Will Ukraine join the EU soon? (+ every other candidate) 

ottomans and bulgaria moment

same and in my opinion its only a matter of time before we rejoin the EU, GB

I reacon I might be a while though. I’d give it 10-20 years

I wish, but the "brexiteers" are too proud and too loud for it to happen anytime soon

I have to agree sadly I couldn't vote then

Give it some time, it will happen.

Happened in the uk house of commons too, old dude caught watching porn during a debate

let's not forget that the opposition did 3 national votes. The first two didn't pass, but then the third one did. So......the people want the eu, the leadership wants brexit. *slowly pulls out pitchforks and torches*

@@enderman_of_d00m24 that's just called electoral college

@@enderman_of_d00m24 I wouldnt say its that clear cut

You'd have to give up the Pound Sterling currency.

@@seanC3i couldn't they just pull a Sweden and purposely not meet the economic requirements to adopt the euro?

Ooh that could be pretty interesting actually

Technically Kazakhstan is partially European. And Greenland and the faroe islands were part of the eu at one time.

@@rehanakhund2578 Greenland and the Faroe Islands could probably join without much hassle because they are apart of Denmark which is a EU member.

@@graceneilitz7661 true If the Turkic republics in Russia seperated Would they be considered European and so possible for the eu It would be interesting to see a Buddhist country join the eu(kalmykia). And then there's also cape Verde That apparently kinda wants to be part of the eu even though it's African and already part of the African union According to the eu accesion wikipedia article Some people even want Canada to join.

@@ExtraInExile What about Belarus, Armenia and Azerbaijan What are their chances to join the EU in the near future?

Yes and rpeathing misstakes to Fashisem.

i think you'll classify pineapple pizzas as mistakes

Yes they do

Yes

And that's the biggest question which will literally decide the fate of ukraine,who will win

​@@germanempire8678No one at this rate

Turkey isn’t a good idea while Erdogan is in power. Or anyone else who isn’t fully democratic.

That's very true, I didn't really want to mention specific people and instead focus on actual issues that Turkey has with EU members to not piss of Turks too much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I do hope Turkey gets a better leader in the elections soon.

​@@ExtraInExile Trust me you wouldn't piss Turks off by mentioning erdogan, we hate him

Yes, hopefully brexit can be reversed 🇪🇺🇬🇧

There's actually a lot of them in this video that are on that list, but I chose to not give any particular one the spotlight today :]

And war crimes: *[redacted]*

Agreed.

It's true that they haven't made as much progress as Ukraine has, although Georgia is smaller than Ukraine, and about 77% of the population supports EU membership.

That aged well after the protests eh

Good.

wdym by because of their own guilt

@@Thejghostodst "Guilt is a moral emotion that occurs when a person believes or realizes-accurately or not-that they have compromised their own standards of conduct or have violated universal moral standards and bear significant responsibility for that violation.[1] Guilt is closely related to the concept of remorse, regret, as well as shame."

@@user-gr9fq9gt9w i mean wdym by The Dutch are basically refusing Serbian membership because of their own guilt

@@Thejghostodst Because they feel guilty for not preventing the massacre...

yeah well I think my country (serbia) should start by admitting genosides previous generations have commited. Unfortunately the people are held in the churches and politicians hands they are being brainwashed literally balkans are famous for its outlandish nationalism like all balkans are serbs and albanians when they say thay are actually the only real balkan people original better than everyone its very retarded but what can you do

Kazakhstan is too great to join, we would only drag them down

@@ExtraInExile the reichtangle is well a rectangle Kazakhstan is also a rectangle kazakhstan also has a German minority cuz the USSR deported alot of Germans Hmmmmmmm (Also Russia has a German minority in a region sometimes called Volga Germany)

@@rehanakhund2578 Russia had Volga Germans, but they have mostly been expelled or emigrated at this point

@@BloodRider1914 according to Wikipedia there are still 600k left 400k in Russia 200k in Kazakhstan Idk how accurate those numbers are tho

Ukraine is definitely going to survive the war, if Russia was able to win unconditionally it would have done it by now. Where the border will lie is an open question, as well as the economic and political state of the countries involved, but Ukraine is not going to stop existing again.

I'm not sure, a one-state solution would be ideal, but even without Erdogan, Northern Cyprus is against that idea. If Turkey ever rejoins the negociation process for EU membership thanks to a milder president, then this is an issue that will definitely resurface and would be solved eventually

@@ExtraInExile Actually Turkish Cypriots who has been there before 1973 and their relatives usually support the idea of unification since most of them were originally from the Southern part of Cyprus. Also there are some tensions between Cypriot Turks and the mainlander since the mainland Turks have bit of acondensing, arrogant view towards Cypriot Turks. Like it's not uncommon for a mainlander Turk to act like a Cypriot Turk owes them for saving them. Things like that strains the relations. At this point I am just hoping that Erdoğan will finally lose the elections in May.

Ukraine is not european

@@bloodkelp wtf

@@bloodkelp you ever seen a map?

@@bloodkelp well its european you dont need to lie because the framing was cringe. There is no european family or identity. Its quite dangerous to frame it that way cause you never know when another Lauren Southern is gonna pop up

Ukraine will never win

name checks out

@@bencarpendale man noticed the joke

It's good to be an Albanian!

