  113.  @gamedayswede  Not only are you oblivious to what is going on in your country now you believe you get to decide what nation people are or aren't from? You can't possibly be serious with this type of debate tactic. First you were sure Sweden wasn't doing XY and Z. And you were wrong. Now you're pretty sure I'm not an American. And again you're 100% wrong. At what point will you start to question what you feel you're sure about? I'm sure you've heard of Einstein's definition of insanity right?

  114.  @ashog1426  So what happened to the 800,000 Azeris who lived in the areas invaded and occupied by the Armenians? They all just up and vanished like a fart in the wind? Do all you war crimes deniers go to the same seminars, because you all seem to make the same exact excuses.
    2
  115.  @ashog1426  Yea obviously someone pointing out something so obvious has to be from country X right? Forget being Azeri I've never even met an Azeri. I have met a ton of Armenians though, mostly nice people. Would be nice though if they accepted the brutality of their government in the 1990s.

  116. @Krishna-yp5iz. Or one can make the argument Northern Iran belongs to Azerbaijan. Me personally I'm okay with either but you have to admit their claim is just as strong as yours if not stronger. Not to mention more likely to happen. No one living in Azerbaijan wants to be part of Iran. But I think you can easily find 20 million Azeris who in Iran who just might jump at the chance to join their ethnic nation state. Just sayin..... becareful what you wish for.

  117. @Jayshko. So your logic is because a nation has committed crimes in the past, it should ally itself with someone who is committing crimes now? Is that your argument?

  118. @Arif Kocer, I still can't for the life of me understand why you guys simply don't let all those refugees go where they want to go. I was once told because Turkey is being paid to keep them, I looked into this and it's not a sufficient reason. Turkey is spending 5x more than what Europe is giving them to keep these refugees in Turkey. So what plausible reason could the ruling elite have in keeping this many migrants in the country instead of simply letting them go where they want to go. The only rational explanation I can think of is perhaps the government wants to use these migrants as a bargaining chip in their dealings with Europe? If so, is it really worth all the hassles the people have to deal with? It's not something I've been able to figure out. I had the same conversation with a Polish friend of mine who was freaking out that Poland was going to get so many migrants coming in from Belarus. I remember telling him, "why do you care, they don't want to stay in Poland, just let them go where they want to go."

    2
  123.  @serdarates6750  The issue here is also how you guys react in the comments section. Yes these outlets put out nothing but fake news. Yet sometimes I see Turks freaking out in the comments section reacting to a comment from an ordinary guy which isn't bias and yet they still freak out, making them look like lunatics. Like the guy with the comment about breadlines. He wasn't saying people in Turkey are so poor they need free bread. Many times bread lines is basically a catch phrase for economic problems in a nation. The guy was basically saying when a population is in difficult times making ends meet they're a lot less likely to be welcoming of migrants who are taking up some of those precious resources they lack. Yet we have some braindead a Anatolians popping out screaming "we don't have breadlines." If you don't understand the point someone is making, it's better to simply stay quiet. All this anti Turkey fake news like France 24 does makes TUrkey look bad yes. You know what makes Turkey look even worse? The way Turks act sometimes.

  127. @Koala Bear, I'm not sure I follow your logic here. What does Turkey being part of one landmass vs another have to do with dealing with tons of refugees? The point is they don't want 5 million refugees in their nation regardless of where they come from.

  133. @houbee5535. What Azerbaijan did was nothing even remotely close to this. They fought a huge war and something like 12 civilians died in the entire conflict. Israel kills more than that with one missile, what in the world are you talking about. Not to mention Azerbaijan was acting within international law by enforcing UN resolutions with their actions, not acting contrary to it. Not to mention how careful they were with civilians. They'd have to fight like 10000000 conflicts like that to even come close to Israel's civilian death count. Horrible analogy btw.

