  1. @Cesar Gonzalez, I'm fairly sure Greece was mostly a bystandard in the Cyprus war no? They pretty much watched it on TV like the rest of the world.

  2. The term superpower is thrown around very loosely. To be a superpower you need the ability to throw your weight around every corner of the globe. Turkey has the potential to turn into massive regional power, global superpower is simply not in the cards for them. In fact once the United States wanes, I don't think we'll ever see a true superpower ever again. The level of technological superiority you need to be a superpower will be difficult to attain because most of the planet is getting quite advanced.

  3.  @rojvankoc7252  Turkey won't be a super power but not because they're broke. We've seen broke super powers before. Remember the Soviet Union?

  4.  @rojvankoc7252  I don't think anyone claimed that ended well or that there aren't plenty of more powerful nations than Turkey. Are you feeling okay? You sound delirious.

  5.  @rojvankoc7252  Really by claiming a super power has to be rich? Or by talking about a plethora of other nations when the topic is about one specific nation? I don't think Turkey will be a super power either. But watching how emotional you are over this topic is kind of funny.

  6.  @rojvankoc7252  Is there something written that I'm unaware of that all superpowers last forever? As far as France "falling off the list," they've been nowhere near that list for a very long time. Israel and Japan have zero interest in being an international power nor do they have the ability to project power like one. America is a super power but waning. China is a regional powerhouse. Russia is a regional powerhouse but waning. Great Britain is behind those three and waning faster than all three. In 50 years there will be no superpowers. Only regional powers, it's possible the world never sees another superpower ever again.

  7.  @YG-fm2wv  Yes they have insane inflation with their economy in the toilet, yes their democracy leaves much to be desired. But Kurdish genocide? Seriously bro?

  8.  @robertevans2450  They'll be more than happy if their plane which is in the works is slightly better than an F-16. So them being caught on radar is a given and they know that. As far as engines they're far off making engines capable of supercruise. But they've got options in buying the jet engines.

  9.  @robertevans2450  It's fairly obvious to anyone watching this from outside that their economy is in shambles. 1. I have no idea how that will effect their building of this plane. Neither do you. 2. Not sure what any of that has to do with how this plane will perform. You seem emotionally invested in this, it's strange.

  10. @Andrew, It's youtube's Soviet Union type terms of service which force this.

  11.  @JoseJBronze  Funny how some people still think critique of the Soviet Union equates to critique of modern Russia. You do realize it isn't 1985 right?

  12. You feeling okay Jose? Why not try tackling the point instead of talking about RT which has absolutely nothing to do with my statement. Stop listening to those voices in your head my man.

  13. @Collin Marshall, Actually it was America who helped France overthrow Gaddafi. God knows what they offered Obama in return for that help. France has a weak military and was not up to the task, so they had to throw something America's way to get them to finish the job.

  14.  @jasonmaguire7552  Zimbabwe is essentially the worst case scenario. But if you look at the situation on average the nations within the CFA have lower living standards and lower economic growth than those outside of the CFA. Just because that continent has trouble getting certain things don't doesn't automatically make it okay for France to rob them for so long. You're using the logic of a sociopath. The idea that they're helping their victims.

  15. @Grine, You say "without much of a problem" but France engineered one coup and attempted another which failed. Not to mention the insane amounts of money they're funneling to terrorist organizations and warlords to destabilize and punish the government. Mali essentially went with Wagner to ward off French funded warlords. Once France stops destabilizing that country they won't feel the need to bring in groups like Wagner. Also as bad as Wagner is, it's still nowhere near as dangerous as having France in there. Last I checked Wagner hasn't slaughtered millions of people in that region.

  16.  @wilhelmbittrich88  It's a dying power only able to impose it's will on poor African nations with no weapons. The rest of the world laughs at them when they attempt power plays. It's getting so bad that even these small poor African nations are starting to stand up to these thieves.

  17. You might want to research the matter a tad bit more.

  18. This channel is truly a gem in the youtube universe. This guy's documentaries should be spread far and wide. So much better than the B.S. childish talking points that are thrown at us by mainstream outlets like CNN and the BBC.

  19.  @yuvalgabay1023  I'm asking a simple question. Do you believe South Africa should have stayed an apartheid state? Yes or no.

  20. @ few rational people are okay with the support Israel gets. Resistance against it is growing, it isn’t sustainable

  21. @Thomas Punt, there was a time which lasted quite a while that America's military might and being under said military might felt like a warm impenetrable blanket. Those days are gone, nations like Poland are getting nervous and thinking the day might come where they have to fend for themselves.

  22.  @chickenfishhybrid44  Poland isn't stupid enough to believe the situation of the United States defending them will last forever. I do agree about an EU army being a childish fantasy.
    1
  23.  @chickenfishhybrid44  I don't think anyone claimed anything was a "forgone" conclusion. I also don't think most rational people believe Poland shouldn't find a way to defend themselves when it's more often than not such protection won't last forever. It's not a forgone conclusion but very likely protection from half way across the world won't be indefinite. Crack open a history book for god's sake.

