I wonder if Neil Hauer knows that it was ''fascist'' Russia who was supporting Armenia from ''fascist'' Aliyev's war in 2020 while the West did nothing??? I'm so over the NATO/Western grandstanding over foreign policy.

Russia didn't do **** for Armenia. They still lost their territory despite being in a security alliance with Russia 

[BrokenMachine]

Of course EU won't care about dictators. It's all about money. If Europe it's prosperous as it is, it's only because it has taken advantage of countries in unfavorable situations. It's not something that's going to change

Russian companies hold big shares of Azerbaijans natural gas fields lmao

 

The west is hypocritical wbk but the difference between it and Russia, china etc is that it has a very powerful PR machine behind it to hide their fuckery.

LOL It could have been a complete disaster like the current war in Ukraine. A lot of the territories were never officially a part of Armenia anyway. Armenia's lucky to have gotten the ceasefire agreement it got in the end. Otherwise it could have been complete societal meltdown and destruction of the economy. Where's NATO preventing Ukraine's collapse?

I know what's wrong with it! it ain't got no gas!

[IBeMe]

Girl the EU supports Israel & Saudi Arabia  That alone should tell you that they have no morals and will chase anything for money, resources or geopolitical favors. 

[Jude]

At the OP acting surprised. Do you really think the world leaders care about human rights? 

[LadyDiana]

Well as long he ain't Putin afterall we kinda do need gas, like asap

[Mohit]

Lol and they were giving lectures to India for wanting to buy oil from Russia at a discounted price. All these western countries are selfish mfs. 

[Robert]

Putin’s table  
 

They need a solution to the energy crisis though so it’s not like they have a ton of options right now but wbk EU isn’t the human rights champion it proclaims to be.

[Cain]

I’m shocked as we all know throughout history Europe has always been a beacon of peace and non-violence or violation of human rights around the globe

 

/s

[Bosque]

Not the Americans lecturing Europeans about working with dictatorships The users here really live in a fantasy world where you can just stop using oil and gas tomorrow and everything will be fine 

[katara]

Countries don't give a **** about human rights outside their borders. 

 

I mean Europe lets refugees drown in the the mediterranean sea on the daily coz they don't want to host them...

[stevyy]

we can kiss those arses good riddance once we become energy independent due to green energy in like 25 years. <3

 

Good luck selling them gas and oil then.
