As a swede I am on the fence on wether Sweden should join NATO in the first place, but at least we’re not out for the stupidest fucking reason anymore.
I think most people who have switched sides, who were originally for/split, would today argue that it’s unlikely that Russia would stage another war in the coming years. Looking at how poorly they are performing in Ukraine.
So getting into NATO with the possibility that Erdogan’s demands will have an actual effect on the Swedish laws has not been deemed worth it right now.
I also doubt anybody reasonable would consider some of his demands to be achievable, Turkey in EU today?

What are your counter points? Other than not wanting to be a staging ground for a potential NATO/Russian war?

That’s a pretty good assessment. Thanks for the insight.

Don’t worry, there’s plenty of other banned weapons NATO can use before they go nuclear: biological weapons, chemical weapons, high energy weapons…
