Finland IS joining NATO, and there is nothing Russia can do about it. The finnish parliament told the world this morning 15th may that they have formally applied to join NATO a soon as is possible. British troops are already in Finland and Sweden conducting exercises on for now a small scale.

Please tell us exactly where this pooh is being pumped? Stop regurgitating lies you can't prove.

@danieljerram7964 THE MOST important place Geopolitically for NATO Britian, and the USA is the Black Sea region. Bottling up Russia in that area is easy by utilising both Turkey and Greece. This is their ONLY all weather port from which fleets can set sail all year round So politically for NATO the Black sea is THE most important strategic place to have unfettered access to. Turkey IS NOT as you claim "in bed with Russia." Where do you get this, would that be Trumps media outlets? Turkey and Russia are mortal enemies they have fought one another more aften than any two other countries in the last 400 years (counting the number of times the UK has fought either France, or Spain in that time it says rather a lot about your total lack geopolitical, and historical understanding). Wow this far worse than educating a commy bot, or Rusky/Chinese commisar.

@steveclark5357 Reall? History is written by the victors? Just please stop with this myth. I can name 4 times the losers wrote history, not the victors. The first being the attack on Greec by the Persian Empire, the second being the second crusade, the History of which as accepted by the world was written by the people working for Saladin, whereas that written by the British is slightly different (including the offer of Richard the lion heart's sister as bride to Saladin's brother, and the knighting of 20 of Saladin's best leaders). The history of the British isles for the next ten years after 1066 was written by the British, NOT the French/Norse who ruled here. Finally the Ottoman invasion of Europe. this was written by the losing people of Europe NOT by the ottomans. So stop with the myth mking, and continuation of falsities you expect people to believe!!

do please explain exactly why here, your post is both anti semitic, and provably racist. Turkey has fought more wars with Russia than any other 5 countries have fought wars between themselves in the last 400 years, that is THE reason Turkey joined. It also ensures Turkey and Greece don't go to war again. Just saying!!

Well considering that Rolls Royce leads the way in world developments about this kind of power generation, what I would say is it is about time the rest of the Uk caught up to the severn tidal generation projects, and the other tidal projects around our shores, and seas in England.

@youtubehatesfreespeech2555 Article ten written by the two countries who technically founded the alliance forbids this from happening. NATO grew out of the 1946 alliance between france and the UK. it didn't want to stand alone against either Germany (if it revitalised as it had before WW2, or Spain under Franco, who were the major national socialist country then in the world. the articles of joining NATO have been rewritten specifically for NATO, however they still contain the same original concept, we (The UK, and France) will accept any like minded country, and aid in your defence. This is the sole reason both Turkey, and Greece are both in the alliance, both need aid in stopping a rampageous Russia, and aid sometimes against one another. simple really Turkey wants aid in stopping Iranian influence in their area of influence, it makes sense to use this time as a talking point as to what aid that should be, and what defence measures they need now. Just who do you think aids Hesbollah in Lebanon, ceratinly NOT Isreal, Egypt, Turkey, or Saudi Arabia.

@youtubehatesfreespeech2555 LOL, sorry!! OK so basically for a brief (I mean whole chapters in a book) run down on geopolitics there are two very good books (written by an English Journalist of all people) which when I am answering people on here are never very far from my side, and are a tad dog eared now. The first is simply called Prisoners of geography. The very first chapter deals with Ukraine, Russia and Europe. Ukraine historically was the playground of cavalry the forrunner of integrated armoured and tank warfare, and is actually the soft under belly of Russia, which can lead directly to, and beyond Moscow. It also eplains the brief history of the area, By this I mean it doesn't go back to the Mongols, or the Vikings either, the latter founded Kiev (Kyiv) Moscow, and Khakov (Kharkiv) along with several other Major Ukrainian and Russian cities along their trade routes to Constantinople. The Slav's are simply the people whom the Norse (sweden, and Norway mostly in this case and via this route) enslaved to sell at the markets at either end of the journey. The last was just an aside for you. LOL The second is called The power of Geography, it isn't quite as good as the first, however it deals with the smaller powers for example Iran, Isreal, Saudi Arabia, the UK, Australia, Greece, and Turkey. It has it's own very good reasons to be read. I think anyone commenting on here should have at the very least read both of those books, they explain exactly why we are where we are today, and with just a tad of extrapolation where we are heading tomorrow politically, and globally. Both are written by Tim Marshall. He has also written several other top selling books

Just Myself Don't bother commenting if you don't know anything, which you don't.