  134.  @vperera2456  Have you taken a poll of the people who want refugees out about what they think of refugees in Europe? These people have taken in more than 8% of their total population in refugees and you're giving them sh!t for complaining? When European societies take in .001% they go freak out and you're fine with that? I'm not saying nations should or shouldn't take in refugees, that is for each nation to decide. What I am saying is that you sound like a hypocrite of the highest order.
    2
  135.  @2msvalkyrie529  You're right refugees in most cases are temporary in nature and should go home when the war is over but like you said they aren't doing so. So if a bunch of them show up in my backyard but are trying to go elsewhere I'm not going to lock them into my backyard. I'm going to let them leave to where ever they want to go. The idea of keeping them when they want to leave is insanity.

Here in the states they keep changing the formula to make it look like it's less. Now they tell us it's at 9%, meanwhile if you use the same statistics they used in 1992 inflation rate would be 17%. So yea Turkey's inflation was nowhere near 80%. It was much higher.

Regardless of who wins the elections their policy is not going to change. They are hot skipping mad at Sweden and it's hard to blame them for it. Schools and hospitals being blown up in their nation goes well beyond party politics there, it angers everyone across the political spectrum. Angers them even when Sweden openly arms and funds these groups.

  165. Inflation in the United States is roughly around 30%. Believing government numbers on inflation is like believing the wolf telling you how many sheep he has slaughtered.

  177. @Stiny Pete, anyone following what is going on knows that Turkey is pretty open about the fact it has no issues with Finland joining Nato. Sweden is their problem.

The issue for me arises with the lack of intellectually honestly. Where the large members want to bully the smaller members but still pretend the smaller members have full say in the Unions affairs. You can't have it both ways. You can't act like the Soviet Union and still pretend to be a democratic Union. At least you're honest in your point of view that might is right. Now if only the leaders who are pushing the agenda you want were as honest as you.

This riot was organized by a terrorist organization and it's followers are going through with it. A terrorist organization which oddly enough the French present invited to the presidential palace and offered full support to. This is more a case of the insane French policy of getting into bed with terrorists and it blowing up in their faces. Most other riots I've seen in Europe you'd be 100% right. This one is different and a lot more dangerous because the entire riot is controlled centrally.

  223. ​ @blade5896  Of course I know and it's a terrible thing. I probably know the numbers better than you. The far left woke policies are destroying your continent. But that doesn't detract from my earlier statement about how you guys are reacting to what is happening in Turkey. As much as you're complaining they literally just got hit 10x as hard as you did and you make a smug comment like "they know how you feel." No dude they don't know, they got it 10x worse. Look at the numbers in question to understand what I'm saying and how ridiculous you sound.

  224.  @blade5896  You might want to take a second look at the demographics of that country. Percentage wise they've taken in a lot more during the refugee inflows over the past 10 years. With that said though they won't be replaced as quickly even with more immigrants. Unlike Europeans, they actually reproduce. Europe really is in a catch 22. There is no economic model conceived by humans which can withstand demographic collapse. Only way to stop it is by mass migration which will also kill you. I guess European leaders decided to go the route of the slow death instead of the fast one. Perhaps if they hadn't emasculated an entire generation of men they wouldn't have had this problem, I personally blame the feminists and cultural marxists. Are you adding to this problem also Blade or have you actually reproduced?

  225.  @ashog1426  How about instead of delving into wild delusional conspiracy theories you actually try to debate the matter at hand. Is your position so weak that you have to turn this into a personal matter? Is it so hard to admit that ethnically cleansing 800,000 civilians is a bad thing to do? So hard that you have to try your hardest to change the topic? Honestly, on an scale of 1-10 how horrible of a human being are you?

  226. @Maria yes everyone is out for their own interests. But some are looking for win win solutions while others are used to the slave vs master mentality. Yes obviously the Russians and Chinese have interests in China but they don't come with the baggage of expecting the Africans to roll over and do anything they want like the French. There will obviously be a give and take involved.

