Thank you President Ilham Aliyev for hosting NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in Baku, Azerbaijan. I'm very glad a peace deal has been worked out with Armenia, and transitions are underway towards renewable energy in your country. As a bulwark against Russian expansion I'm happy to have you on board, as together we are stronger when dealing with the destructive nature of Russian aggression. All for one and one for all! 🛞🌅🤍🕊️⚖️

Omg he speaks perfect English I am in shock 😮❤❤❤ I didn't know that.

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

His mom and dad sent him to an English school when he was going through grade school years. Or, even if he's from a poorer background, he knew earlier on that English was the ONE THING that would, all things being equal, accelerate his path way to the top. Many leaders from around the world who envisioned having to work with Westerners ... learn English when they're in position to do so... because, again, they knew if they're prepared --- in whatever field they go into (politics, engineering, teaching, research, etc), IN ADDITION TO LEARNING ENGLISH --- that they would be able to move up the ladder of success much easier (in their own country).... because, inevitably, some of their bosses earlier on in their lives would want to know, among the many young/ambitious working under them .... "Okay, who, among you, speak English? I need someone to speak to my American contacts," etc., etc.

*Just like their common neighbour 🇬🇪Georgia, I really feel it would be GREAT for both 🇦🇲Armenia & 🇦🇿Azerbaijan as if they can apply for NATO membership as they’re Western oriented & Secular Democracies, will really be focused into development & mutual cooperation 🤝 rather than fighting between themselves over Artsakh/ Nagorno Karabakh as they're already in NATO's 'Partnership for Peace' - just like their neighbour 🇬🇪Georgia has been applying since 2008 (& already been accepted to invited later)!* As an example, 🇬🇷Greece has had tensions with its neighbours like 🇦🇱Albania, 🇲🇰North Macedonia & 🇹🇷Türkiye - but because they’re in the EU/ NATO, they have never become full conflicts in recent history. (Unlike post-Soviet 🇷🇺Russia-🇧🇾Belarus-🇺🇦Ukraine-🇲🇩Moldova-🇬🇪Georgia which are currently members of neither and have been in conflict in recent times).

[@bart5158]

It could make Nato very unstable very quickly

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

Nations and people intimately know if you're in strong alliances, you're stronger and safer. Alliances also have less conflict (even mortal enemies like Turkey and Greece) and when they have them, other partners step in, asking both to make concessions.... After all, why would the older partners want individual states who DON'T or CAN'T make concessions and/or compromises, in hard situations? If you (or people who are representing) are not willing or able to listen to your other partners --- especially the bigger, more powerful, or founding alliance members --- and make hard bargained for compromises.... for the good of the WHOLE team.... how would those allies know YOU would fight or die with them, when a powerful outside force/country/people threaten them? This is why countries like the US, France, Britain, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Norway, Spain, etc. WILL WIN, should they go to war with Russia or China, who also are very powerful but who LACK such credible MULTI-NATIONAL alliance networking... with other technologically advanced, rich, and powerful allying countries who are willing and able to come to FIGHT AND DIE with them, in a war involving just ONE of them... In today's world, no matter how big or powerful you are (say you're China or Russia, with very deadly military capabilities), if you're fighting war on your own, it's like you're saying, as a CHESS MASTER, "I am so good, nobody and no MACHINE is gonna beat me." It ain't so. MACHINES (or ALLIANCES) --- the combined brain power of many other master chess players working with world class computer scientists and programmers ---- WILL BEAT YOU... because you're alone and they work as a TEAM, with many world class chess players, computer programmers, historians, tacticians, etc. And the REASON why Russia and China CAN NEVER come to a defense alliance like NATO, etc. is that they are BOTH autocratic/authoritarian nations and people. NO CHINESE and NO RUSSIAN, leader and citizen, is going to WANT TO go to the other people country and DIE for them, with them.... because it is not in the nature of AUTOCRATIC/AUTHORITARIAN people and societies to do so. They may form TEMPORARY alliances OUT OF CONVENIENCE, for brief times.... like what Italy, Germany, and Japan did... but eventually, again, alliances formed by AUTOCRATIC/AUTHORITARIAN people and countries can't last & won't last... because NONE of them is willing to make COMPROMISES on fundamental ways of thinking and doing things. To be a part of NATO or any other similar global or regional organization, for example, you (as a country) MUST amend you national laws... to ensure how you do things (business, military, government, education, scientific research, etc) is COMPATIBLE with what other members do those same things. Again, are CHINA, RUSSIA, North Korea, India, Iran, Brazil or South Africa --- the 5 to 7 MORE tolerant, more democratic, more freedom loving CORE NATIONS that are ALWAYS talking about schemes to unsettle the West, to topple the Dollar, to form a system different from and superior to SWIFT, the World Bank, IMF, etc.... to get away from the Evil Western European types, etc ---- are THESE NATIONS willing and/or able to CHANGE their LAWS, their various regulations, their various military structures, etc., to be more similar to the other friends and partners laws and regulations? No! So, China, Russia, India, South Africa, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, etc. CAN NEVER BE TRUE PARTNERS... not in business & commerce, not in military standardization, not in political & governance structures, not in civil and penal laws, etc.

