Comments by "HomerOJSimpson" (@Homer-OJ-Simpson) on "Why Turkey let Sweden into NATO" video.
Sounds a lot like it's more for political show to the domestic audience in Turkey.

Which is why I have no problem what Sweden did in regards to the EU part of the negotiations. EU will only accept Turkey when Turkey has changed from it's current state. 15 years ago they were HEADED in that direction and needed more time to get there...then Erdogan decided to go backwards.

@jaspermooren5883 The problem is that as an autocratic leader, he has a lot of pull in forming the opinions of the people. But I guess these types of moves will keep benefiting him -- increase nationalism at home, talk a big game on foreign matter, then take a small concession and blow it up as a major win. Much like how Trump did NAFTA -- called it the worst trade deal in history then made few changes, rebranded it, and then claimed it's a great trade deal. People will buy what these guys are selling which is sad.

@@arisnotheles "Turkey has never pulled a Brexit," because they never were part of the EU.

@lemonz, Very well put. I think that's an excellent point that illustrates that Turkey is no where near being allowed in EU as they currently are a danger. They have learned from Hungary and lesser extent Poland.
