Not a fan of ethno states at all. Firmly in the realm of extreme politics imo .Yeah, Turkey should not be a NATO member at all. Instead, it should be disassembled as a country and given the Kurds the right to establish their own state.
You know the Kurds are the largest population up to 45 million people that hasn't got yet its own state.

Spot on, double standards all the way inside NATO. What is NATO doing concerning the casus belli Turkey threatens if Greece exercise its legitimate right to expand its EEZ to 12 miles? casus belli is a threat of war for those who dont know. NATO is pretending it hasnt got any clue. What has NATO done when Turkey opened the gates with thousands of refugees storming violently the Greek frontier last year? nothing.
RUSSIA is like a password to all hell break lose over nothing...
Half of Cyprus is illegally occupied by Turkey (a NATO member) at the moment, which would be a legal nightmare in the event of any Greek/ Cypriot attempt to reoccuppy...
Yeah, it's true. A lot of people (I.E @dowie) fall for the myth that article 5 requires NATO members to go to war with anyone who attacks a NATO member, it's not true, as I said they aren't even required to react militarily merely to render whatever support they deem "necessary".I have no idea whether this is true or not (too drunk to look it up - my google fu is compromised) but the irony here is that the only country to ever invoke Article 5 is the USA.
The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
This can’t possibly be real?

TBH nothing about any of this makes logical sense.IMO nothing else really makes sense in terms of the cards on the table

One theory that's gaining traction on the web now is that the entire current Ukraine thing is just misdirection so Putin can move tons of troops/equipment into Belarus ready for the "invasion" and then Lukashenko will declare Belarus has re-joined Russia.
It could be worse guys, this guy could have the ear of the POTUS. I'm still not 100% what he's on but I just failed a drug test watching this.
