Despite applying for membership back in May and seemingly improving relations with Turkey, Sweden still hasn’t joined NATO. So what’s actually happening here? Why is Erdogan still blocking their accession? And how might this deadlock finally be broken?

    60yrs we have been played with both western sides, Nato=US and EU little gay boy. Sweets hosting all kinds of terroist not because they are Bastian of Free Speech, these terroist run away there for a reason! they get trained there, deployed from there, same for other EU countries, this is just a cheep way to control land ,people, resources! Harboring terrorist knowingly or not eventfully will bite you too.

    Even though i dont really like Erdogan this video was pretty one sided and deosn't explain everything on Sweden's application just the on their favor. For example Sweden supports and doesn't consider them as terrorist even though they had various attacks to Turkey. "Attacking Northern Syria" part alone explains you are not being objective

    I wonder if the Swedish state, which is just a spectator to all these events, really wants to join NATO? Or does he really want to abide by the agreement he made with Türkiye? Or does he get the support of the USA behind the scenes and ignore Turkey's veto? Turkey's veto is very important because the Turkish army is NATO's second largest and strongest army. I guess Sweden doesn't know who to convince. At the same time, do not forget that Finland, which is a NATO applicant, is accepted by Türkiye.

    There is mistake there USA promise to give F16 but theye did not even though we paid for that. At the end. We can buy it from some where. If they do not sell us. Because we know theyal are selling F16 everywhere. Evenif our neighbours like Greece.

    You don't even know how to write Kurdish, for once, secondly, those Kurds you mentioned happen to be child abductees, who use those very children as soldiers, those Kurds you talk about, they happen to attack Turkish soil over Syria via rockets, killing innocent people, amongst them, babies, children, women and men.

    What is this biased crap you uploaded here? Gosh, to then know that people will watch this random video on YouTube and take this as correct, not even researching on their own and even worse, not even forking their own opinion.
    Turkiye wants the West to stop supporting PKK/YPG, which is as an internationally accepted terror organization.

    This video is not telling the whole truth. Altho at first it comes across as an intelligent reliable source of facts, it is not. If youre going to do a youtube channel about world news, at least be honest and dont lie about such important subjects (giving incomplete information to narrate the story that fits your agenda is also lying). Very disappointing

    sweden turned from a country that houses refugees and was praised worldwide to a country that encourages hate speech radicals.

    February 16, 2024 at 8:34 am

    they can't ban Quran burning because "it undermine the principale of freedom of speech" but banning Russia media outlet from broadcasting in Sweden doesn't undermine it 🤣🤣🤣

    It's so repugnant to see Turkey trying to find personal gain in the admission of a member to NATO. IT's supposed to be about joining together against a common foe. Friendship between nations. And then there's Turkey looking for a bribe. Despicable.

    Norway,Sweden, Findland 🎉 and some more countries within nato should form a smaller group call sub-nato, to accept new members to join their defense organization without turkey approval. Turkey is very selfish and stupid

    Quran burning is allowed in most of europe. But still Erdogan wants Sweden to make it illegal? What a joke of an state leader

    February 16, 2024 at 8:34 am

    7:09 US didn’t sell Patriots. Erdogan doesn’t make diplomacy very well, but Turkey needs defence tools. Because Turkey and Syria are neighbors. Syrian Democratic Forces are attacking Turkish civilians with PKK.

  41. @PaulyDownUnder

    February 16, 2024 at 8:34 am

    Erdogan is a selfish individual putting wants in front of needs, this should not be allowed. Any reasonable person can understand Sweden joining NATO adds strength the organisation. Using a Journalist and burning the Quran to ban Sweden is beyond pathetic and makes him sounds like a crazy man the likes of Putin, throwing a tantrum because he cant have what he wants.

    Erdogan has no power anywhere
