  1.  @Memnonite  The French military including it's Navy is nothing but a huge paper tiger.

  3. I guess they're welcome to do that.

  4. The Turks would probably prefer that. The seem to have zero interest in words like "credibility" what not what when it comes to European nations. Sweden stepping back would probably be a huge win for them, one less headache to deal with from their point of view.

  5.  @marekburniak1997  To be fair Finnstigator has a point. Finland has not been sending any weapons to armed groups nor has it been financing them. It's Sweden that is doing that, not Finland. Finland unfortunately just got caught up in this entire mess.

  7. @Jesus Aguilar, What you fail to realize is they have no choice. You're literally talking about an area of the world which has pissed off most of the globe and has no means to defend itself.

  8. @Labcat647, They have no interest in joining the EU. They simply don't want Sweden in Nato, making demands on things they don't even want makes that fairly clear. Well clear to rational people at least.

  9. The vast majority of nations on this planet do not recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization.

  10. Their polls are surprisingly accurate. They predicted the last midterm elections to the T when Erdogan lost control of the major cities. Perhaps the poll companies are doing their job instead of pushing a narrative unlike here in AMerica? Who knows. This is an interesting election for sure.

  11.  @Simitenbiri  The total number is actually 800,000.

  12.  @xfactor6099  Difference being these nations don't go half way across the globe to start conflicts. So it goes beyond hypocrisy.

  13.  @cianmcguire5647  There weren't 800k Azeris in Nagorno Karabakh but you seem to forget the Armenia also invaded 7 surrounding regions of that area which accounted for about 20 percent of Azerbaijan's total land mass. Areas with huge Azeri populations. Amounting to slightly over 800,000 Azeri civilians. Who were all brutally ethnically cleansed. You seem to have no problem with this yet have a problem when in a huge war about 2 dozen civilians get killed. 800,000 people...eeee no problem. 2 dozen civilians dying ETHNIC CLEANSING. Do you have any idea how callus and idiotic that sounds?

  14.  @cianmcguire5647  Can you really compare the two? First the sheer difference in numbers is absolutely staggering. Second unlike the Armenians did in the 1990s the Azeris aren't wholesale slaughtering entire villages of civilians right now. From an onlooking third party I find your position on this surreal. You're comparing a massive mass slaughter and ethnic cleansing campaign to a situation today where a huge war happens and about 20 civilians die. You're also comparing an illegal occupation of 50sqkm to an illegal occupation by Armenia of literally 20% of a large nation for 30 years. Is what is happening now awful it is, but I find it odd you fail to see the simple reality in who caused this situation. This is a horrible situation for sure but ignoring the madness of what the Armenians have done to lead to this situation is in itself madness. Personally when the 2020 war started I was afraid the Azeris were going to do to the Armenians exactly what Armenia did to them when they invaded the area, essentially start slaughtering civilians like cattle. In fact I would have bet money on this happening. Thankfully they showed restraint and avoided civilian casualties during the war. Bad judgement, illegal invasions, massive ethnic cleansing and a refusal for negotiate when they had the upper hand took this conflict to this point. But again thankfully like in most cases like this you aren't seeing revenge killings.

  15.  @sampohonkala4195  Everyone knew this was coming. Turkey said a very long time ago they had no issues with Finland joining. The problem was Finland was refusing to decouple their Nato bid from Sweden's, claiming both of us or nothing. That was never going to work. 1. Turkey's issues with Sweden are far too problematic. 2. Finland can't risk it's future security because of Sweden's mistakes.
    2
  16.  @seppo8383  Yea Turkey has no problems with Sweden or it's Nato bid. It threated to veto Finland because it was applying to Nato in a joint bid with Sweden. If Finland applies without Sweden they won't get vetoed because as you said Finland and Turkey have no issues.

  17. @DavidAMF, I'm not sure about Finland but everyone knows Sweden won't adhere to the terms they agree to.
    2
  18.  @UkraineNeeds  It isn't a whataboutism when those events are at the core of this entire conflict. This entire thing kicked off because Armenia invaded Azerbaijan and ethnically cleansed 800,000 civilians. Thankfully the Azeris aren't behaving like the Armenians when they have the upper hand now.
    2
  19. @Christophe Sullivan, That is a short sighted view. Eventually this war will end but Poland and Hungary standing up to the EU's bullying on issues like migration and woke culture won't go away anytime soon.

  20. @nickle_eye "Genocidal dictator" Seriously? Lets have a compare and contrast of the situation Armenia invades this territory in the 1990s: 800,000 civilians savagely ethnically cleansed Azerbaijan recently retakes this territory: A few dozen civilians die. Pretty huge difference in behavior no? ANd you're calling them genocidal? lol lol lol You should be on a show called "when cognitive dissonance goes wrong."

  22. @Buck Benelli, Except for the fact they have invested heavily in Solar and wind. Do you just randomly blurt out the opposite of reality often?

  23. If he loses the election he'll have no choice. The establishment there isn't as mature as the one here in America where they can easily rig elections or have the entire media establishment attack one guy.

  24. @Pe Ter, it won't be the same. All would be so much easier if Sweden wasn't so gun-ho in financing terrorist organizations.
    2
  25.  @XanaduRising  If a major war breaks out it won't matter. At this point I dont' think Nato as an organization will survive a war. Not all members are equipped to fight a war. Those that are will take part and those that aren't won't.

