@luisekjeldsen1515 It makes absolutely zero difference to me personally. I'm just curious how these things shake out. The issue isn't Sweden joining Nato, the issue really is how many pounds of flesh Turkey is going to extract from them.

@GaSLAPENnu You're behind a computer screen too, so what makes you so all knowing about politics? You literally make simplistic talking points which throw all nuance out of the window. You ask questions a 12 year old would ask.

That is the idea. They don't want EU membership. This is simply their way of saying they're digging their heels in over Sweden. Which makes sense if you really think about it, it's awkward for Sweden to try to join a collective defense organization while at the same time it has been financing armed groups blowing up schools and hospitals in a member of said defense organization. Nations are sensing the EU's weakness and don't mind dragging them through the mud.

@Nrspeed1407. I wouldn't be surprised. They don't even want EU membership, at this point it's clear they'll keep making demands they know can't be met. They've made it clear they're going to dig their heels on over Sweden.

@marczhu7473 They've literally pissed off the entire world, what backup plan? Everyone wants to extract a pound of flesh from them. I honestly do not envy the position Europe finds itself in. The next 100 years is going to be very ROUGH.

@basbekjenl No one has your back my man, you're a colony. All is good as long as you do as you're told.

@harmless6813 Why would anyone pay penalties to anyone when they no longer have diplomatic relations, no longer trade and no longer have any contact? Who was going to enforce said penalties? So you think he blew up his 20 billion dollar pipeline (which he could have just shut off instead) to get away from some small penalty he wasn't going to pay anyway? Do you also believe in the tooth fairy?

@brucel7430 Seriously?
1
@brucel7430 It's an odd question considering the sheer amount of things out there which answer the question.
1
@brucel7430 This really isn't an issue of views and opinions. It's an issue of reality. Especially in the backdrop of the Biden administration blowing up the pipeline which was Germany's main energy lifeline. And that isn't even getting into the fact it turned into one of the largest ecological disasters in human history. Caused more emissions in one single blow than every American driving an SUV for the next 70 years. So no, this really isn't about "view points and opinions." It's about people being seriously angry at a chain of events.

This comment legit made me laugh lol

@razorsharpview9090 To be fair there is no such thing as reliable allies. As situations change so does the behavior of nations. As an earlier poster said, the safest bet is not to rely too heavily on anyone for your protection.

@jora5483 The OP is an Armenian you genius lol

Except it isn't their land.

@dzurfluh2156 When comparing the two groups or governments I think we also have to look at the 800lbs Elephant in the room instead of using rhetoric. In the past few decades the Azeri's haven't invaded anyone's internationally recognized territory and ethnically cleansed close to 1 million civilians. The Armenians have. The issue isn't really about Putin handling or not handling democratic governments. The issue more stems around cold hard geopolitical considerations. Blaming Putin or anyone else for Armenia's insane geopolitical blunders over and over again is quite strange.
1
@dzurfluh2156 So you're saying it's okay to invade another nation's internationally recognized territory and ethnically cleanse 800,000 civilians? That is your argument as to what makes it okay? Hmmm
1
@luiza7453 Yes I agree with you the Turks are denying it. I do find it interesting that you'll berate them for denying a genocide over 100 years ago, yet you'll deny one that happened just a few decades ago where the people guilty of doing it are still alive and evading punishment. Don't you find that strange? How you'll push for one from 100 years ago to be recognized and deny one that happened when I was in grammar school? On a scale of 1-10, how horrible of a human being are you?
1
@delta_glider4362 If you'd like I can explain that. Nagorno Karabakh itself only had about 40k Azeris. But you forget Armenia also invaded the 7 regions around Karabakh. A huge territory which account for about 20% of the Azeri land mass. And yes over 800,000 Azeri civilians lived in those regions which were brutally ethnically cleansed by the Armenians. So it's kind of rich that you're claiming ethnic cleansing now when in a huge war only about 20 civilians were killed. So you're saying brutally ethnically cleansing 800,000 civilians is fine? But when about 20 die in a huge war it's ethnic cleansing? Is that your position? Are you people insane?
1
@MrJdsenior, What you're proposing is impossible. It's huge multination corporations who are pushing this war and you're asking for multinational corporations like chip manufactures to be shut down on behalf of the war? Think about that for a second. Some of these chip companies can shut down the government before the government can shut them down
1
@CHINAISDEVIL This just might be one of the dumbest things I've seen written on youtube in a while. Calls for full scale embargo, while using a computer made in China, a phone made in China, shoes made in China and half the home appliances made in China. Good luck man lol
1
@UkraineNeeds There is something called internationally accepted borders in the modern era. Imagine every disputed them based on some vague historical claim and starting invading their neighbors and ethnically cleansing hundreds and thousands of civilians like the Armenians did? Think of the chaos. No rational group of people are going to be making these kinds of arguments.
1
This is so interesting considering the situation. Turkey no longer has any interest in EU membership yet makes EU membership a part of lifting it's veto on Sweden? That's basically saying one thing, they simply don't want Sweden in Nato. They're making demands on things they don't even want.
1
Why China's long term economic prospects (although not good) are still 1000x better than Germany's.
1
@Humperdoo Saves, So all this has nothing to do with the awkward situation of Sweden trying to join a collective defense organization while at the same time financing armed groups which are blowing up schools and hospitals in a member said of said organization? Sweden better hope Turkey isn't democratic at all, because even if it's a tad bit democratic no government can allow Sweden into Nato and not lose the next election.
1
@Pharisaer Watch, the difference being they're doing these exercises in what they and the UN deep with in their maritime borders. Not half way across the globe. Lets be a little realistic here. With this level of irrational and delusional thinking we're going to sleep walk into another war.
1
@Gustaf HauRuck, that's a scary situation in the long term. What it usually ends in is leaders who don't face consequences, who aren't battle tested and continually make really really bad decisions. Watching Sweden grapple with a generation changing decision like joining Nato come up, only for them to get vetoed due to their own stupidity is I guess proof that what you're saying is for real.
1
Thinking that is even possible is pure and utter delusion. Now if it were possible they'd be able to join (which is impossible) it might even even be worse if they did join. Russia and Iran would immediately stop all trade with Armenia. The other 3 nations a landlocked Armenia borders will also shut down all cross border trade because Armenia has territorial claims on all three. The country would legitimately collapse in about a month. America won't start ww3 over it and there is literally nothing the EU can do about it.

