    They said Turkey could be problematic, but I must say I wasn’t expecting a bait and switch in to extortion. Anyone have any links to learn more about NATO-Turkey relationship and Turkey-Sweden relationship? Even anti-Erdogan Turkish people seem to be behind Erdogan’s decision here.

      There is more or less unanimous support for this veto in Turkey, even among rabid anti-Erdoğan folks. Erdoğan himself was reluctant to do it, but yielded to public pressure.

      The Turkish public opinion is that since EU didn’t let Turkey join, Turkey should not let any EU nations join NATO.
