I have to say, the only thing that makes sense is that Putin got paid off to get these countries into NATO.

Otherwise he is really stupid.

Türkiye lifts objections to Sweden, Finland joining NATO

Türkiye agreed on June 28 to lift its opposition to Sweden and Finland joining NATO, a breakthrough in an impasse clouding a leaders’ summit in Madrid amid Europe’s worst security crisis in decades triggered by the war in Ukraine.

Türkiye “got what it wanted” from Sweden and Finland before agreeing to back their drives to join the NATO defense alliance, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s office said.

“Türkiye has made significant gains in the fight against terrorist organisations,” said the Turkish statement.

After urgent top-level talks, alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said “we now have an agreement that paves the way for Finland and Sweden to join NATO.”

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted Sweden and Finland to abandon their long-held nonaligned status and apply to join NATO. But Erdoğan had blocked the move, insisting the Nordic pair change their stance on PKK terror organization.

Finnish President Sauli Niinisto said the three countries’ leaders signed a joint agreement after talks on Tuesday.

The agreement comes at the opening of a crucial summit dominated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. U.S. President Joe Biden and other NATO leaders arrived in Madrid for a summit that will set the course of the alliance for the coming years.

It appears that Sweden and Finland caved on support of PKK & YPG, prissy objections to Turkish human rights violations, etc.

NATO, by their threatened expansion into Ukraine caused this war. It would be ironic if it weren’t intentional. Notice how Ukraine was never let in. NATO and America did not want direct conflict with Russia. That would be WWIII. They wanted to use Ukraine for a proxy war with Russia. That’s why Ukraine was never officially allowed into NATO. Unfortunately, for the good people of Ukraine, this war was planned by The West. Ukrainians have the honor of dying, as The American DefSec stated, to diminish Russia’s military capabilities. America is being run by evil men who wish war on the innocents in order to fulfill some horrible globalist vision of the world.

"The agreement is posted on twitter."

What are the unwritten agreements/concessions to Turkey? I don't trust anyone, let alone Nato, the U.S., and foreign governments.

Backstabbing of Kurds again. Turkey free to invade Syria whenever it pleases. So much for Nato’s preaching about sanctity of borders.

Done as expected. See what PutXi (Poochie) accomplished? Brilliant! ;D

And some of the European nations are contributing with further military buildups, training participation and efforts to plan for market changes. Speaking of which,...

Globalist investors don’t like wars. Well, none of us like wars, but some investors have been biased towards their own personal desires to the extent of pushing against U.S. defense and against our own allies. Wars bring unforeseen changes in markets. That kind of investor doesn’t like such changes in markets.

They also love imports from tyrannical nations. They aren’t required to pay as much for the suffering and deaths of slaves of communism or fascism, and they don’t want Americans being more valued for manufacturing job technologies. They would rather keep us as slaves in services...servants.

They like slavery, so they cheer for our foreign enemies and try to help them. When they call others globalists, they project their own evil on others.

Down with international tourism! Down with the drug regime. Drug addiction is slavery! Down with the real estate feeding frenzy! Americans need real, constructive jobs, homes and freedoms!

The vid of the signing ceremony shows Erdo looking like he's a little steamed, or disappointed at best.

This is good, and interesting, in that it affirms Turkey is willing to go against Russia’s wishes.

My position hasn't changed. I'm sorry that you think that anticommunism is Orwellian. I'd be happy to discuss 1984 and the policies of KGB Russia and the CCP, since you seem so confused.