  232. ​ @Speed IOT You're right the Azeris weren't deported in an organized fashion with buses. They were brutally ethnically cleansed to the tune of over 800,000 civilians.

  241. @Samuel Kebede, what happens is nations like France through bribery, coercion and various other methods create chaos in the country and try to install corrupt leaders who will do their bidding. They also support armed groups which will attack the governments of these leaders and then force these leaders to invite them into the country as "defenders" of the government. That is pretty much how it's done and how France is able to continue to keep military in these nations and plunder their resources. But it seems like the jig is up and France is slowly being kicked out of Africa one nation at a time.

Are they funding an arming Jihadi groups to cause chaos in Africa? No they aren't, that is what France has been doing the past 200 years there and continues to do. Russia's foreign policy, they've ruined the lives of untold millions of people in central Asia, the Caucasus and eastern Europe. But to compare what they're doing in Africa with France is nothing short of sheer and utter insanity. No one can match France for crimes against humanity in Africa. They are the champions leagues winners on that front.

  254. @user-nb8op3sn1l I fail to see how America supporting or not supporting a genocidal apartheid state has to do with Muslims. Unless of course your argument is all those things are fine if being done to Muslims? Sounds oddly similar to the argument for slavery in America all those years ago. "It is fine as long as we only do it to blacks" We've once again become morally bankrupt.

  261. @Samuel Reddy, the difference is Finland isn't arming groups which are blowing up schools and hospitals in a Nato country. So their laws being similar to Sweden's won't really mean much and if the same things happened in Finland as happened in Sweden the reaction will be much different as well. If Finland decouples their bid from Sweden's bid, they'll be in Nato very quickly.

  262.  @samuelreddy7816  People voicing their opinions on simple matters like gender and biology or their nations migrant policy don't require any extradordinary levels of freedom of expression. It only requires a base minimum of freedom of expression that most 3rd world nations can even meet. So no, you will not be allowed to draw false premises on claims that Sweden has freedom of expression. It simply does not. It's own citizens are simply terrified to talk about what ever those in power don't want them talking about. Full stop.

  263. @Samuel Reddy, some are worse than others. Sweden being one of the biggest offenders in suppressing people's freedom of thought and expression.

  264.  @danielparker5225  Legally they were not, they walked in with no papers. Just because a nation had insane enough leaders to allow people to break the law doesn't mean they legally entered the country. You need to come up with better arguments. We have the same issue here in the United States, people cross the border illegally and then ask for amnesty. That isn't the same as going to the embassy getting a legal visa and entering the nation legally. Apples and oranges. I would say nice try back but I think we both realize it wasn't much of a try.

Because you were able to find one company who over leveraged itself and built a bunch of ugly villas in a terrible area and went bankrupt? My wife and I recently were looking into purchasing a summer home in Turkey and I can tell you there is no "real estate" crisis. In the 6 months we've been looking prices have increased in that small amount. Too many buyers not enough sellers. Nice job in one again trying to draw a false narrative for people France 24, well played.

  272. When millions of people flood a border, it's hard to know who is a refugee and who is an economic migrant. For example you have many Iraqis going into Turkey from Syria. They are economic migrants but if they come in from the Syrian border how exactly would you be able to know?

How exactly does a nation prioritize freedom of expression when it's citizens are afraid to complain about too much migration. Or worse afraid to put out biological differences between men and women. Afraid their entire lives will be ruined simply by speaking their minds? Freedom of expression? Give me a break. It seems the Swedish authorities are more interested in being ridiculous than any form of freedom of expression.

The Libyan refugees though, yes you can send most of them to France that would be fair.

  293.  @hakmut1976  Don't be ridiculous Hakmut, yes America invaded Iraq and then pretended it was helping Iraq. Yes America and France completely destroyed Libya for no real reason and pretended they were helping the Libyans. Yes America and Saudi Arabia funneled massive weapons and fighters into Syria to destabilize it. You know who helped them facilitate the transfer of weapons and fighters to start that civil war? Turkey. You're acting just like the people who pretend that America was helping Iraq and Libya by sitting here and pretending that Turkey didn't help destroy Syria. There is a word for that in English, it's called hypocrisy.

