Well, they didn't "invade", but were there, to calm down the situation...meanwhile the Taliban were hiding in Pakistan...
Building the needed infrastructure, like schools, water supply, hospitals, schooling for girls, education for girls and women, etc = ALL of that didn't help, to get the support of the other half of Afghanistan's population = men
As a change of mindset/mentally has to come from within the population, which wasn't visible......therefor the NATO blue helmets left..
Weirdly not even six months after the evil West left, Taliban were crying for humanitarian aid/money, food, medical units etc...
Allah should help 😂

@StillAliveAndKicking_ Oh dear...
It's actually €2,33 per month/head of us 450ish million EU citizens to "compensate" the loss of the UKs EU membership fee, it's affordable and appreciated 😁
Looks like, that you "over heard", that "he" also stated, that all of this subject "ISN'T OFFICIAL, but some 12 EUs citizens had a brainstorming about this".
Btw, THIS subject had been "discussed" in 2013 already shortly, it was off the table since...
Again: IT'S NOT UP TO THE UK to decide, when and with which conditions it could join the EU, but the EUs decision only...
Add on: you were stating in one of your earlier posts, that "the EU would force you to obey...., no thank you"... your words.
I'm asking you now, how does it come that on one hand, you want to desperately (and kabooom, we just join the EU again) join the EU, but DON'T like the coming criteria/rules of it, claiming already upfront, that you don't like this or the other, what ever that might be....
Look, ALL EU membership rules/laws/criteria are well known and visible at the EUs Commission site...
If one/UK doesn't like the membership/Club rules of that club/EU, it wants to join so desperately (because of economical desperation), then it SHOULD STAY OUT OF THAT CLUB, as simple as that...
Greetings from the EU27 😊

@NonFlyiingDutchman
That was about the eastern EUropean EU member states only, but didn't include the UK.
And Macron is the President of France, which is a EU member state, but he doesn't speak for the whole EU.
The EU would like to change the "one voice" voting system (which goes for some decisions made only) to a "majority voting system", because the EU doesn't want this "permanently blocking"... like Poland and Hungary are doing... anymore AND, as more New EU membership candidates are waiting to become EU members, would like to "sort" this issue upfront.
That's all... no more, no less...
As you're living in the EU, you should have known about it 😊
About this "multi-layered membership"... it was a subject in 2013 already ..... and disappeared again since...
Forgot to say, even in this video/Times Radio, the guy is stating, that all of this is NOT official, but some sort of "brainstorming" of 12 EUropean none official guys.
Look up at the Guardian, the article about the same subject says at about two thirds of the article, that all of this IS NOT official, but some brainstorming of the 12 ....
It's like, when Verhofstadt joined the "re-joining march" in London holding a speech, all Remainers thought, that he was talking as a official EUs spokesmen, but he spoke as a private person only.
Or when Barnier stated "that the UK is always welcome back in the EU", all Remainers were taking that as "we are invited", happily overlooking the other half of Barnier' s statement.... "under the known conditions"...
It's always this "exited reports about EU" now, probably out of desperation...but going back into the EU won't be a "quick one"...as we're talking here about a timespan of 15ish years minimum from application of a country until being a EU member state and you should know that as well... Criteria are all visible at the EUs Commission site...
Have a nice day 😊 🖐

@StillAliveAndKicking_
Well, as written before, this subject (two tiered EU) isn't even on the table... as there are two options available only:
full EU membership or EFTA membership.
Norway/EFTA has stated various times since years, that it'll veto the UK joining the EFTA, because they don't want a "trouble maker in their club".
The "Swiss modell/deal" isn't available anymore either as stated by the EU Commission, because of "too much hustle".
Therefor the only option available is full EU membership by applying for EU membership by fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria first (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission), if none of the EU27 member states vetos the UK/GB joining the EU again, only then the UK/GB would receive the status as a "candidate for EU membership", and then the 35 chapters (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission), have to be fulfilled/implemented properly, which could take decades.
No exceptions, no cherry picking, no fast track, no opt outs, as stated various times by the EUs Commission.
It's mandatory for ALL NEW EU member states, to join the Schengen area and adapt the €/Euro, as soon as the new EU member state has a stabile enough economy.
Estimated time (given by the EUs Commission due to experience), about 15 years time, which includes the time for fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria BEFORE a country can apply for EU membership.
The UK is recently moving away from fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria...
Greetings from the EU27 😊

