They sound like fucking idiots.
They weren’t supporting Sweden getting into NATO from the start nothing changed lol >

And if they were interested in supporting that, giving Sweden a bunch of demands that would inevitably worsen public opinion of Turkey was a pretty stupid way to go about it. >

It's all just posturing for the elections. Sweden got played, Erdogan got exactly what he wanted. The Swedish government just turned the Turkish election in Erdogan’s favour. He was trailing behind, but this could give him the necessary boost. >

The problem with the Turkish election is that every one with Turkish background can vote. So he gets a lot of votes from the millions of Turks outside of turkey. They almost all vote for him when they have no clue what is going on in Turkey >

There are about 15 million Turks living in Europe, the vast majority are very pro erdogan and they are not shy about it starting riots on his behalf. They know it, Erdogan knows it, European leaders know it.
