Turkey, which joined the alliance in 1952, is a crucial player in NATO, boasting the second-largest military in the 30-member group after the United States.

Erdogan wants something, typical politics/10

Still, if the rest of NATO want Finland and Sweden to join, Turkey will break sooner or later.

While its probably concernign for Russia that Finland joins, the border the share is really rough land.

It's pocketed with lakes, forests and hills. It would be difficult for either side to invaded one another. Versus Ukraine which is typically all flat land relatively speaking.

They seem to got bored. They want some action.

Sweden is sitting on the sideline of all wars since Napoleonic wars when they lost their last war to Russia, and Finland is on sideline since WWII when Stalin forgave them blocatde of Leningrad and alliance with Hitler if they promise neutrality. So now they want to be on the battlefield again. But good old times of Carolus Rex are not going to return, in case of war, both countries will be torched with Russian nuclear weapons. Not a kind of action they want.

They will regret they gave up their cozy neutrality for a chance to on a front line. But they will not be regretting for too long. Russian hypersonic rockets fly fast, and you can't regret when you are dead.

Though Turkey has officially supported NATO enlargement since it joined the U.S.-led alliance 70 years ago, its opposition could pose a problem for Sweden and Finland givennew members need unanimous agreement.

Turkey has repeatedly slammed Sweden and other Western European countries for its handling of organisations deemed terrorist by Ankara, including the Kurdish militant groups PKK and YPG, and the followers of U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen. Ankara says Gulenists carried out a coup attempt in 2016. Gulen and his supporters deny the accusation.

Erdogan is a zog ******* but yeah both these countries have been actively supporting various terrorist organisations involved in suicide bombing, drug traffic, child recruiting etc.

And now we are supposed to come to their defense against the bald russian manlet?

Tbh erdogan probably doesnt care about terrorists is just trying to extort money

NATO reaches a deal with Turkey toadmit Sweden and Finland

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that the world’s most powerful military alliance reached a deal to admit Sweden and Finland after resolving the concerns of holdout Turkey.

The push to add Sweden and Finland to the world’s most powerful military alliance comes as Russia’s assault on Ukraine amplifies fears of other countries in the region.

Previously, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would not approve the NATO applications of both Sweden and Finland.

Putin has said a lot of things recently, invading Europe has consequences. Like being remembered as Putin the world's finest NATO salesman. GJ poots.