@Abonaif-c6x I don't think he was crying. Simply making a statement.
1
I'd imagine the foreign minister has bigger issues to worry about than the actions of a few war criminals in Yerevan.
1
@aartur1254 Except they aren't the ones who invaded another nation's internationally recognized territory and set up illegal militia's that ethnically cleansed 800,000 people. Facts>Your feelings.
1
@Canadiandude24. Yes being close to the Justin T regime has helped so many nations across the planet lol
1
@A.A1891 What you're saying may or may not be true, I won't debate that. But the last thing either of those nations need is some genetically damaged inbred from too many generations of inbreeding to give them advice on how to live.
1
@ИванИванов-е9щ1в I don't understand that jibberish. Sorry.

@solarlux7856 Some have the ability to broadcast their lies at higher rates.

@mrutik77 Where I get that number is quite simple. Actually I thought the number of Azeris in Nagorno Karabakh proper was 40,000. With that said, you fail to realize that Armenia not only invaded Nagorno Karabakh but also 7 surrounding regions in the 1990s. Those regions were huge and accounted for nearly 20% of the entire state of Azerbaijan. A huge area where over 800,000 people lived. After the war there wasn't 1 left. What happened to them? They just vanished into thin air? It's almost like the Turks trying to explain where all the Armenians in their country magically vanished to. It really isn't a winning argument. I find it surreal that all genocide/warcrimes/ethnic cleansing deniers all use the same exact playbook to deny their crimes. Do all you guys go to the same seminar or something?
1
@mrutik77 I see you've been going to those "How to deny genocide,warcrimes,ethnic cleansing seminars. Argument 1: It never happened lol Yea those 800,000 civilians who were living in those areas simply never existed right? lol
1
@Jemi Tipene, The EU has burned so many bridges that there is no way that will happen. They'll pay market price and have the oil shipped to them via the sea routes like every other nation the Saudis sell to.
1
@bonnierussell9798 Insurance doesn't hike up inflation. Expanding the money supply does. Inflation is just a symptom of that disease. If bank failures continue we already know the playbook the government has to stop it. They will expand the money supply and pump it into the banking sector to save the banks. Which like the OP said will cause massive inflation. Which is just another way to tax the public.
1
@Keith Kuckler, With elections looming I'd imagine Erdogan will be under massive pressure from his people to not let Sweden off so easy. From their point of view, how can they not veto a nation which has financed a terrorist organization that has killed more than 30,000 of their people over the past few decades. Think about that for a second. Surely vetoing a Nato expansion is a big deal but politicians as you know also need to think about domestic elections. I would not be shocked if he did Veto Sweden.
1
After Armenia had military drills with America not too long ago. Iran is having second thoughts. After seeing how Armenia is now treating Russia, Iran is having third thoughts.
1
@Helen Dimakakos, Or maybe they don't want a nation which financially supports an armed group which attacks a Nato member to actually join Nato. Crazy right?
1
If a large conflict erupts and your government isn't careful, your country will be caught dab in the middle of a very destructive conflict. :O(
1
@wilson0347 I wonder if the people on the losing ends of their interventions in Nagorno Karabakh, Syria, Iraq and Libya thought it was all a joke.
1
@Marvel Ervin, he is selfish because his people are angry that Sweden has been financing armed groups which are blowing up schools and hospitals in Turkey? Seriously? Children being blown up is your definition of humanity's progression?
1
@Satt M, so you're more worried about the briber than you are about the people taking the bribes? Are you insane?
1
@George Koroneos, I don't think Russia likes the idea of a costly intervention and occupation of Ukraine. They're essentially hoping for assurances that Nato won't move closer to their borders. I'm no fan of Russia but this isn't an irrational request.
1
@ukchatman4920 Except that isn't how the world works.
1
@Blitzkers99 We know what the Indians can't provide Armenia with. Toilets lol
1
@Blacksaintknowpercapita I wasn't saying it was your problem. I was taking a jab at Pakistan.
1
@Taner, when the government tells you what an interest rate is, you have a baked in conflict of interest. We have the same issue here in America, our government tells us interest rates are at 5 percent when everyone knows it's closer to 20-30 percent.