  26.  @mapa174  Who cares what he is, his entire post really makes no sense.
    2
  27.  @mattia8327  Again it's nowhere near their problem with Finland joining Nato. Simply looking at a map will explain this. So again, if according to your logic Putin has the ability to make Erdogan veto Sweden. Why exactly wouldn't he have Erdogan do the same to Finland when Finland joining Nato is 1000x more dangerous for Russia. Explain that to me please.

  28. Actually on this issue he has been quite predictable. His people simply do not want him to give a pass to a country which is financing armed groups who blow up schools and hospitals in their country. It was quite "predictable" how this would play out when Sweden tried to join Nato. The fact Sweden's cultural marxist elite don't understand how the world works is rather odd.
    2
  29.  @sloo6425  Build a new Canal? On someone else's territory? Seriously? lol Instead of all that, why not simply pressure Sweden to stop financing armed groups blowing up schools and hospitals in a Nato member state? Might be easier?

  30.  @DgurlSunshine  This has to be one of the most ridiculous comments I've seen in a long time. My wife and I have a summer home there. Here in Philly we're terrified to be walking the streets at night. In Turkey my wife goes for random walks in the middle of the night without a second thought. How uninformed do you have to be or is it simply that you're simply a malicious person?
    2
  31.  @GowthamNatarajanAI  He isn't joking, he's absolutely right. I live in Philly and we have a summer home in Turkey. It's 1000% safer. One of the few places I don't mind my wife randomly going for walks in the middle of the night. The violent crime rate is literally non existent where we stay. Compare the numbers to any American city.

  32. @Thor I'm fairly sure none of those nations will be needing or expecting you to defend them. The other way around is a lot more likely.

  33.  @thor.halsli  Unfortunately world military strategists don't make decisions based on the emotions of Thor from youtube. So no, Turkey won't be out of Nato and for all intents and purposes Sweden probably won't get in. Me personally I'd like to see Sweden in Nato as it would be nice to have them under the umbrella as well. Too bad they shot themselves in the foot with their childish foreign policy decisions. Sweden isn't important enough to cry over it though. As long as Finland gets it Nato reaches it's geo strategic goals due to Finland's huge border with Russia. And there is now way any rational person in their right mind would trade Sweden for Turkey in a military alliance. That is like trading a Ferrari for a Honda Civic before a car race. And you're right, those 5 don't have zero weight, I should have said they have near zero weight. This is how life works, what you put into an organization determines how much influence you have over said organization.

  34.  @thor.halsli  Kindship is one thing my friend but building an alliance for the sole purpose of winning a war is another. Peace from the not so frozen plains of America.

  35. @BD, Their banks aren't collapsing bro. Nor do they have skyrocketing inflation and political instability. Facts>Feelings.

  36.  @harukrentz435  Unlike the EU most rational nations around the world use renewable energy as an addon instead of wild rhetoric about being "carbon free soon." So yea, I'm sure it will work like a charm in those winters like you said.

  37.  @tanura5830  Yes when it suits them Nato has absolutely zero interest in human rights. But with that said Nato membership is not the same as EU membership or visa versa. The three strongest militaries which keep Nato a viable force are not even in the EU.

  38. Really? Humans moving from one place to another over 1000 years ago? Who would have thought lol

  39.  @balung  Yet they way they're being treated hasn't changed much. Yes the world has changed but the old habits of how Europeans are treating Africans needs to change too. By force if neccessary.

  40. They've been saying for well over 6 months now that they have no issues with Finland's bid. Their problem was on Finland insisting that they'll only join if they send their application together with Sweden. Eventually the Finns realized the Swedes have no choice and decided to join on their own. So this really wasn't Erdo's decision to make, it was Finland's.

  41.  @dasbubba841  I'm not sure if guaranteeing your security in the past gives any nation the right to fund terrorists on your border. Silly bubba, one doesn't need to be a Turk to understand that if I helped you with something 40 years ago it doesn't mean I can come punch you in the face today. Most rational people would understand this....But obviously not all people are rational.

  42. @Orpheus, Europe really isn't in a position to not be dependent on larger powers. It will in one way shape or form be the lap dog of one of those powers. It just has to decide which.

  46.  @garym.5931  While harping on events from well over 100 years ago, I find it strange you completely ignored the fact the not too long ago Armenia invaded their neighbor's internationally recognized territory and brutally ethnically cleansed 800,000 Azeri civilians. Just details right? A bit less than a million people? Meh who cares right?

  47.  @sagisli  Yes huge helping hand we gave them. But making sure they didn't sign a peace agreement not too long after the conflict started. Now their entire country and infrastructure is completely destroyed and their country depopulated. Real helping hand. Like some of our Senators said in public. "This is a great deal for us, we get to hurt Russia and kill Russians without risking any American lives." So hundreds and thousands of Ukrainians have to die for this, who cares right? Yea, real helping hand we've been giving.

  48.  @SW-fy8pq  It has everything to do with China. This guy is basically saying that since you shut us out of an alliance against China, we'll go help China. I don't think this will happen though. France tends to like to do business with very small nations that it can increase prices on and then bully them into paying. They tried this on Australia and it backfired. I highly doubt they'll be able to come to terms with the Chinese because it will be the Chinese bullying them. I'd imagine France will take this out on some poor African nation or perhaps bully Greece into paying for more overpriced warships.

  49. There is no line between the two anymore. And that seems to be the problem.

  50. I'm not sure anyone forced Sweden to send hundreds of millions every year to finance an armed group which attacks a Nato member.
