Ukraine, Sweden, Turkey and NATO: It ain’t over till it’s over
thehill.com
Should the EU backslide on Turkish entry, Erdogan could well renege on his commitment to support Swedish accession to NATO.

There was a post from a mass media site the other day saying Turkey was approving Sweden to join NATO. This turned out to be a bit of wishful thinking.

    The US has been building military bases around the globe, constantly conducting military exercises and bombing arabic countries as a display of power and provocation against any nation who doesn’t ally with them, eventually they will start a 3rd World War.

    NATO is based on the assumption the US will win any wars it fights,despite having been defeated by Vietnam and several others. The benefit of joining NATO is “you won’t get nuked the US when the war starts”. Naturally the neo-libs will mention this also applies in reverse but this is in fact the nature of a world war, you can’t stay neutral, you’d either ally yourself with China, North Korea and the others, or you’d ally yourself with the United States and other Nazi-sympathizing nations.

    Therefore the benefit of joining NATO is securing your foothold on the winning side when WW3 happens, the downside is becoming a puppet and being required to bomb innocent civilians in Arabic nations, also probably Cuba and Venezuela when the US decides to go there.

      Or, you know, a bunch of countries who agree not to invade each other. Sounds kinda nice to me. Also, to help each other if invaded… it really sounds like… a way to prevent war.

      But sit there with your insane words and pretend Russia isn’t actively trying to capture a peaceful and sovereign nation.

          Honestly. How stupid do you have to be to write this? Its impossible to give credit to NATO for wars that never happened, because… they never happened. And you somehow think that’s proof NATO doesn’t work?

          Why don’t you try looking for the reduction in war and death instead? We had two world wars in a 20 year span. How many have we had in the nearly 80 years since? Totally proof NATO is a sham…

          The fact that Russia has not started invading Ukraine earlier is proof that they have prevented multiple wars already.
