Here's a nice educational interview for you

Sure, it was called the war to end all wars. So much so that people didn’t flinch at the idea of sending their children out to so the same 20 years later. Why?

I just checked this, as it sounded too good to be true.

There is zero evidence- it's not appearing in any major newspapers, and stories about Turkey and the Black Sea don't mention it. There is no Turkish government statement, Hurriyet doesn't mention it, or Al Jazeera.

So, it's probably disinformation. If anyone has reliable sources, I will apologise.

Good old twitter, eh?

I can't find anything which explicitly spells it out, they seem to be extrapolating from some general statements to the end of protecting shipping in the Black Sea.

EDIT: On a related note I wish people would stop the ARMA, DCS, etc. inflammatory titled clickbait people doing to make a little advertising money and/or stir things up... I can see it a mile off but that doesn't make it any less ******* stupid, we don't need that kind of rubbish.

Agree thats my take.

Ergodan has probably said its unacceptable for the grain deal to stop but if it does they will take action or something like that.

There is a big difference between extrapolating and "(Turkey) has just been announced that..."!

I long for the days of @Turn and his verbatim Bloomberg/ reuters feed.

Something I see a lot with this war - people turning throwaway general remarks into an intention of action, almost as if they think if it is perpetuated enough it will become fact :(

EDIT: Maybe in some cases well meaning but still just stupid.

Yes Scott Ritter is a massive Putin fan, like trump. But there will be more too it, he will be on the kremlins payroll

Putin runs a lot of stooges, he has them in every country, including this one. They have a huge machine running the world over in every area of social media.

No it doesn't, you're typing rubbish and accusing me of welcoming Hitler because I said World War One was a human tragedy. If you enjoy warmongering so much stop posting on here and get yourself to Ukraine, I'm sure you'll have an excuse why you can't go join in the fighting though

The human tradegy of WW1 was perhaps avoidable. But what do you think the alternative to this war is? It's either Ukraine give up their country and accept ethnic cleansing or they fight for their survival. There is no other alternative because of Russia's objectives.

Russia wouldn't stop at the Ukraine border either if they made it there.

the world must look so simple to you when everybody who doesn't agree [with opinions forced upon you by western mainstream] must be either on payroll or personal friend of Putin...
