Sweden to Apply for NATO Membership

I really don't think so. Turkey is in a very strategic location. Turkey has leverage and a very good chance of getting the concessions they want. Which is sad, because I care about the Kurds, and they seemed to be one of the few good, humane groups in Syria.

Also Turkey has the best attack drones now. They beat previous-generation Russian equipment in Nagorno-Karabakh, now they're pretty effective against current Russian equipment in Ukraine. USA and our vassals don't want any of that medicine.

Yea I mean you’re free to disagree or course and we won’t really know for sure until something like this gets tested, but I’ve stated my opinion on the matter and don’t have much else to add.

Seems like they're long overdue for a true Kurdistan, and Trump selling them out enraged me.

Me too. And I fear that NATO/EU will be forced to sell them out again now.
