  1.  @MrJakeMallard  I think he is on about the NATO clause about democracy and human rights

  2.  @SCARPENTER290  Not really all NATO countries have an interest in seeing their alliance grow stronger. It's not in their interest to refuse such a good opportunity. Finland and Sweden has been Co-operating with NATO for a very long time they are pretty much members in all but name already.

  3.  @evilmex1962  Yep out of the 10 the top countries on the freedom index and Human right's watch's top 10 ranking 8 are European nations. Shocking I know, right? I was totally expecting to see China and the Taliban up there caring the most about human rights.

  4.  @notastone4832  So? Turkey clearly does not meet the democracy and respect of human rights that is demanded of NATO members either but they are still there. Canada doesn't have to send troops to Europe. It's a defensive alliance and it works great as a deterrent. How many times has NATO been attacked since it was founded? I guess if you count 9/11 that's one time.

  5. It's the other way around, Turkey wants to be able to buy weapons from Sweden and Finland. (Mainly Swedish military tech).

  6. You are uninformed the UN security council voted on intervening in Libya and Serbia. Nobody voted no. Even your dear Russia voted yes.

  8.  Roopak Singh  NATO members has no influence over every single foreign policy adapted by other member states. If the US wants to go to Somalia let them do so, has nothing to do with the rest of us. NATO is a DEFENSIVE alliance, do you know what DEFENSIVE means?

  9. NATO did not do anything Sweden and Finland applied for membership now it's up for each NATO member to make their own decision about if they should accept or decline that's all.

  10.  @dotmarceo  UN Resolution 781, Resolution 787, Resolution 816 and Resolution 820. The UN asked NATO to assist the UN Protection Force to implement these resolutions in Bosnia/Yugoslavia. If you are going to blame someone you should blame the UN countries that voted to implement these resolution. Spoiler alert nobody voted against it, yes even Russia voted yes.

  11.  @crakermac3818  NATO has had military co-operation and joint exercises with Finland and Sweden for a long time and they are NATO partners already. They are not hiding behind anyone, leading NATO members has wanted them to join for a very long time. Turkey won't say no they are just negotiating, they are already in a tough spot in the NATO alliance after doing weapons deals with Russia in 2019 so they won't dare to be the only country to say NO.

  12. what you mean good move? They will accept they just made some demands that's all. They want Sweden and Finland to lift their arms embargo on Turkey then they will accept.

  13. Erdogan has already made demands, he wants Sweden and Finland to lift their arms embargo. Looks like all he cares about is to buy weapons. So much for Kurds.

  14. Hmmmm who is best able to decide what's best for Sweden and Finland... Swedish and Finish people or some random dude with an Arab name.. Yeah I'd say Swedish and Finish people knows what's best for them.

  15. You do know that PKK is a designated terrorist organization in both those countries right...?

  16.  @kesscarlton8759  Improve relations with the country that wishes them harm? You do realize the sole reason Sweden and Finland wants to join NATO is because they feel threatened by Russia, right? No thanks. I am not too bothered about if we improve relations with the east, west, south north I could not care less as long as they are democracies. There is little point to get closer to dictatorships. I'm not too found of the US but I would take an alliance with them any day over being occupied by Russia.

  17.  @realtalk6195  You make it sound like Turkey made everyone a huge favour by joining NATO and forgetting about the fact that Turkey came to NATO seeking protection from the USSR in the first place.

  18.  @purplediabolo1748  What 42%? Are you talking about the 42% that voted for Le pen? You know she didn't say she would leave NATO she said they want to stay and keep article 5 just leave the NATO command structure?

  19.  @crakermac3818  They won't they are negotiating.

  21. Afghanistan? Lybia? You do realize that these countries have a history of violence long before NATO and the US went there, right? Just take a look at the Middle East right now, it's just a breeding ground for terrorists and has been for a very long time.

  22.  @yunusonder869  you are talking about suffering how about your genocide of Armenians? Yeah our day will come, but your day will also come. None of us are angels, we all have our demons.

  23. Turkey wants Sweden and Finland to lift their arms embargo on Turkey before they accept their membership. Turkey wants to buy Finish and Swedish weapons technology (mainly Swedish)

  24.  @TheRadFactor  United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 declared intervention in Libya and the establishment of a no-fly zone. NOBODY VOTED NO. You should blame the UN countries for that - not even China or Russia voted against it.

  25. It's a DEFENSIVE military alliance. There is no pressure to join conflicts unless it's a defensive one.

  26. And what are Russian people doing? According to polls a majority of them still support Putin. People get the leaders they deserve. It should not be up to the west to take Putin down, if the Russians are not happy with him it's up to them to bring him down. if they don't want to then I guess they deserve him.

  27. Why would you do that? Russia and China are the main source of cyber attacks against pretty much all European nations why would we make it easier for them to steal state secrets and technologies that they can use against us when they are strong enough that they don't need us anymore? Do you always invite murderers and rapists that wants to hurt you and your family to your house? You are a brave man if so.

  28. But if Ukraine was a part of NATO Russia would not have attacked, how do you come to terms with that?

  29. but NATO are their neighbours..... you think Sweden and Finland are the first EU countries to join? lol

  30. So you agree with Turkey that they should sell weapons to Turkey? Because those are Turkeys main demand to accept their application. They want to buy weapons.

  31. If Russia didn't attack their neighbours none of this would happen.

  32. It's obvious they want protection against Russia.

  33.  @iknowmesenpai150  Russia has 6000 nukes, if NATO and Russia goes to war we will all die anyway. It is estimated that 100 nukes is enough to destroy the world.
