  1. @Valhir, I don't think they'd need to go with a false flag considering the groups who do this try it quite often. And have been doing so for about 30 years now.

  2.  @TheMrN4R3K  Because it's hard for any rational person to support the side which illegally invades it's neighbor's internationally recognized territory and ethnically cleansed 800,000 civilians. Call me crazy but that doesn't sit right with most people. The only people who seem to be okay with behavior like this are the Russians (obviously), Iran and India.

  3.  @surojeetchatterjee  So you supporting invading another nation and ethnically cleansing all their people? Basically what you're saying is people should support Pakistan if it ever invaded Kashmir and slaughtered all the Indians there? Because essentially that is what you're doing by claiming you support Armenia against Azerbaijan.

  4. No.

  5. @Rich Dobbs, they have the same percentage of renewables as Germany. Still doesn't help when a main supplier stops supplies. Turkey however fares better when Iran cuts supplies as Azerbaijan can simply cover that loss in a matter of weeks. What happens to Germany if Russia cuts off supplies? Even if it slows down a bit Germany goes into panic.

  7. @Nicolas, If my name is Steven, I am within my rights to ask people to call me Steve regardless of what language they're using. Obviously it's up to them if they want to be polite enough to do it or not. So no, they don't get to decide. But they do get to ask for it.

  8. @KB Peters, I don't think they had many issues with Finland from the start. It's Sweden which is the major problem for them. Asking potential members who want to join Nato to stop funneling hundreds of millions of dollars to an armed group which is attacking a Nato member state is not blackmail. The fact this conversation is even being had shows the insanity of how international relations work and how naive and ridiculous nations like Sweden have become.

  9.  @wma2140  Who is Macron to invite anyone anywhere? That tin pot leader of the authoritarian regime in Paris has very little influence around the globe.

  10. @Ph11p3540. Don't you think it's a bit awkward to join a collective defense organization while at the same time financing armed groups which are blowing up schools and hospitals in a member state of said organization? Anyone who follows what is going around the world knew it was going to be trouble the moment Sweden put in their application.

  11. Difference? It is only going to help drag out this war. They're all eventually going to get blown up. The Ukrainians don't have the training or other logistics needed to make these weapons as deadly as they're supposed to be.

  12.  @williampower6534  What genocide, during the entire 2020 war like 20 civilians died. What are you smoking? The only genocide in this region anyone is aware of is when Armenia illegally invaded Azerbaijan in the 1990s and ethnically cleansed 800,000 civilians. You don't call that a genocide but claim 20 dead civilians in a warzone genocide? Seriously?

  13.  @the_truttth  Russia changed yes but it didn't cease to exist as a country did it? That is the road Armenia is on right now. I'd imagine people living there are terrified.

  14. European Parliament lectures the entire world on democracy and corrupt. While at the same time they have little interest in the will of the people and have a lot of interest in being corrupt. You really can't make this stuff up if you tried. The EU Parliament is a joke, citizens in EU nations know it and the world knows it.

  15.  @edwintomy6921  Have you seen western media coverage about the canal or have bothered to check? I agree that no western nation will come out as strongly against the canal relative to Russia (for obvious reasons.) Although I'm not sure if these people's questioning of the west's intentions are misguided or "obsessive" as you put it. In case some haven't been paying attention there is a pretty good track record behind that. I know it isn't easy for everyone but lets try to be a little realistic once in a while.

  16.  @egeaydn2794  You say it's not progression but regression. It would be wise for you to explain why, instead of simply making statement's we're simply supposed to take at face value.

  17. Buckle up my friend it's going to get worse. If this guy keeps cutting interests rates I wouldn't be shocked to see the dollar to 25 liras.

  18. You'd think that would have taken place during the military operation no? When tons of bullets were flying around and barely any civilians were killed or injured during an entire military operation?

  19.  @Jules-z4e  Except for regime change in Libya for France which the French weren't able to do themselves.

  20. lol

  21. @MarcVerstraeten, Finland yes. Sweden? That is rough. It's hard to join a military alliance when you've been spending hundreds of millions to fund an armed group which has been killed citizens of a member of that alliance.

  22.  @SorbusAucubaria  I don't see how that is different than rigged elections.

  23.  @ingabaranauskiene5889  Except when they illegally topple goverments that were elected. (2014) Or like recently when they cancel elections. Just sayin..

