  1.  @davidday2373  you got proof of that?

  2. While unfair, the opt outs are necessary to bring countries other EU members really want into EU.

  3.  @centurionoomae1543  nah, we don't think it's a failure. Just that Russia isn't as strong as we feared. The failure though comes that Russia had to move from encircling Kyiv and taking whole Ukraine to just having its forces occupy Donbas.

  4.  @jeremy7372  They don't seem to be running out of people though. Azov were not in power ether so am not sure how killing even a lot of the battalion members counts as denazyfying Ukraine. Russia just like many other countries has many nazi groups in it. To demilitarise Ukraine, Russia needs to break Ukrainian military. So far Russia shown it hasn't got logistical knowledge or power to do that. And yes. Because Russia is incapable of beating Ukraine, it decided to turn Ukrainian cities into piles of dust. All the more reason for everyone to join NATO for protection against fascist Putin.

  5.  @TileBitan  generational replacement? Sure. But current conservative public is what I was talking about.

  6. An attack on a bridge used by Russia for military purpose is not a terrorist act.
    2
  7. Because Russia already threatened you when you were still Neutral with no plan to join NATO.

  8.  @james6401  except ir wasn't any of those. Russia has done a good job of pushing everyone towards joining NATO with its relentless aggression and transgressions against others.

  9. No rights of minorities are suppressed though. The government is under no obligation to provide minorities with russian studies. There is also huge difference here. Baltics were conquered by Russia and it attempted to russify population on Baltic lands. Baltics are attempting to integrate foreign population in their own lands and are not forcing anyone to give up their culture.

  10. Alternative was Russian plant of extreme right variety. Lose lose situation.

  11.  @aaroncousins4750  easy. Johnson a few years ago blamed ice packs sent with fish on EU regulations, EU outright pointed out that it wasn't in their regulations and was done exclusively by UK lawmakers.

  12. You need to arm and provide food for all those mobniks. Remember russian column of vehicles at the start of the war? And that is not mentioning reaction from citizens.

  13. @Don´tbehasty EU has a president. 27 of them. As EU isn't a country or federation, supreme president position would be a nightmare to elect.

  14. EU is wonderful. Wish we were back in it.

  15. Belarus tried this game. Didn't end well. Feel free to leave NATO. It's not like Russia isnwell known to bully lone neighbours. And its not like Turkey isn't a historic enemy of Russia. Just don't be surprised when you find out you have Russians at the border towns and Russia needs to save them before you do to them what is well known to have happened to Armenians.

  16. I agree on attacking Russian military targets in Russia but attacking civilian targets? Fastest way to lose support internationally if to behave like war criminal hill fighting a war criminal.

  17. Turkey is in Europe though, at least partially. This makes them Europeans. As for sharing values. We do have Hungary in EU.
    1
  18.  @hamlet557  hence why Turkey needs to meet requirements first.
    1
  19. @hamlet557  how is this different from any other member? France been voting a lot of trade deals as well. As much as we love to shit on Hungary, the mation it self isn't a problem, Orban is. All it takes is one wrong guy to be elected. Look at US with Trump or France with Macron who is playing a wannabee dictator. If Turkey meets all the requirements, there is no reason for them not to join.
    1
  20.  @hamlet557  How is that different possibility from any other nation in EU? Italy has fascist party in government, Macron is a dictator wanabee currently, Nazi right are rising in Germany and slowly gaining seats and popularity. Polish government is tightening the noose. Hungary has Orban. Turkey may vote in the next Erdogan or they might vote in the next Attaturk. If they achieve all requierments, there is litterally no reason to not let them in.
    1
  21. ​ @hamlet557  Cool story but you forget one important part. We are not discussing Turkey of now but rather Turkey that has achieved requirments to join EU. Also nice to see you admit that we already have these problems in EU. But here's the thing. You still haven't given a good reason to not admit Turkey into EU once they achieved requirments. Your largest defence that they can elect another Edrogan litterally falls apart when you admit that AFD and Meloni are litterally everything you hate about Turkey. But we both know that you have not a single good reason XD. And I doubt you would admit to others i suspect you may have.

  22. Are they citizens? Also, while as none citizen I can't vote in general elections in UK, I can vote in local ones.

  23. Turkey can enter at any time once they implement all requirements. EU is very much welcoming Turkey in but Turkey must first complete its side of obligations.

  24. It's a beautifull Baltic country with rich history that is willing to fight for its independence.
    1
  25. @Adrian-xn1qw  by that logic, no country is unique. You can find everything, everywhere else. Actually, not many other countries have richer history because similar to Estonia, many nations including us and Russia are fairly young but their lands history like Estonia is old. Estonians are noriu but it doesn't make them the same as finish. And the point about fighting for themselves is in regards to your claim that they are nothing without nato. And again, it's a beautiful country. And Estonia is also rather rich and successful nation.