@maggieliz1059
I neither have to "calm down", nor am I "closed minded", Japan "can't agree to it either, as Japan isn't even Nato member", before writing more about "who can easily join either Nato or EU", I strongly recommend you to look up for the needed criteria to join any of those two organisations.
Nato AND EU ARE already supporting Ukraine as much as possible, with money, aid, military equipment, advice, etc.
The "only" support Nato and EU aren't doing, is support with Nato troops....
Why did Ukraine received the status as a "candidate for EU membership" already, eventhough it wouldn't even fulfill the Copenhagen Criteria yet (neither before the war nor right now)?
Because "the EU27" can use "different pots of money", when a country has the status as a candidate for EU membership, therefor the EU27 can support Ukraine even better...
As U v d Leyen and some EU spokesmen stated recently, that it will take minimum 10ish years AFTER WAR, until Ukraine will join the EU27...
Add on - the procedure needed for joining the EU27:
a country (in this case Ukraine) has to apply for EU membership by fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria first (Ukraine received that, as explained before, without fulfilling it), Copenhagen Criteria including: a stabile democracy/economy, NO CORRUPTION, independent justice, free speech/press, human rights/womens rights etc...
Without war, it goes like that -
fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria first, if none of the EU27 member states vetos that applying country, only then the implementation of the 35 chapters (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission) would start, which could take decades...
Btw, the EU27 are a pragmatic, rule based organisation/union of 27 independent and souvereign countries with their democratic elected Parliament (with PR) and its MEPs working/acting on behalf of the democratic elected EU27 member states Gvts and their 450ish million citizens.
Greetings from the EU27

@mrstevecox7
Hi there, Steve 🖐,
yes, I agree, but there has to be a "change of mindset towards the EU" first, which has to come from within the UK and its people, otherwise the UKs electorate might vote for "leave" again at the following GE, and the EU27 definetely wouldn't want a "Brexit 2.0" again.
Also urgently needed in the UK is education about the EU, how it works and what it's for, that there is a Parliament with its democratic elected MEPs (with PR), working on behalf of the democratic elected EU27 member states Gvts and their 450ish million citizens, education should start already at school, like it is in most of the EU member states...
The UKs FPTP system should be changed to a "PR voting system", like it is in ALL the other EU member states and the EUs Parliament, to make sure, that a minority of 35% doesn't get a majority of 80 seats in the UKs Parliament... a proper Constitution (all in one, not a collection of loose papers) might help as well...
There is lots of work and ambition needed for all of you over there... and patience, as THIS won't be a "quick one".
The EUs Commission has estimated (due experience), that it'll take minimum 10-15 years AFTER applying for EU membership... please don't forget, that the application can be done only, AFTER an applying country has fulfilled the Copenhagen Criteria, which gets monitored by the EUs Commission, and then ALL EU27 member states have the right to veto the UK joining the EU again...
All infos/criteria needed for joining the EU are available at the EUs Commission site 😊
Being married into an in England living English family, but living in the EU with my London born spouse, who had to get dual citizenship because of Brexit, I'll cross the fingers for you !
Good luck and all the best with greetings from the EU27 😊 🖐

Well, here they come: crumbling raac buildings, potholes in the roads, disappearing NHS converting into a private health system US style, disappearing protection for labourship, environment, banking etc, food banks for hospital staff, sovereignty, which you always had 😅, blue passports printer in Poland, and sewage in all British waters....

Well, it wasn't especially "Germany", but more like "various military experts from different EUropean member states armys", as they had been analysing the "recent performance of the Ukrainian army".
Those experts, some from the German army, but also from the Austrian and others, criticised, that the Ukrainian army didn't "use the newly trained Nato tactics properly" etc ... but it wasn't anything stated by any Gvts spokesmen, German Gvt included ...
Notice: this is the channel of Times Radio, not known as the most German friendly channel...😎
As you're German by name, please look up at
"Kritik an Organisation der Ukrainischen Armee | ZDF

Military support to Ukraine:
rank 1: USA
rank 2: UK
rank 3: Germany
Humanitarian aid and money for Ukraine:
rank 1: USA
rank 2: Germany
Germany is doing the AWACS (sky spying) in cooperation with the US forces, is providing the Airbus A310 MedEvac, the " flying intense care hospital of the German army), is taking all the heavily injured Ukrainian soldiers and has taken about 1.1 million Ukrainian refugees (figures still raising) on top of the mentioned above....
MARS II, PZH 2000, Gepard systems, IRIS-T, Buffalos, COBRA system, Beavers have been sent with lots of ammo etc, Winter aid anyway, nothing to complain about ....

@maggieliz1059
Well, looking at the 200ish comments here, I wonder, how many have been watching the video/Selensky's speech, as only the last sentence of the whole speech "the EU" is mentioned by saying, "that he signed the very first .... needed for joining the EU"
Btw, I'm not "touchy", instead you startet with harsh words rather then with facts.. sounds much like Brexiteers come across...
Sounds as well like Remainers "wanting to go back into the EU, knowing as much/NOT as Brexiteers about the EU27, by stating "where there is a will, there is a way, the EU just has to..." 🤣😎
This is why I posted some facts... again ALL available at the EUs Commission site...
The headline of this video was a real "clickbaite headline", I'm sorry to say...
Add on: Stoltenberg/Nato stated AFTER the G7/Nato meeting in Vilnius "that there is a huge difference between a safety guarantee done by the G7, or one done by Nato, as that safety guarantee would cause the Nato alliance case article 5"
Edit: statement Stoltenberg
1
-
@maggieliz1059
So you obviously haven't listened to Stoltenbergs speech either? Because then you would have known, that the G7 agreed on supporting Ukraine/giving the "security guarantee", but not Nato...
Notice: the video was supposed to be about "Ukraine joining the EU".... most of the commenters above are pretending, that "it's virtually done", this is, why I stated, what I stated "a country being at war ....", not more, not less.
Wether you're a Brit or not, Brexit or not, I don't give a ... about it, being a EU citizen...
Calm down, Maggiepie, don't be so closed minded, and all the other bs, you were telling me...
Instead of answering about what Stoltenberg said, may be, you don't even know him?
Whatever, have a nice weekend, wherever you are...
Greetings from the EU27 😊