This is a complete and utter contradiction, this is what makes you an idiot. The fact you make claims, then forget what claims you made and then agree with something that is the opposite of your claim. I'd imagine you're projecting when claiming I'm the one viewing this from an emotional point of view. I'd imagine you're from somewhere in that region with some sort of emotional attachment to this issue. There is no other explanation for your lunacy.

  307.  @g1u2y345  Having people assimilate doesn't change who they are. There are literally over 100 ethnic groups in that country which together comprise a huge percentage of their population. The Circassians for example are assimilated but are still a minority group and are well aware of this fact. That's just one group. I think your issue isn't that you're an idiot. It is because you're so emotionally invested in your point of view that reason and logic has left the building.

The few times nations decide to go full blown Adolf Hitler, it rarely works and there are consequences to their actions. As the Armenians are finding out.

  336.  @rogerdiogo6893  In their case it was over printing their currency. You should check into how much money their people get paid in their own currency. You do understand the relationship between currencies right?

  337.  @rogerdiogo6893  Printing money isn't the only cause of inflation but usually the most likely. Turkey isn't printing money either and they have inflation like Cuba. Anything else you'd like to add captain obvious? While claiming salaries haven't gone up in Venezuela meanwhile salaries in their own currency are up like 5000% lol

  339. @Anna Anna, they seem to be neighboring the Georgians who are Christian with zero problems. Why is it that only Armenia has a problem with nearly every single one of her neighbors?

  340.  @AnnaAnna-gt6eh  It's interesting you didn't respond to my post though. Also which part of his statement was stupid? Surely not the bit about Armenia invading it's neighbor's internationally recognized lands. That is an absolute fact. If you'd like to debate the issue I'm here. I warn you though, your position is not one which tenable in a rational debate.

  341. @でッ I don't think a person's opinion should be based on their gender or skin color. If you're going to make such an argument it shows what a shallow and evil person you are regardless of your gender or race. How about trying to tackle the guy's point instead of attacking his identity like a true racist. It's also hard to argue the guy's point at face value. In most civil wars throughout history men usually pick a side (the side which they believe gives the nation a better future) and fight for that better future. During the American civil war 60% of America's male population didn't sneak off to Mexico or Canada. They stayed and fought for what they believed in (right or wrong). You can make this case for many nations regardless of race. So why are millions of young healthy Syrian men running away from this duty that men have been performing for thousands of years. It's a valid question. It seems to me you'll literally do anything to avoid having to think and debate, it's a lot easier for you to make racist remarks which saves you from actually having to use your brain.

  342. @でッ If you didn't care you wouldn't be commenting in the first place. It's easy to do a hit and run but once you're called out suddenly you don't care? lol No it's not that. You simply understand you aren't smart enough to debate your point. Might be a consequence of a low IQ which stems from inbreeding, who knows.

  343. @でッ So you're playing the "I know you are but what am I card." I think we both know who is and who isn't known for inbreeding.

  346. @Kanishkasaxena5944. Illegally invading your neighbor's internationally recognized territory, ethnically cleansing 800,000 civilians and then occupying said territory for 30 years was never a sustainable situation for them. Regardless of their diplomacy and economy.

  348. @Skulls For Erlik Khan Throne. I thought Turkey's fundamental problem was one of a small group of genetically damaged inbreds who've bred out of control and now constitute a majority popping out low IQ children like it's going out of style. That is the definition of a fundamental problem, a problem that if not solved soon will damage your country beyond repair in the next 100 years.

  350. They're debating this without really understanding one simple reality. No one cares what the French think about this issue. Israel doesn't care what France thinks, Gaza doesn't care what France thinks, the regional nations don't care what France thinks. Even having this debate is quite ridiculous.

