While it is easy to say that every country can do extraordinarily well if they have abundant natural resources, Norway is basically the only one that actually managed to profit from that on a country-wide scale. That being said, Norway is basically swimming in oil, no wonder they are doing well compared to similarly well build countries

Welt is the Bild for those that think or want to appear as intellectual.

Exactly, I mean you can even add Non-Steam games to Steam. Yes, you don’t get achievements that way and there’s no support for workshop or big picture or the community plug-in, but you can launch the game from the steam library.

On another note, can Steam, even for a small payment of 2 dollars, add those functions for games not bought in the Steam store, but that could have been bought through Steam? I really want to have TW3 with achievements, but don’t want to buy it again.

Question is: do we want to have China be the one to break the hegemony? Di we want to have anyone dominating trade world wide is another as a matter of fact.

Not that hard to find

So, how good do you think Brazilian Isrealian relations are? Remember, whatever deal you make between countries, no one can force you to uphold them (best example Russia with their Minsk 1 and 2 treaties)

Not sure islamist djihadism has any political affiliation.

Anyway, China never does anything without an agenda. Remember the “help” in SEA and Africa? Yeah, they gave money, sure, to exploit the countries, legally that is.

So, who would be an honest broker then? One that has the leverage and international standing to actually mediate between countries? No country in Arabia for sure, leaving European countries, the USA, China, India, Russia, South-Korea, Japan and Australia.

Some of these countries aren’t at all interested in foreign disputes, some have their own agenda (looking at you Russia and China)

Is that so, I’d argue the reason for that lies in the fact that I am not old enough too have seen a Turkey without Erdogan. And while I apparently should read up in the Cyprus problem, I cannot know about every territorial dispute everywhere

Well Politico belongs to the Springer company. I don’t expect them to actually be journalists

This is all the more baffling, as we’re talking about a first-world country (or two) consisting of two nationalities and ethnicites that also hail from ALLIED first-world countries. That this issue cannot be resolved diplomatically or rather that one involved party would rather risk war then actually resolve this, is a testament to how stupid and unproductive nationalist ideas are.

In this sense - if it hasn’t already been clear for some years - fuck Erdogan and fuck those that are ignorantly following his misogynistic, anti-semistic, islamistic and nationalistic pseudo-rethorical bazar-trading style of leading a country. We should not even talk about Turkey as potential EU-canditate. They don’t possess any of the qualities we like to see in a potential member. Most of all their actual interest in pursuing a common goal of enriching and bettering Europe.