  26.  @ashleylittle8403  Even if Russia wins, hisotry has shown that countries can escape and gain independance from Russia. And sanctions might just bring the end to it like what happened to Russian Tsardom and Soviet Union both of which fell once their economies fell.

  27.  @MrScrofulous  You seem to forget that Taliban arose from groups supplied by USA in Afghanistan to fight against Soviets. And what was Iraq war? Lybian war? US and and UK organised overthrow of Iranian democraticaly elected leader and had him replaced with more agreeable dictator. Russia is a threat, it's true. But don't think that we don't see what America all over the world.

  28. US weapons are superior.

  29. In Lithuania they don't. My ethnic russian god mother who is also Lithuanian citizen said that a while back government came out in support of their citizens who are part of ethnic russian minority. I traveled home last winter and faced no discrimination what so ever. Russian tourists are citizens of Russia. A lot different from ethnic minorities in your own country that have nothing to do with what is going on in Russia.

  30. Some actually chose not to have it so they could get early retirement and a russian pension.

  31. And the rest of the world are holding hands and singing Canadian national anthem?

  32. He thought he would be done by lunch.

  33.  @jorik41  Well, Europe hasn't shown much unity when Crimea was annexed, why would he expect such a strong reaction this time? Especially if he as planned would have been done by lunch time.

  34. Yeah, putin will now bomb cities, rape and murder civies or kidnap kids. Wait a minute. He is already doing all of those.

  35. Desperate? You realise that the best way to win is to deny enemy supplies? Ukraine is also bankrolled by West. It ain't running out of ammo any time soon.

  36. All thanks to Russia. But that what happens when you have an Imperialistic country nearby with fascist in charge.

  37.  @squirrel9999  Russia invaded Ukraine.
    1
  38.  @squirrel9999  Hitler also had his reasons for attacking nations and yet we still see him as a monster. Ukraine has a right to make their own choices. And yes, it is that simple. Russia attacked Ukraine.

  39.  @stephenking4170  Orban really isn't a breath of fresh air. He acts pretty much like any dictator attempting to squash free press and impose his will on courts.
    1
  40.  @stephenking4170  autocrats are never good. But I know people like you, just like those who lived during Hitler's reign, you are willing to ignore your corrupt leaders more videos attempts at subverting democracy because you believe it benefits you and you won't be harmed in the long term. That is why people like you are fine with him oppressing LGBTQ, taking away freedoms from opposition and forcing courts in line with government views.
    1
  41.  @stephenking4170  Putin never had any intention to join NATO as he knew in advance that he would be refused and simply wanted to use that for his propaganda. The thing about Hungary, is that their democracyt is being aroded by autocratic president who ensures he can't be opposed by destroying corts and press all while putting down LGBTQ. And sorry, but as bad as you think USA is, Russia been far worse. Far far wioorse over the last hundred years.

  42. There is no persecution though. And local paranoia is litterally fueled by Russia.

  43. As ethnic russian minority in Lithuania who went to Russian school, it's kinda hard to persecute my fellow minorities.

  44.  @afcgeo882  Esli ty ne znaesh kak ruskije zyvut v Litve, ne upomenaj vse tri baltijskije strany. Ja sllyshal ot ruskih latvicov istoriji po obe storony. Tezelo znat komu verit.
    1
  45.  @afcgeo882  I heard stories for both sides of the argument. That there is oppression and that there isn't, both told by ethnic russian latvians. And i most certainly will argue when you drag Lithuania into this. Or did you forget that it's a Baltic state too?
    1
  46. That would probably apply to to many nations, including US. Also, they are very much wanted and appreciated so long as they don't support Russian war crimes.

  47. Even when a country done nothing to push them to learn and was happy to provide services in another language before? Especially when that language used to be secondary language used?

  48. Lukashenko is the Lapdog of Russia. Frankly the poor guy is in terrible situation. Russia plans to absorb Belarus back into it self and is preparing both countries for that. Once that happens, Lukashenko usefullness will run out. He knows that and attempted to cousy up to the West, effectively playing both sides. The problem is that being dictator he burned down bridges with the West after last elections and subsequent refuge crisis he has orginised. The man is a dead man walking.

  49.  @milostomic8539  All money can't go to corrupt people you support. Some goes into country. Maybe you should work on your country instead of taking hand outs and sitting on your ass complaining. Little wonder Kosovans wanted nothing to do with you.
    1
  50.  @milostomic8539  Kosovans are citizens of Kosovo, the nation you no longer or will ever control, because of your tendencies for ethnic cleansing and oppression.