  24. I'm not sure in this instance they want "more." They simply want control over a piece of territory which legally is theirs no?
    1
  25.  @Tech9Admin  I think what they want is fairly open and clear. They want Sweden to stop financing armed groups which are attacking a Nato member state. And maybe a public apology as well.

  26. Hard for them to take care of themselves when a nation like France is stealing their resources and rigging their elections.

  27. Seems like every segment of society in France ends up protesting the regime in Paris. The upper middle class and middle class ethnic French with the yellow jacket protests which crippled the country. Everyone protesting the pension laws. Now the underclasses and left wingers rioting. Rarely do you see an entire society and all it's different parts protesting a regime.

  28. There are a lot of things Europe can't "afford to do" but have been doing A LOT of lately. I think a lot of it stems from the mass delusion the ruling elite seem to be under not understanding they are no longer the center of the world. Forget not being the center of the world, they're not even 10% as relevant on the international stage as they seem to think they are. This is a very dangerous mindset to have, not knowing your place in the pecking order leads to some very damaging decision making.

  29.  @Gourat1198  It's highly possibly that both of you are right.

  30.  @Elshadcan  The conflict is actually over and I doubt it will flare up again. Those nationalists you refer to dont' have the ability anymore to claim any territory from their neighbors. They've basically been defanged. It's over.

  31. @Mary B, Don't 'you find it awkward that Sweden is trying to join a join defense alliance while at the same time financing armed groups which are blowing up schools and hospitals in a member of said alliance?

  32. @Lucky Charm, Yes they can do that, if they can swallow being pushed around and bullied by the Chinese.

  33. Yes and what happens if they fall into Chinese hands and you have horrible relations with China? Then what? I'ts not like France has the military power to effect any of those outcomes so they're hedging their bets.

  34. @Leon Ramkumar. It's easier to find people to sell oil to than it is to find people to sell you oil. There are more consumers than producers when it comes to energy. And when a producer knows you're hard up, they can charge you anything. The problem Europe has is that most of their other avenues for fossil fuels are essentially nations they have really really really pissed off in the past. So yea, it won't be easy for them. Nor will America natural gas companies have mercy on them as they have shown.

  35. All that has already been done. lol It simply isn't enough for them to accept Sweden funding armed groups which blow up schools and hospitals. That is a tough pill for anyone to swallow.

  36. I guess in the same way France, America and England can condemn Russia while having done the same thing multiple times in recently memory.

  37. @Nope So they won't trade with any society that doesn't believe men can get pregnant? Hmm who will they trade with?

  38. They have no interest in joining the EU. They don't want to be bound to defend Sweden and they'll do anything to drag this out. Even resorting to make requests of things they don't even want.

  39. @Lithuania wasn't illegally invading it's neighbor's and ethnically cleansing 800,000 civilians leading to bad blood which won't go away easily. Not is it landlocked, surrounded by nations it is making territorial claims on all the time. Bad analogy.

  41. @Asau Pengabang, if that were true Macron and the Canadian Prime minister would be there supporting this meeting.

  42. France is not only insignificant in the eyes of these three nations. Other nations are starting to understand the reality that France is a third rate power. France can only really exert influence over impoverished African nations and that I'd imagine will come to an end soon as other growing powers are moving in to push France out. I'd imagine this will be a good thing for the people of that region as well.

  43. @BNL BNL, not going to happen for a plethora of reasons.

  44. @Donalexey, Yes and no.

  45. @MG Legal ramifications? And who exactly will enforce these ramifications? If International law were always upheld and enforced, France would be paying African nations half their GDP in genocide reparations.

  46.  @pekranevikrane  Yes it's easy to pay less when you rig the elections, bribe officials and continue on stealing resources. It's no wonder there was a coup lol

  47. @Shane Anderson I doubt this is any sort of peaceful relationship. This was done out of necessity for both sides. (Saudis being more in need) The Saudis need Turkey's military tech and military protection, now that Washington has thrown them out in the cold. The Turks need cash. Once one side doesn't need what the other side has to offer, the relationship will fall apart. These two nations are bitter rivals.

  48. @Natnael Eyasu, MBS is there to basically bend the knee and bribe the Turks to restore relations. Not sure he's in any position to make demands.

  49. @Devin Butler, The problem is Europe is a dying and decaying region that cannot be "self sufficient." They have no choice but to bow to the demands of America and China.

  50. At this point it's fairly obvious ECOWAS is essentially a tool of the French to continue their stealing of resources.