Turkey will NOT leave NATO to face it's greatest adversary alone. Look at History, then you will see exactly why they joined NATO in the first place. Turkey knows if it leaves NATO it's access to the Aegean can and will be blocked by NATO warships easily. Plus Greece will do everything they can to keep Turkey in NATO it stops them going to war. This is rather simple geopolitics. Also exactly why would Turkey leave NATO and forgo being helped by both the UK, and France to develop soem of their newer weapons? Do come on this is a scenario made up by Bush's press that has absolutely nothing to do with reality!!
1
@danieljerram7964 Mayber then it is good that you didn't decide just who runs the Alliance, and that it followed the British/French alliance of 1946 from whence it sprang. Blame the UK, and France for having politicians on the top table, and generals a step below. Let us NOT forget the USA had to accede to this organisation to join in the first place.
1
@danieljerram7964 AAH You mean like the UK, France, and the USA then here I suppose? Other than China they are the only other countries around the world that can do their own things within, and place power well outside their imediate areas of Influence. Greece buys Russian equipment like the S300 systems yet no one says anything about that do they?
1
@danieljerram7964 Oh good this is one of the reasons I use this moniker on here. So then tell me exactly which Tsars, and what paper Putin is following? Then if you know explain it, and the reasoning geopolitically, it is all rather simple really, as well as historic. This should be a good discussion, but I don't expect a reply from you that is too much in depth, or too historically accurate, partly because I personally don't believe you. Oh your point about the RAF and interceptions of Russian aircraft? Honestly it is at least once a day, it only gets reported here if the QRF aircraft have to do more than one interception in a day, but the press never tell how many interceptions were done, just roughly how many Russian war planes were intercepted. Russia also runs the GIUK gap several times a day, and the Channel waters are the busiest sea lanes in the world bar none! Not much trade passes through the Bosphorous by comparison, and the Black sea fleet isn't that impressive in real life, as they showed recently when they Followed HMS Duncan on it's journey throughj international waters off Crimea

@johnwhitehurst474 To be brutal here, if you are putting this on YouTube, then you can bet the Turkish President Erdogun will already know of the rumours, and be dealing with them!!
1
Turkey WON'T object to either joining. They realise after 400 years of fightin almost constatntly against Russia that more troops in NATO means a weaker Russia!!
1
Look Turkey needs help to stop Iran. Honestly it really is that simple Iran is in Syria helping the present regime because it gives them a corridor via lebanon and Syria to the mediteranean coastal areas. Turkey wants a little help in this area, so this is the perfect solution discussions on what military aid NATO can give them to help them with Iran. Just who do you think funds Hesbollah? Honestly it isn't rocket science!!

@32shumble Well said, it was really Trump and his regime that started this to be honest.
1
@notsaying543 Have they? The USA offered their Patriot air defence systems to Turkey, who went for the s400's. Both the UK, and France are currently in Turkey helping Turkey develop weapons, and delivery systems, in the UK's case it is their own fifth gen fighter. Since when exactly has NATO not aided Turkey? They still make parts of the F35 aircraft despite Trump throwing his dolly out of the pram over the s400's. Not sure if they have any yet though, but it is a discussion Biden has reopened. WHY does the USA not want Turkey to receive the F35? That is simple honestly. Greece has the Russian s300 system, and Turkey is buying the s400 system. There is a world of difference in what both countrys are getting in the packages. Greece insisted that they, and only they maimtain their systems (which strangely means Russian scientists, and technology people on NATO soil, but only temporarily at the beginning. However Turkey signed up for the whole s400 package. This is THE major differece here, it means Russian scientists, and technolgy experts on NATO exercises, thus givivng them all the information they can gather about the F35 and how to find, and then track it. The Uk were a tad angry as well, but hey ho an ally is an ally, is an ally, and the UK and Turkey have only been on opposite sides in WW1 in possibly the last 250 years.

@noooname2568 That is possibly one of the stupidest posts on YouTube this year, and that is saying something!!

@32shumble Trump withdrawing the USA from NATO? Are you as hoestly as deluded as that looks?
1
NONE of the US positions are directly elected. In fact in recent times popular votes haven't elected a single president In the case of Trump, versus Clinton Hilary won the popular vote by a margin, but she didn't win in the 34 places that actually matter, pretty much the same as the first past the post system in the UK there!! No form of voting that isn't direct is fair, not any system of counting second, third or forth votes to get "the right" person voted actually works.The dodgy American system was set up by the founding fathers with their electoral college (because they didn't trust the general public to choose the correct person as President!!) Also despite what people believe, there is a totally none elected house in the USA called the House of Representatives!! They actually have most of the power in deciding laws in the US, though that bit is kept under wraps.

