Turkey stands in the way of NATO expansion and endless wars.
Yeah, it's almost like they're not a modern North Atlantic country, or something.
Turkey just voted to admit Finland to NATO, more than doubling NATO's border with Russia. Erdogan is only using Sweden as an election issue to woo the head choppers. Dollars to donuts, Turkey will vote to admit Sweden some months after the election. Like Obama, Erdogan "will have more flexibility after the election". Erdogan does what's good for Erdogan.