@herrwolf5184
Look, Ukraine/Donbass has been occupied by Russia, same as Moldova Georgia and some other ex USSR states, always with the "arguments", that the there living Russians are "under threat".
Cheap excuse !!
Russia invaded various countries in the past, like Afghanistan, Chechnya etc, recently it has its boots on 20 African countries as well with the "support" of Wagner group...Just read up about it at proper news channels, not GB news etc, might enlighten you !!
Btw, in Russia one gets imprisoned for ten years for "holding up a white sheet of paper in public", Russia Today is the official Broadcasting service in Russia = what Putler says, if not = ten years of prison...

The UK doesn't even fulfill the needed criteria for APPLYING for EU membership = a national debt of max 55 %, the UKs national debt is at 101,2 % recently.
The "terms" are the same for EVERY applying country = the Copenhagen Criteria
The UK has to apply for EU membership by fulfilling the Copenhagen Criteria FIRST (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission), if NONE of the EU27 member states vetos the UK joining the EU, only then the UK/GB would receive the status as a "candidate for EU membership", and then the 35 chapters have to be fulfilled/implemented properly (which would be monitored by the EUs Commission), if not done properly, joining process stops instantly.
It's mandatory for ALL NEW EU member states, to join the Schengen area and adapt the €/Euro, as soon as the new EU member state has a stabile enough economy.
No exceptions, no cherry picking, no fast track, no opt outs, as stated by various EUs negotiators/spokesmen various times since years.
Estimated time needed for joining the EU are minimum 15+ years AFTER fullfilling the Copenhagen Criteria, as stated by various EUs negotiators/spokesmen various times, they know due to experience of other countries joining process.
EUs joining criteria =
article 49 TEU

@Freedom Dreamer
They are no "preppers", they are "Reichsbuerger", they don't accept Germany's constitution, the recent system, refuse to pay tax, don't accept the authorities, but definetely nothing to do with the prepper scene.
The "Reichsbuerger" are under strong observation by German authorities (police, intelligence services etc) since years, this raid was a great success and shows, that the German democracy is working good. They did a great job, which I'm very happy of.

Martin Sonneborn is a German comedian...
The EUs Parliament is the worlds second largest democratic Parliament with secret, free, secret and independent elections (with PR) every five years since 1979.
The EUs "green deal" will go like this:
the EU27 will replace all fossil fuels (oil, coal, nat gas) with green hydrogen, the goal is focused on 2030-2045.
Hydrogen can be used as storage battery for the overloads from the offshore windmills and others as well as raw material for proceeding things like steel, glass, paper etc as well.
Lots of start ups are working on alternative storage possibilities as well.
Electrolyseurs (wind to power) are under construction everywhere as well.
The EU27 have signed "green hydrogen" cooperations with ten other countries world wide, to support each other with money, technologies etc.
Please look up for the "green hydrogen coast line", a project run by the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany, all subsidiesed by the EU and Gvts.
Please look up for Wolfspeed, a US company which will build a gigafactory for semi conductors at the Federal State of Saarland.
Infenion near Dresden
Bosch near Dresden
TSMC (Taiwanese company which will build a gigafactory for micro chips) at Silicon Saxony near Dresden
Intel near Magdeburg
Northvolt near Hamburg
Ford near Cologne
VW is building 3 gigafactories for EVs batteries in Lower-Saxony/Germany, sweden in cooperation with Northvolt and one in Spain or Portugal.

Be rather happy, that you don't have a trade deal with the USA...they would pull you over the barrel...
This is, why the EUs negotiators stopped all negotiations with the USA, because of the demands the USA have made, like chloride chicken, hormon boosted beef, gen manipulated food/unmarked, and those private arbitration courts, which would have enabled any US company to claim for "loss of profit" in case of any laws/regulations would have been changed in the EU...
....even if the US product wasn't produced by that time nor had been existing, the US companies still could claim either all EUs member states or the EUs Commission...that would have been a "blanco cheque" for any US company for permanent claims...
UK still can trade with the USA, same as the EU27 are doing 😊

Well, ALL European/UK included, reduced their armies/military equipment/troops, by about 70ish % after the wall came down, thinking, that we're surrounded by friends...as we see now = we're not..
BUT, looking at the NATO maneuvers in 2023/2024, right now = Steadfast Defender 2024 with 90.000 troops (January 2024- May 31st 2024) it's going pretty smooth..
And European/UK included military are ramping up their equipment etc again...Will take some years, but it's on the way ...
Rheinmetall is building a production plant in Lower Saxony/Germany as well as in Ukraine...
NATO troops =
USA = 1,35 million troops
EU27, EFTA, UK, Turkiye = 2 million troops 💪 😊
And that are the active troops only...
Think positive 😊
