Finland and Sweden's joining NATO is getting more and more lively!
Nato Secretary-General Stoltenberg was thrilled by Finland's and Sweden's request to join NATO and praised it as a historic step!
The United States was also cheering, and finally two more cannon fodder came out.
But when NATO and the United States had not yet recovered from the excitement, they hit the NATO country Turkey with a stick.
Turkey, which had previously stated that it had conditionally agreed to the two countries' accession to NATO, cut off a sigh: Sweden and Finland want to enter the treaty, first pass this level and then say.
You officials may think that Turkey is inserting a knife into Russia's two ribs, in fact, where and where, people have a small nine-nine.
We saw that after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan refused finland and Sweden to join NATO, he immediately imposed the conditions for Finland and Sweden to enter the treaty.
Yes, Turkey and Finland and Sweden have a long-standing grudge, and in the 2019 Syrian war, Finland and Sweden simultaneously made the decision to ban the export of weapons to Turkey, and secretly funded Turkey's Kurdish forces, this time it was finally turkey's turn to card their necks.
We see the conditions that Turkey has put forward to meet:
Sweden and Finland are called upon to publicly condemn the PKK and its branches.
Members of the PKK shall not be granted asylum and members of the PKK shall not be allowed to carry out activities in both countries.
Finland and Sweden must lift the arms embargo and export restrictions on Turkey.
Fourth, the two countries must lift trade restrictions on Turkey.
Fifth, demand that the EU must lift sanctions against Turkey.
If the above conditions do not meet Turkey's requirements, Turkey will implement a one-vote veto for the two countries to join NATO.
Finland and Sweden are optimistic, I joined NATO, people Russia have said not to interfere, you Turkey is a good lion waiting for me here!
To say that NATO originally let Turkey join was hungry, want to let Turkey, an important force, come in, in order to increase NATO's strength in the Middle East, but never thought that today's Turkey has not only become the of the entire NATO, beat a NATO to stir up a chicken and dog, but also become a nail in the eyes of the United States.
Nowadays, the United States and NATO carefully planned to use Finland and Sweden to join NATO to balance Russia This deck of cards has not yet been able to play, it has been directly lifted by Turkey and put forward 6 conditions, want to join NATO, first agree to my conditions.
Sweden and Finland joined NATO and their domestic opposition forces rose one after another, and now they have to endure the humiliation of Turkey's crotch, so that the small flames that have just burned in these two countries have suddenly faded.
Although the extortion of bamboo is Turkey's strong point, it is a big mistake to say that Turkey will only pluck the feathers and make a little profit and make a little profit.
In fact, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has his own ambitions to revitalize the Ottoman Empire. To know that the Ottoman Empire was a hegemonic country that once swept through Europe and Asia, before the First World War, the United States, France, Germany, and Britain were all younger brothers, and their sphere of influence was even more staggering, like the former Soviet Union.
However, with the defeat of the First World War, the Ottoman Empire began to split into what is now Turkey, just like Russia after the breakup of the Former Soviet Union.
Now, at the time of turmoil, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the increasingly twilight of the United States, Turkey has seen the opportunity for the ottoman Empire to be revived.
Turkey is the only country in the world that dares to navigate between the United States and Russia, while provoking both the United States and Russia and maintaining friendship with both the United States and Russia at the same time.
A war in Syria has allowed the outside world to witness the extraordinary means of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
How many countries in the world dare to blatantly shoot down Russian warplanes? Turkey is one of them! And after shooting down the Russian warplane, the Russian president did not lose his temper, and the two sides finally shook hands and made peace.
Turkey is even more insistent on buying Russian air defense systems and the entire NATO, and does not hesitate to turn against the United States, and it is even more bitter about the pro-American armed Kurdish armed forces supported by the United States in Syria.
In order to win over this important power in the Middle East, the United States and Russia have to swallow their anger and even curry favor with Turkey, which makes Turkey more and more left and right.
Because the United States and Russia have no way to take Turkey, both countries are facing huge pressure in the Middle East, and Turkey is definitely a force that can influence the situation in the Middle East.
In this Ukrainian war, we have seen that Turkey is very active, resolutely does not choose sides between the United States and Russia, and has withstood the huge pressure of the United States and NATO to resolutely not sanction Russia, showing the responsibility of a regional power.
In this big drama of the United States instigating Finland and Sweden to join NATO, turkey took the lead in standing up against the two countries joining, and even stirred up another big drama in which the United States dragged Russia to death.
Turkey's horizontal slash at a critical moment is precisely to show the whole world that Turkey has the ability to say one word and swear its great power existence.
However, despite its ambitions, Turkey does not yet have the strength to compete with the United States and Russia and other major powers at the same time, and now, Turkey is playing a balance between the three major powers of China, the United States and Russia at the same time, which is tantamount to taking chestnuts from the fire, and if you are not careful, you are likely to fall into a burning end!