@Charles White What? I spy a Russian bot/commisar here. Putin is rougue, Boris is defending democracy from THE most aggressive country in the world!!
1
@machismo4256 Expect the USA to move liquified gas, and petroleum to Europe to replace said Russian gas, this has been going on for a while. So it wasn't such a big shock to Europe, possibly as this post is to you!!
1
@Emcfree2084 Why does he have to give his life for a tstatement on YouTube. You are being rather fanciful here. Please Don't reply with Russia has Nuclear weapons, they can't win a Nuclearw ar no one can and all politicians know this!! Maybe Ukraine should have kept theirs instead of giving them away, then Russia would never of attacked Ukraine at all!!
1
@webbo9798 AAH NO poland and Rumania are NATO states Russia can't attack Nato it will be minced inside a week!
1
@ddoumeche The Uk sent Finland weapons despite already fighting Germany in what was to become WW2! So you are totally incorrect there boy!
1
@Charles White Well if I am wrong about which country is the most aggressive then you won't be happy to know that the total list of wars runs 26 Russia/USSR, to 18 USA since 1945. Do read these next two bits of Russian funded works, Because it lists in total everything both sides have been involved in. I simply looked at everything since 1945! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Russia#Soviet_Union_(1922%E2%80%931991) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_United_States#20th-century_wars PS did you not know wiki is Russian funded? So at the very best the USA was/is involved in around less than a quarter of the wars since WW2, Heck even the country you claim to come from has been involved in more wars since 1945, and is the most successful at those interventions, being firstly the only country to beat the Vietnamese since WW2 in less than 18 months (including France, USA, and China who all tried and lost).
1
@Emcfree2084 Wow really? At just 57 he is too old to go to war? Where on Fullers earth did you get that piece of information? I am older than Boris only by a mere 7 years and I am still able to go fight because of this guy : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMxeIijscl0 This Vietnam veteran is older than me and he is there, your post is a joke, because you obviously just assume age to be a problem, or reason for not getting involved!!!
1
@ddoumeche However there ARE official British troops in Ukraine. They have been listed on both Forces TV, and the BBC. So what is your point here? You obviously are a Rusky commisar/bot.
1
@Oscarcat2212 Exactly, unlike Ukraine Finland, and Sweden both have modern forces, and equipment, most of which is amongst the best in the world. Putin's forces would be stopped well short of any targets in both countries.
1
@Oscarcat2212 The NLAW is a combined weapon from designed and devel;oped by Thales UK, and SAAB Bofors. It was this kind of thing i meant. Plus of very obviously course the Gripen. Bofors guns are used by the Royal Navy in all kinds of roles as well.
1
@Oscarcat2212 Well said Russia will bleed dry for invading Ukraine, and have to hand back crimea as well!
1
@Oscarcat2212 Crimea is Ukrainian. the amjority people there are Crimean Tartars. The sooner Russia is forced to move from ALL of Ukraine the better for the world.
1
@jabreck1934 Only a Rusky would say that to be honest!!
1
@Oscarcat2212 An open election in Crimea after all of this would Not be fair on the Crimean tartars, whoo are the largest group of people in Crimea by a long way. The interesting bit would be "should Crimea be part of Turkey?" That would get majority consent too.
1
@Oscarcat2212 That is fine, hoever Catherine the great caused the Crimean problem solely. It was she who took it from Turkey in I think 1727, or so, Zelensky sees it as part of Ukraine as does the rest of the western world.

@jabreck1934 Thank you. sometimes the truth gets lost on here.

@richard-gn3es So go on show me this real time data. This is going to be a long tome coming though I suspect.

@MrBabylon Name calling and implying your betters are less than you means you have lost before you started.

Look I live in the Uk but have German family German energy bills have trippled thus far this year, your farcical 38% id from where exactly? So I did a tad more searching Italy's power bills over a blazing hot summer have doubeld and are rising further, France have frozen their energy prices, but they are a socialist state and EDF is state owned so has to do what they are told, However France's bills for energy are so high they are reopening ALL of their Nuclear power stations (such is the shortsightedness of the left!!),Their bills for the French Government have quadrupled, and are still rising. Denmark were the reason why the EU has capped the price they will pay for Russian oil, as their prices are also through the roof. Even Dutch prices have risen by 70% with another 20% to 30% on the way. Why are your figures so wildly wrong?
1
@MrBabylon Yes I do know most, but not all of this. I live in the county in England that was the first place in the world to go to court over so called green policies before the environment was a thing. Here in Dorset the first so called environmental charge taken to court (before there were environmental laws in the uK, but still even just over 100 years ago dumping was illegal, made so by the Tory party i will have you know here.) Well here near a world famous site seeing spot called Durdle door way back in 1905 Dorset took a farmer to the high court in London for dumping in a sea cove,and they won. So don't try to lecture me about treating the sea ethically you just read stuff comment on it but very obviously do nothing about it. Until you do stop lecturing other like some politburo commisar using things you give lip service to only. I personally run a small charity here in Dorset looking after our beaches I am not a gren meanie by any stretch of the imagination, but realise that if we use these amenities, we the public have the right and privelidge to look after them.
1
@wiremucurtis3891 Yes, and one of the main reasons for this is that we are one of the main producers of gas, and oil in Europe. However it doesn't matter which government we have had there has never been seen a reason to store gas or oil in large quantities. A shortcoming of both major parties by the way. We produce oil, and gas so why should we store it? Has always been the argument against this from whatever party is in power. Also during the troubles with Ireland when they statrted bombing on the mainland here storing gas, and oil in large quantities in England, Wales, or Scotland, was seen as a major security risk, one well designed IRA bomb could have devastated an entire port region.

@DeHyntonGaming When your taxes go up to pay for this are you prepared to pay for this? No is the answer you really have to say here, no one wants to go back to the insufferably high taxes of the 1970's anywhere in the world.

I suppose Margarette Thatcher rrefused to tax ice cream companies because she invented sof ice cream in the compny she worked for, for the American market. Your comment is bolshie commy rubbish!!
