Ukraine, Sweden, Turkey and NATO: It ain’t over till it’s over
thehill.com
Should the EU backslide on Turkish entry, Erdogan could well renege on his commitment to support Swedish accession to NATO.

There was a post from a mass media site the other day saying Turkey was approving Sweden to join NATO. This turned out to be a bit of wishful thinking.

    As a citizen from Sweden this is all on Erdogan now. I don’t think we should agree to any more requirements. Just playing it out for political gain.

          I really wanna know the opinion of a citizen of Sweden, the decision is about them. Do you currently consider Russia a threat to Sweden? It seems to me that they’re depleted after invading Ukraine and more or less failing. Would NATO not intervene in a hypothetical russian invasion of Sweden because of this vote?

            NATO is a defensive alliance that only defends (counterattacks) when attacked. If Sweden is not in NATO and attacked by ruzzia terrorists, they’d be supported in the same way Ukraine is being supported now. If in NATO and attacked by ruzzia, ruzzia would be instantly flattened by NATO.
