The issue with giving veto rights to pathetic arseholes

As soon as he sees an opportunity to get a bit of leverage, he shamelessly takes it. If Finland and Sweden agree to these requests, they are de facto consolidating an authoritarian regime and giving him a blank check to keep wiping out opposition.

He seeks to seize power over NATO, by delivering attack drones to Ukraine, whilst thwarting Sweden and Finland's entry into NATO into a false sense of security into the upcoming labour union negotiations for non-military NATO personnel, whilst the yen just keeps on oscillating erratically into the strange attractor that's inside erdogan's private little supercomputer. Think Lt. Gruber's little tank.

Yeah i saw that, it is so funny. Erdogan has to be one of the best statesmen alive today, he does this with everything btw, he avoids all entanglements and uses every situation to get the best outcome for his country, that is worthy of respect.

The same kind of respect that especially skilled gangsters are worthy of.

Pro Russian forces of NATA

Isn't Erdogan mad at everything? As an attempt to distract attention from the problems Turkey have?

Besides Erdogan, there is Orban, who is completely controlled by Russia, and he also carries out the Kremlin's whims.

I agree this tactic, of using veto when 2 countries need protection is a form of blackmail.
Don't know of PKK though, in some reports they organised a few bomb attacks as far as I remember.

It's not about the PKK, it's about Kurdish groups. Not every Kurd is a member of PKK. Turkey has banned Kurdish language and committed atrocities against them.

Until they need something and then the US gives them the middle finger like getting kicked out of the F35 program
