  2. Still needs Erdogan’s signature in 15 days (he signed Finland’s accession in 4 days).

    For:287
    Against:55

    (Finland was 276 For – 0 Against)

    Congrats!

  3. Now let’s see what Orban will try to exhort out of this. There is no way he will just approve it without getting something in return

  5. Until it’s signed I won’t celebrate

    That said, about damn time we got this far!

  6. It has been a long road to this day but regardless of all the drama i am happy that we will finally be able to call Sweden a NATO member soon.

  7. The process has been a disgrace. Surely they need to look at how new members are ratified going forward.

  8. I seem to remember Hungary saying they “wouldn’t be the last” to approve them. So, what now, mr. Orban?

  9. How can Hungary believe that it’s winning, when people will look at them with wary eyes?

  11. Ok Whoreban, we won’t be as patient with you as with Turkey.

  14. There were 55 votes against it. I wonder which parties voted this way.

  15. I know there’s stuff to wait on still (Erdogan’s signature and Hungary on the whole) and I know Russia has Kaliningrad and I know that Estonia and Sweden don’t always get along (we think their businesses and banks like to rip us off and get some of that sweet sweet money which they’d never dare to cash in from swedes themselves and a lot of them seem to think we’re either drunks, prostitutes or thieves), buuut…

    Gimme that Lake NATO! Woohoo!

  16. Can we do nation building in Hungary? Will be cheaper than Afghanistan.

  17. Let’s fucking go! I’m happy to all of my Swedish brothers and sisters! Just the final boss left. Much love from Finland!

  19. Yeaah, I wonder what caused the sudden change of heart.

  21. Kaliningrad is rapidly turning from strategic asset to an open air prison for the Russian Army.

    There’s some poetry in a Russian leader losing access to the Baltic Sea while trying to gain access to the Black Sea. This is like the third time it happens.

    Fourth Baltic Republic when?

  23. approved: akp(erdogan’s party), chp(centre left-kemalist), mhp(ultra nationalist), deva(pro european)

    abstain: dem(kurdish nationalist- centre left)

    against: emep(leftist), iyip(centre-right), saadet(islamist), hüda-par(kurdish islamist), yrp(far-right), tip(far leftist)

  24. Sweden hasn’t good record among Turkish public opinion. They joined NATO, but they should set boundaries between themselves and the PKK and recognize them as a terrorist organization. No party opposed Finland’s NATO vote.

  25. Seperatist Kurdish DEM party said no to sweden despite massive simping from sweden LoL. Maybe this will make them remember Why they were first European country to designate PKK as terrorist.

  26. How the fuck did they set up NATO so that one member could hold the entire organization hostage? Insane.

  27. If Orbans conspiracies were right Orban would have been assassinated. I wish he was right

  28. “Someone” was saying as long as he is the president Sweden couldn’t get in NATO. I wonder what happened…

  30. Fuck yes! Welcome brothers, sisters and frenemies!

  31. Orbán just invited the Swedish minister down for a little blackmail attempt.

    He wants Sweden to not vote for putting Hungary in the corner. Because noon puts Hungary in the corner.

  33. If Erodan doesn’t sign he’ll lose a lot of credibility with the congress he worked so hard to empower. Obran just lost voting rights in the EU. If he takes a hit in NATO he’ll be completely isolated. He’s last remaining ally is the flip flopping Slovakia.

  35. Orban is bought by the Russians , so don’t hold your breath

  38. Block each and every cent of EU funds to Hungary until they approve Sweden into NATO. There is no point in negotiating with current Hungarian government.

  40. Please let this happen quickly. It has taken too long as it is.
