Finland joining NATO doesn't help Gotland in any way, which is what Russia would want to take over. And with that gone, NATO supplying the Baltic countries will get hard. The one that holds Gotland, controls the Baltic.

@amirhellsing5746 Ah, you are the dullest knife in the drawer. Got it.

@amirhellsing5746 You are a troll thumbing up your own comments. Some of the worst YT has to offer.

@kuvikina Baltic states are not NATO?! Ah, you don't know what Baltic states mean... It's Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Very much NATO members. And Sweden and Finland supporting terrorism is a Turkish fantasy. Please join the real world.

@amirhellsing5746 It's pretty easy. The golden rule applies. If Turkey blackmails the alliance, the alliance should blackmail Turkey.

@serkanister3620 Perfect, please tell your dear leader that!

@eblemis They have been selling drones to Ukraine just like they have been selling military tech to Russia and implementing zero of the other sanctions NATO members have applied to Russia. They are in it to profit. Just based on this alone they should be thrown out of NATO.

@kuvikina No, the security of the NATO alliance and its members comes before Turkey's blackmailing. Turkey is actively working against the security of the Baltic states.

@eblemis Documented 800 million by WSJ, so it's well over a billion in just what the Russian military complex needs. Tell me again how Turkey is a NATO member doing a balancing act? Repeat the "NATO member part" a few times and figure out why people have a problem with this line of thinking. Maybe ask yourself why Ukraine is having a hard time being accepted by NATO. Could it be the ongoing war from 2014? Can you join when you are in a state of war against another country? No you can't. And accepting Ukraine before 2014 is a fantasy, it being a Soviet Army with zero NATO comparability. In what fantasy world would NATO accept Ukraine is the real question. You are still talking like it's NATO and Turkey. Turkey is an alliance member. They are in NATO. We can judge a NATO member selling military tech for a billion to Russia during an active war on the European continent. Kick Turkey out of NATO is the right choice. If you don't uphold the first sentences of the NATO charter And are helping the enemy, then NATO isn't the alliance for you.

@eblemis Russian puppet? What became of all this "playing both sides" talk? Turkey can just continue with what it is doing.

@eget4144 Arctic EEZ? The Swedes? What? Hah you Turks are always so knowledgeable... Too bad the Turkish nation doesn't want so strengthen the alliance. Turkey will be railroaded in the end. But only Turkey decides how much this behavior will cost them. First on the chopping block are the F-16's. So soon the Turks will have nothing modern at all to put up against the Greek F-35s.

@SelfProclaimedEmperor No one will take over Kaliningrad to prevent an invasion of Gotland. That is not what NATO is capable of doing, on a political level. Gotland will fall first, then NATO will think about how do eradicate Russia out of Kaliningrad and it's oblast. So Gotland is first on the chopping block, then we can talk about blockades and the like.
1
@SelfProclaimedEmperor Same way Russia captured Hostomel. By air with their VDV. And Gripen's with meteors are world class sure, but they have to be in the air, and armed. Since Sweden was one of those countries that said we had concluded that the invasion of Ukraine was not going to happen, I have just a few misgivings about our capabilities to respond when it actually matters, ie the first hours.

@loki76 Since when do we have cruise missiles? And Kaliningrad can only be reached from the middle of the Baltic while straight in the cross hairs of the S400s. When we get the new RBS15 Gungnir we can talk about Hitting Kaliningrad. We are far far way from being able to flattening a city 300km from our shores. And if you look at the state of our mine laying capabilities, you wouldn't flaunt it. Sweden has really taken a dive since the cold war ended. We can mine our inlets, that's about it.

@anatolian6269 BRICS is not a rival to NATO. One is an economic organization, the other a defense alliance. Turkey can gladly join BRICS if they want. It's just the IMF for developing countries more or less. And remember, the Turkey that bled and fought for the UN in Korea is not the Turkey we have now. Countries change. And Turkey has definitely changed. And please remember, second most numerous army in NATO is not the same as the second strongest army in NATO.
1
@anatolian6269 But Erdogan is making the decisions it seems, and it is the decisions that are the problem. Ataturks Turkey is gone. Now we have Erdogan's. There is a reason NATO countries are sanctioning Turkey now so to speak.

@alexseguin5245 Russia managed to take Hostomel, in a country swimming in AA compared to Sweden. Our navy hardly has any AA to speak off. So as long as Russia bases the attack on airborne VDV, like they would, our navy is useless.

@ardaturkoglu11 You are really really brain dead believing all that Turkish propaganda. Do you know which country classified the PKK as a terror organization before everyone else but Turkey? It was Sweden.

@loki76 "Russia had Hostomel for a few hours before he Ukrainian military slaughtered the most advanced troops Russia sent to that airfield" Oh please stop spreading pure fantasy. You are behaving just like the Russians. Writing "several hundred Gripens", fawning over a 160km range for the Patriot as extremely long range, thinking we have Taurus or RBS15 Gungnir. etc etc. And then you also write "You might want to learn the capabilities of Sweden before posting stuff." Jokes, just jokes. Remember why we even have Patriot in the first place? Because we couldn't even send up Gripens to chase away nuclear bombers, and NATO had to protect us. But tell me more how we will wipe out Kalliningrad's airfields. I'm sure even our armed forces are interested in hearing that..

@ardaturkoglu11 "then put their logo and leader pictures on your buildings in your capital?" Did the Swedish state do that? Or was it protestors doing a lawful protest? I know this concept of democracy is hard for Turks, but at least try. And yes, the ISIS flag has been flying in public in Sweden. And that was ruled lawful by the courts. Flying flags of a terrorist organization is not outlawed in Sweden, since it's free speech. The same free speech can be used to hang a doll of Erdogan from a lamp post, which has been done too. And now some Finns paraded around an Erdogan doll draped in PKK flags. But I guess you can't grasp that either.
1
@ardaturkoglu11 I already answered you. There have been flags from them too in public in Sweden. If you want to read about the court case then write "Vifta med IS-flagga inte något hetsbrott" and translate. Not illegal. It's that simple.

@ardaturkoglu11 Read the NATO charter. Does Turkey live up to it? No they don't. So why are Turkey still in the alliance? Turkey doesn't belong in NATO anymore, thanks to Erdogan.
1
@ninofromkitchennightmares1497 Go against the alliance they are a part of? Then why even be in it? And I don't think Turkey's zero is higher Greece's zero. And Turkey started being difficult, demanding the source code for the F35 as a Tier 3 partner. What entitled and greedy idiots they are. And then they bought the S400, and lost billions because of it. It's like they are wanting to shoot themselves in the foot.

Valid comment when Turkey doesn't uphold even the first sentences of the NATO charter
