    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?

        Worth noting I am partly speaking from my own assessment as well. I want us to join NATO but I don’t find it to be an affair that is as urgent anymore and I’d preferably have it done without any greater effects on our justice system or other parts that Erdogan was unhappy about.

        However, it’s worth noting that there are still a reasonable amount of swedes who are completely against NATO.

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