Thought this fits in here better than the other Turkey-Iran or the Energy thread: Since the 90's the KRG has aimed to export its oil and gas independently of Baghdad through Turkey, Ashti Hawrami has consistenly made comments to this regard. As the Kurdistan region's ties with Turkey developed...

This is sickening, disgusting

I also apologize to the moderators for how off topic this thread is becoming. Something important that is occurring: https://balkaninsight.com/2022/04/05/eu-triggers-mechanism-to-strip-hungary-of-billions-worth-of-budget-funds/ EU is going to eventually go further with sanctions on Hungary...

If the west was more proactive, then and now, things would be very different and much better for Ukraine. The damage to Ukrainian infrastructure is around $65 billion or so. https://abcnews.go.com/International/cost-damage-ukraines-infrastructure-amid-russias-invasion/story?id=83719126 Even...

Also worth consideration:

I don't even know what you're arguing here, but you place great emphasis on how thick you are

? Russia’s hydrocarbon exports generate a substantial amount of revenue for the state, accounting for more than 50% of the consolidated government budget, clearly to Putin this is more valuable and of a greater degree of importance to him. It's over $50 billion dollars a year. The losses so far...

Putin will always control the gas pipelines into Europe, like his moves in Georgia. Like with Azerbaijan

Useful Infographic.

So basically, what I've been saying in the thread is correct.

So explain Erdogan's statement. Explain why he is adamant on reaching a peace deal which heavily favours Russia. Your goal is to harass, you are a lizard, I don't have to care where you get your opinions from because they are worthless. There is no cheap propaganda in the fact that Erdogan has...

Nigiri has agreed with things I've posted before, you being too thick to comprehend topics more complex then banal propaganda and the speakers on television is your problem, not mine, my memri friend
