What happened with Turkey's opposition to this?

> Stockholm introduced a new anti-terrorism bill that makes being a member of a terrorist organisation illegal. Sweden, Finland, Canada and the Netherlands also took steps to relax policies on arms exports to Turkey. [...] Erdogan, who had sent Sweden's bid to parliament in October, linked the ratification to U.S. approval of sales of F-16 fighter jets to Turkey. https://www.reuters.com/world/turkey-set-approve-swede…

This law was a response to the terror attacks of 2017, and was mostly already done when Putin invaded. As a political thing, Sweden and Turkey informally agreed to pretend this was a concession so that Erdogan could look good for his election.

The problem was then that this lie was just a bit too credible, so people started to believe in it.

I have residence in Odesa, Ukraine. As do most of my friends. I have spent countless nights sheltering from missiles and drones launched by the terrorist state of russia.

Miss me with this bullshit.

This is great news and NATO benefits hugely from this. I have to hand it to putin for bringing further solidarity across Europe and NATO.

How does NATO benefit?

Sweden is a country that makes their own military related stuff: https://youtu.be/d8x8ITwd4Vg?si=ye6-_fe7EJMuqdIg Archer can deploy fire and retreat so quickly, can also fire multiple rounds and have them land on the same target at the same time.

As opposed to countries that do not design and manufacture such things themselves.

Firstly, he has said so many times. Secondly, he's a lying sack of shit. Third. Don't be a useful idiot.

I don't see anyone calling you a NAFO shill, why do you feel entitled to calling others useful idiots?

Because repeating Russian lies automatically makes you a useful idiot.

It comes with the territory.

And delicious meatballs for the troops

It isn't hard to make better meatballs than what Ikea sells. For that matter if you think Ikea furniture is good you have no idea what good really is.

Good for the price Mr. Disingenuous

He's almost as good as the guy that killed Hitler. Really doing the world a favor.

Isn't, at least officially, Hitler the guy that killed Hitler? Or that was the joke and it flew over my head?

I don't mean to kill the joke but I think Hitler was already dead before Hitler killed Hitler, so I think his enemies (Allied Forces plus Russians) deserve most of the credit.

I don't mean to kill the joke further but I think Hitler was already a dead man walking before Hitler killed Hitler, so I think his enemies (Allied Forces plus Russians) deserve most of the credit.