  24.  @chickenfishhybrid44  I'm fairly sure you responded to me, so it's fairly obvious who I am or am not debating with. This idea you have that the United States will continue to protect Poland till the end of time is nothing short of childish delusion. You're debating against people assuming it's a foregone conclusion that the United States will stop defending Poland in the near future. No one on this thread actually claimed that. You're literally trying to debate a ghost then claiming other people are. Honestly at this point it feels like I'm debating some inbred refugee.

  25.  @briangbur8743  Not sure I'd call them neocons. They're simply people who think what the media tells them to think. Remember the movie don't look up.

  26. Not one of the prime movers, theeee prime mover. They basically begged Obama to do it. Obama said he'd help but he'd lead from behind. Then after 4 days the French military was essentially tapped out and ran out of munitions and America had to step in and Finish it off. God knows what they offered Obama in return because France knew it wouldn't be able to handle the job itself.

  27.  @timmocnik3458  You sound like -a gender studies student. What random person said made complete sense. The only people who seem to take issue with it are people who are triggered by reality.

  28.  @0jabsroomer  To be fair you really can't blame them, most rational nations would behave this way dealing with what they're dealing with. When a nation breaks all the treaties it signs and arms islands which were given to them under the condition they wouldn't be armed, which also happens to be half a mile off your coast. Yea, I can imagine you'd be upset.

  29. I'm not sure it gets more conventional than that. People just don't like to say it out loud but it is conventional wisdom.

  30. @Bj0rn, that's an interesting take on the situation.

  31. @Philip Mulligan, Their economy is in a serious and dangerous downtrend for sure. One that could set them back a decade if not managed properly. However I don't think bankruptcy is within the realm of possibility.

  32. @Drone Strike, Forget kicking them out of Nato, if they even tried to leave Nato the leader of that country would probably get killed and replaced with a new government. They're stuck in Nato, even if they want to leave. Look at map my friend.

  33. @Kgi135, within 25 years the French will be pushed out of all these areas.

  34. @डॉ. स्टीवन अजीब They always come to mind when the subject of India comes up. I'm still blown away that a nation still has over half their population defecating on streets. It blows my mind.

  35.  Casanova  You expect anyone who has seen India believe in those numbers? It's as ridiculous as believing Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Fake news.

  36.  @suyashverma2338  Anyone who has been to India knows what you're saying is fake news. People are still defecating all over the place like it's going out of style.

  37.  @akhileshkumar-xm7ie  No other group of people on the planet defecate anywhere they feel like it. That isn't what I'd call developing. Humans generally got rid of this problem when we were still living in caves, hundred and thousands of years ago.

  38.  @riscnx  Picking a designated spot to defecate where it will either be deep in a whole or covered up with something is a lot more hygienic than randomly defecating anywhere you want like an animal. If this wasn't the case the vast majority of humanity wouldn't be using this practice since the caveman days. If you want to compare, why not compare a poor person in Africa for example who earns less than any Indian but still doesn't run around defecating in random places.

  39.  @stilxfound3813  India is far too corrupt to have been organized enough to industrial properly during the industrial revolution. Unfortunately Indians spend more energy robbing each other than producing. I think you know I'm right.

  40.  @jeanniemaycrawford4466  Yea because pointing out that defecating in the streets is disgusting is racist. I guess I wouldn't be racist if I was like "wow you guys defecate on the streets, that's amazingly awesome." lol Don't be intellectually lazy.

  41.  @stilxfound3813  What does the history of the United States and Europe have to do with you defecating in the streets?
    1
  42.  @radhika00240  Of course it didn't happen because you guys don't use toilet paper. I've seen the videos of people defecating in the street, not washing their behind and simply pulling up their pants and walking away like nothing happened lol Thank you for proving my point.

  43.  @pqr6614  Again, if that is the case why are people still defecating on the streets?

  44.  @ashishraul1991  I'm on interested in western propaganda. Also the fact Indians defecate in the streets at crazy rates has never made it to the mainstream media here. It's anyone who's bothered to look it up that was left shocked about it.

  45.  @sanketjamdade5612  You pity me for having pity on people who still defecate in the streets? Seriously? I'm sure just this week you've probably seen someone do it. Did you simply block it out of your memory banks?

  46.  @deerajsinghbhau8  Was that supposed to be some odd Indian insult? I am not offended by it. As long as you don't move to the west and defecate in my garden I'm happy.

  47.  white population is threat to our peace  They're not my community. Is it your contention that someone has to be white to believe that defecating on the street is disgusting? Wow you must have a horrible opinion of anyone who isn't white. Inferiority complex much?

  48.  @tuxsharx  The British stole the wealth of a lot of nations. Most of those nations don't have issues of their people defecating in the streets. It seems only Pakistan, India and the Bengali nation are the only ones suffering from this problem.

  49.  @kicksomeup6998  People do that, it's called a bidet. But that is very advanced when we're talking about people who literally defecate on streets and don't even attempt to clean themselves.

  50.  @Soul_2050  Hard not to think of toilets (or lack there of) when someone mentions India.