[@torstenrose5417]

🇩🇪 Ich kann eine Aufnahme in die NATO von ehemaligen sowjetischen Teilrepubliken und inzwischen unabhängigen, freien und politisch demokratisch orientierten Ländern nur befürworten. Sie sind nicht wie Russland oder auch Weißrussland seit Jahrzehnten von ein und der selben Person regiert worden. Zum Thema Wahlsieg Putins in Russland kann ich als freier, demokratischer und unabhängiger Bürger der Bundesrepublik Deutschland nur sagen das dessen Wahlergebnis von 87% die für Putin gewählt hatten nur den internationalen Medien und auch den deutschen Nachrichten und Berichten sagen das diese Meldungen nicht manipuliert oder verfälscht wurden wie es in Russland auch noch Jahrzehnte nach den Zerfall der Sowjetunion nun wirklich nichts geändert hat. Die russische Bevölkerung wird weiterhin unterdrückt, beschattet und gehindert freie Meinungsäußerung und freie und geheime Wahlen durchführen zu können. Hier in Deutschland wird man nicht gezwungen zur Wahl zu gehen oder beobachtet wo und ob ich mein Kreuz auch wirklich an der richtigen Stelle und richtigen Partei mache. Es heißt freie und geheime Wahlen und es heißt Demokratie und nicht Diktatur oder Terrorregime wie es ggf in anderen Ländern der Erde noch üblich ist. Wenn hier in Deutschland die CDU oder SPD oder die AfD durch die Wähler den Wahlkampf gewinnen und die Regierung stellen, dann habe ich es als Bürger zu verantworten welche Partei oder welchen Politiker ich zum Wahlsieg verholfen habe und nicht solche Meldungen hier im deutschen Fernsehen wo wir mitbekommen das Putin die Wahlen in Russland mit 87% gewonnen hat und diese Wahlen weder geheim noch frei waren, sondern das man als Wähler quasi gezwungen wurde wem und ob man wählen geht. Das ist in meinen Augen keine Demokratie und auch keine demokratische Politik die dort in Russland aber auch in Weißrussland geführt wird. Ich kann es wenn nur begrüßen das Staaten wie Armenien, Aserbaidschan, Georgien aber auch die Ukraine die nicht zu Russland gehört, sondern ein souveräner und freier Staat ist auch den Drang besitzt ein festes Mitglied der NATO zu werden. Anträge sollten solche besagten Länder ruhig und ohne Angst und Gefahr von Russland zu erwarten der NATO stellen dürfen und ich wünsche jeden Land so wie die beiden letzten Neuzugänge der NATO Schweden und Finnland das sie der NATO beigetreten sind zum eigenen Schutz und zum Schutz sämtlicher freien, demokratischen und unabhängigen Staaten nicht nur aus Europa, sondern von mir aus auch von Ländern der Welt die einen Beitritt in die NATO in Betracht ziehen. Ich kann mich nur wiederholen willkommen in der NATO.

[@foxmercuryearthylog120]

It's quite standard for world leaders and high-ranking officials to be fluent in English, as it's commonly used in international diplomacy and communication. President Ilham Aliyev's proficiency in English reflects the global norms and practices among leaders to engage effectively on the world stage. It's not surprising but rather expected, as it facilitates dialogue and cooperation across nations.

[@elultimobuho]

Azerbaijan is an ancient and great country, with a history and culture worth highlighting. It belonged for many years to the Turkish Kingdom and then to Tsarist Russia until after many years it separated from the USSR. Although it has a population of majority Shiite Believers, they coexist with the Sumites, and the Orthodox Christian and Jewish minorities. It is a country that, if not infiltrated by foreign interests, has great tolerance and a high level of culture and freedom. And it is in full development largely due to the Gas Reserves. 🇪🇸👍 🇦🇿 💪 ✌️🕊️

Russia does like the "no active border disputes" requirement nato has. Not just ukraine woth chrimea , Donbas, and other occupied teritories but transistria (a separatist movement of Russians living in Moldova). The Georgian conflict where russia again moved in a lot of agents who started attacking georgian citizens and then when the police got involved russia invaded the northern provinces. Chechnia is fully occupied by russia. In the Armenia and Azerbaijan conflict. Russia rolled in and litterally moved the border away from legally recognized location to create an active border dispute. This is just european and Eurasia regions. I know there's a lot more Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan. Excluding the African conflicts and Burma. I hope Azerbaijan can join quickly but we need georgia too. Otherwise that'll be a hard alliance to support given they only border actively hostile (russia/Iran) or neutral nations (georgia). Not sure their relationship with Armenia as I feel alot of it was provoked and instigated by russia and they are currently at peace after the short conflict (taking their land back last year)
