Sweden inched a step closer to joining NATO on Monday after Turkey’s president sent accession protocols to parliament.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine prompted both Sweden and Finland to seek NATO membership but the former’s entry had been stymied by Turkey.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s sign off on the accession protocols comes after months of delays but it is unclear how long the process will take.
Erdogan’s proposal must make its way out of a parliamentary commission and then be opened up for a general vote on the main floor of the assembly where the Turkish president and his allies have the majority needed to ratify Sweden’s bid.
Finland, which applied for membership in May 2022 along with Sweden, joined NATO in April 2023.
Erdogan accused Sweden of being too lenient on militant groups, most notably the militant Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), and harboring people associated with a 2016 Turkish coup attempt.
Turkish officials have also accused Swedish officials of being complicit in Islamophobic demonstrations, such as the burning of the Quran.

Swap Turkey for Sweden
Will NATO defend Sweden against the hordes of Africans and Muslims that are invading their country daily?
RE: Will NATO defend Sweden against the hordes of Africans and Muslims that are invading their country daily?
Forget it. Most of the NATO countries are committing national suicide like Sweden is.
They need that Russian strawman to remain relevant and continue to suckle at the US teat.
Meanwhile, member nations are collapsing into utter filth and 3rd-world savagery.
Another reason to get rid of NATO.
Yep. Turkey should never have been admitted to NATO. Islam is incompatible with western civilization.
Turkey still illegally occupies Northern Cyprus.
Sweden should join nato but America should leave. Europe can defend itself
As long as they’re not attacking us who cares what they do.
Oh NOW Sweden chooses a side.
They were more than happy to send iron ore to Hitler during WWII.
Screw Sweden AND screw NATO.
Oh good - now any enemy of Sweden shall forever be enemies of my kids and grandkids.
And they (the kids/grandkids) get to borrow money fron China and pay for all of it - including the enemies.
Right now we’re busy flushhing HUNDREDS of billions into Israel and Ukraine, after the trillions wasted in the Mideast. We should have ne problem funding and warring with every shithole on earth.
While the eurotrolls and mystery-meat on FR rejoice.
Putin is laughing at useful idiot cucks like you.
You and the rest of the war whores are so laser-focused on him that you’re ignoring the corruption taking place in the US and Canada.
didn’t think you Russo-stooges would like that uncomfortable truth being pointed out
Could this be true? Surely an exaggeration, misinterpretation, or misunderstanding!
I thought I read on here that Putin was unconscious in intensive care after an ominous Cardiac event? No?
I just heard about this now lol
