Erdogan showing NATO what a great team player, has vowed to block Finland and Sweden entering NATO should they apply. www.independent.co.uk/…
Apparently contrary to what they previously said, Turkey now objects to NATO turning into a haven for terrorist, which is a code for Turkey being upset about Sweden and Finland not blocking Kurds from entering their countries.
And just by coincidence, Putin has suddenly changes his tune and has now made statements about that though unfortunate, Russia has “no problem” with Finland and Sweden joining NATO.
A cynic would probably conclude that there may be some coordination between Turkey and Russia, but that would be impossible. Turkey is a solid and loyal NATO member that would never cause difficulties or be disloyal to the alliance. www.reuters.com/… www.newyorker.com/…
