Erdogan did his best to negotiate like the big boys, not realizing that he’s a bit too old for the good ol’ “I’ll let you in my NO GrIlZ aLloWed club if you do my homework” style of negotiating.
Points for effort, some day Turkey will have an adult leading the country, but that day is not today.
We can start talking about Turkey’s EU membership once they fulfill the criteria or if that country at least starts showing some positive trend, but with Erdogan’s attitude towards the rule of law and his economic and foreign policy It’s about as likely to join as Belarus.
Good.
Fuck Erdogan.
Whahaha what a dipshit! Sweden is already in the EU so no need for it to join NATO other than giving Putler the middle finger, which is a good reason though
I thought it should be obvious, but apparently not for Erdogan.
I genuinely don’t understand why we just don’t go down the path of NATO+. Just let all countries except Turkey have a collective defence mechanism with Sweden
You have to be a moron to think Turkey will ever play a whole hearted role in any defence against Russian aggression anyway, even if they let Sweden in.
I genuinely think our technocratic politicians in the West simply don’t understand that strongmen like Erdogan or Putin work using hood logic, they don’t give a shit about what’s written in a piece of paper. The world isn’t a PowerPoint presentation and press releases.
The West has been collectively walking towards the abyss for the last few decades because it’s been consumed by this messianic belief that the international order is just because “it is”, as if it were a foregone conclusion just like water is wet. They’re not playing by your rules, you idiots, and if anything they’re using your strict adherence to some supposed sacrosanct rules to only emerge stronger from this (“let’s not seize the frozen Russian assets because Rule of Law [rule of law lol we’re talking about a state engaging in an ethnonationalistic war of annexation)” etc)
Who could have guessed that outcome…
That was quick NO from Brussels…..they’re not playing around on this one.
Good. Also, can we stop pretending like it’s about PKK now?
This is the polite way of saying “No blackmailing you twat”
makes complete sense as EU != NATO. It’s like demanading a Big Mac from Burger King