  352. I'm fairly sure what he is saying is like any all encompassing law there may be loopholes which do things which weren't intended to do. Just like France was complaining about it when theoretically England could have taken a huge chunk of French waters just because they own a small island near the coast of France. Thankfully England isn't as insane as Greece and didn't try to finagle a technicality in law to do such a thing to their neighbor. I'm not saying you should or shouldn't be this aggressive, its your country and your call living so far from that region it's not up to me to decide what you should or shouldn't do. What I am saying is don't try to sugar coat what Greece is trying to do.

  353.  @moaninggimp7161  It's shocking how the elite of a nation can do this and the people of the nation continue to leave them in power. So who to blame? The refugees who take advantage of it? Or the people who allow it to happen?

  354.  utkua  You do realize what you're dealing with here right? You're literally trying to use facts to debate with a person who is obviously not rational and acts with pure emotion.

  359.  @sepulturaoftheforest2869  What blows my mind is how it's possible some people haven't figured out what inbreeding does. Dog breeders don't inbreed their dogs because they've figured out it causes genetic anomalies and erratic behavior. Horse breeders don't inbreed their dogs because they've figured out it causes genetic anomalies and erratic behavior. Cattle breeders don't inbreed their cows for the same reason. In fact this rule applies for literally every single biological organism on the planet. Yet for some fuked up reason there are still people who think these simple rules of biology don't apply to humans? I'm literally dumbfounded by this. There is also a HUGEE correlation between inbreeding rates of a nation and how much chaos, instability and corruption there is in said nation.
    1
  360.  @sepulturaoftheforest2869  I stay in Turkey more than 3 months out of the year, I've been around the entire country so when you say inbreeding is against the culture of that country I'm befuddled. My guess is you're from the Ege region where they have absolutely zero clue as to what happens in the interior of the country. Take Konya for example, did you know that quite literally over 70% of it's population inbreeds? And no just not the Arabs and Kurds there. The only people in Konya who don't inbreed are ethnic groups which moved to Konya right before, during and after world war 2. Groups like the Tatars, Karachay-Malkar and the Circassians all have large villages in Konya and they're literally the only people inside that hellhole of a city that don't inbreed. Don't get me started on places like Kayseri and Ankara either. Even if there was not one Kurd or Syrian refugee in the country you'd still have a huge inbreeding problem in Turkey. Surely the Kurds and Syrians (who are Olympic Gold Medal contenders) in inbreeding doesn't help but they aren't the only problem in your country. 100 years ago the segments of society that would dabble in insanity like inbreeding were extremely slim and represented a very small portion of the population. However in the past 100 years birthrates among people who don't inbreed and people who do have gone in opposite directions. The inbreeders are popping out babies at insane rates where as people who don't inbreed aren't. Turkey's gene pool is getting worse and worse and may get to a point where it will be destroyed forever. I like your country my friend and do not relish at the idea of it turning into a chaotic hellhole in 100 years. The government must realize this as a national security threat and ban the marriage of people who are related., no matter the political cost.

  363. @Jillybe, Relations started to thaw when Saudi Arabia realized the Biden administration might not protect them. Saudi Arabia needs Turkish military protection to balance out Iran and they're willing to bribe the Turks for it. That is what is responsible for this visit.

  365. @Ernie Buchinski, It isn't Turkey which is withholding Finland's Nato bid. It's Finland's insistence on coupling their Nato bid with Swedens. Nor is it Finland's fault that Sweden is trying to join a collective defense organization while at the same time funding an arming groups which are blowing up schools and hospitals in a member state of said organization. It is by any logical metric an awkward situation for them. Perhaps you should look into the situation before making some emotional appeal which does not reflect any sort of reality. Their government might be backwards but it seems you might beat them on this front.