I dont think we should ever join the EU

The bit about the UK at the end was mostly just a joke to end the video lightheartedly, but I don't actually think that the UK will be able to rejoin in the near future. As for why they left, while Poland does sometimes fall out of line with the economic and immigration policies, they are still expected to follow them, which the UK didn't want to do. They also wanted to have more sovereignty over the rest of Europe.

Yeah, a big part was about the 2014 - 2016 European Refugee Crisis from Syria. Poland didn't have as many immigrants as the UK because 1: The UK is seen as one of the wealthiest countries in the world and is seen as a nicer place to live in (dunno if that's true or not, but it has/had that reputation) and 2: Poland just kind of ignored the EU and took in as few refugees as possible, and 3: The UK has a better reputation than Poland for being nice to immigrants. The economic reason is definitely turning out to not be true. There's a lot of debate in the UK about whether this was an inevitable consequence of Brexit, or whether the corrupt politicians are keeping this extra money for themselves, or whether different events like COVID are making it difficult to tell, but maybe that's just coping. I kinda agree it is the easiest country to join, because it has all the requirements of an EU-state by default as a former member, and the only things it falls short on are a few recently-changed laws (as long as the EU gives it the same opt-outs it had in 2015 but that's a big if) Nations may well block the UK, but they might not be able to, since there isn't a lot of framework for countries leaving and then re-joining the EU, and nobody knows if the UK will have to go through the whole process again or not. A lot of countries like Ireland and France would welcome another heavy net contributor to the EU budget. Personally, I feel the main reason Brexit happened in the first place was because it was the right place at the right time: Being with the pound instead of the Euro and having stronger links with the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc, the UK wasn't fully in-sync with the EU. As I said earlier, the refugee crisis turned a lot of British people against the EU. The US and China were seen as much more reliable business partners at the time (bare in mind, this was before even Donald Trump became president). Two of the country's most popular politicians at the time - Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage - were hyping it up. In the long term, the EU are pushing for a federation which a lot of British people don't feel is right for them because they don't trust the EU to look after British interests (like say, if Argentina invaded the Falklands again, would a federal EU army be willing to lay lives on the line to protect a British Overseas Territory?) Many of them weren't exclusive to the UK, and many people said that if Italy held a referendum at the same time it would also have voted to leave. Many of these are the hopes and fears of the UK in 2016, and the chaos of the world since then has rendered it moot and made it a much easier decision now. I've always thought that if the Brexit referendum was passed a couple of years earlier or a couple of years later, the result would be totally different. Sorry for getting so serious over a silly joke outro, but I did appreciate it and found it funny! :D

Ukraine will cease to exist in the future so this isn't an issue

(they dont fear recognition of norhten cuprys because nobody recognizes it not even the uk which helped turkey with the war )

I've never heard anyone put the Caucasus in the Middle East, that's pretty interesting. Georgia is technically a part of Europe due it stretching to the Caucasus Mountains, but "Europe" is hard to define, so I kinda get where you're coming from.

@@ExtraInExile usually caucacus is considered western Asia with Azerbaijan and Georgia being considered slightly european

The part of Russia that borders the caucacus is also considered European therefore the caucacus is connected to Europe.

@@ExtraInExile Yeah, Europe is a little harder to nail down. I usually go by the hard divide with Chechnya being the beginning of Asia.

@@rehanakhund2578 Yeah, the Azeris are as Asian as the Turkish, and to me that means the Armenians and everyone around there. Plus before Russia stole that area, it was under Ottoman and Iranian influence, though the Ottomans were a hybrid empire, firmly European AND firmly Asian.

You should learn a foreign language (once Russia annex whatever remains of Ukraine ) so you can move to another country and integrate within their society I see you have a good enough English already The end of Ukraine is inevitable

@@baha3alshamari152 Did your heart sank and shatter when Wagner wanted to overthrow Putin? Such a pity they didn't continue, it would've have ended better if they reached Moscow.

Common currency is helpful, don’t remove the euro, just add deadline

@@snomcultist189 I don't want to get rid of the currency but the requierement of adopting it.

I'm not sure, but maybe because it sets a precedent. Like if the requirement wasn't there, then the EU bodies couldn't actually push any member states to get their economies in order to join the Eurozone. It would leave the EU without any initiatives.

@@ExtraInExile As in it wouldn't have enough compelling arguments for deeper integration and desired reform of the economies? Possible. Personally, probably just my inner sceptic speaking, but I think it's a leftover from the more staunchly pro-centralisation group's failed attempt at a solid target for concentrating this area of economic policy in Brussels, but this couldn't be pushed through so they settled for a lack of deadline. I don't have any evidence of this, but it wouldn't be the first time of something like this and I just felt like sharing.

@@ShadowSkryba That's also a pretty good explanation. Might also be possible to fact check that by seeing if there are any articles about it in any EU treaty.

"Crna Gora" is the name in the Montenegrin language in the Latin version (I think) and 06 stands for 2006, the year that Montenegro became independent

ukraine aint getting in because there is no way in hell that the current EU big pleyars will let 40 million people shift the balance from west to east overnight.

Maybe sometime in the future, but all 3 of them have a lot more trouble than even everyone from S to F. Might be worth exploring in a different video though