  366.  @Biobele  Young men do not migrate in the middle of a civil war. This is a fact. Humans have been a migratory species and migrate for a plethora of reasons. But again young men in large numbers generally do not do so in the middle of a civil war. You might want to do a little bit of research into civil wars in the past 1000 years. Most of the migration you're referring comes after the war where everything is so devastated that people need to move to find a better life. Which again doesn't explain young men in their 20s fleeing a civil war. That is outright an outlier, it's rare.

  367. So your solution is ethnic cleansing and people pushed out of their homes (again) That is your solution?

  368.  @themer1428  Forced occupation does suck. I can't imagine how terrible it was for Azeri civilians when Armenia ethnically cleansed over half a million of them in the 1990s. The recent conflict was one of the few moments in international politics were justice was some what served. Real justice however will come when Armenia is taken to the international court of justice and forced to pay compensation to the families of the over half million people it ethnically cleansed not too long ago.
    1
  369.  @themer1428  I don't say it for Azerbaijan but I've been a huge proponent of the recognition of the Armenian genocide. I like to call a spade a spade. I find it absolutely surreal how the Armenians who've been fighting for recognition of the Armenian genocide from over 100 years ago would simply be like "heyyy nothing happened" when they ethnically cleansed over half a million Azeris just a few decades ago. It's insanity.
    1
  370.  @themer1428  Oh the Armenians were completely innocent in the 1990s. Yea of course, those half a million Azeri civilians in Nagorno Karabakh ethnically cleansed themselves. Man, how come no one has thought of this possibility. Dude, listen to yourself lol
    1
  371.  @themer1428  Lets leave all the subjective and emotional nonsense aside and stick to simple facts. I'll do an extremely simple compare and contrast at the behavior of the two sides. Armenia invades Karabakh in the 1990s: Over half a million civilians are ethnically cleansed. Azerbaijan re-invades Karabakh in 2021. Less than 100 civilians are killed in a massive operation that takes huge swaths of hand and a few large cities. Big difference no?
    1
  372. Yea 2 thirds of Armenians don't live in Armenia. I'd imagine going forward that figure is going to get worse. Armenians simply don't want to live in a country run by Armenians and the ones still there are trying to leave. Think about that for a second, while continuing to either deny or glorify horrible ethnic cleansing. I'd imagine you're sitting in some comfortable city in a modern nation talking about how cool invasion is living half way across the world.

  378.  @TheodosiadisGeo  I have absolutely zero problems with Greece buying weapons from the frogers. No I'm not a brit, I'm a Yank. You however seem to have a problem with people pointing out all the money Germany has given Greece. The European Stability Fund and the ECB are in fact German funded and German controlled. Since they are the biggest contributors. So essentially my problem isn't what Greece and France did or didn't do. I was responding to your specific behavior.

  379. Some of the talking points that France 24 throws out there are so ridiculous it will make any rational person shake their heads.

  391.  @chinavirus841  Is this your entire tactic? Saying things which are completely and utterly false and then going with the "I know you are but what am I" argument when called out? The Arab conquest of Byzantine from Anatolia up failed. Anatolia fell to nomadic horsemen from Central Asia nearly 1000 years later. If you stop saying stupid things you won't be called out like this and made to be a fool.

What we can call out is when people say things which are outright false. When you say Erdogan is the "arms dealer for both sides." Are you basically claiming Erdogan sells military equipment to Russia? If so can you please name one piece of military equipment Russia felt the need to buy from Turkey? If not, can you please simply admit you're a liar.

  401.  @aylinguluzade5962  You simply don't seem to even understand what I'm saying. Your lack of comprehension frightens me. Read what I said again to your response, this time read it very carefully. Then use all the energy you have, channel it into your brain and try to come up with a rational response. With people as dumb as you, it's not surprising your country can never attain a properly functioning democracy. To have a properly functioning democracy you need an informed and intelligent population. If there are more of you running around Turkey, I now understand why it's always in chaos.
