I see Turkey will veto Sweden and Finland joining NATO. Par for the course for Erdogan.
Nothing to stop the rest of us signing a multi lateral mutual defence pact. A bit messy, but doable.
I would prefer we vetoed Turkey and invited Finland and Sweden in.

Turkey turned a blind eye to ISIS fighters going in and out of Syria via its territory, despite receiving billions in EU Pre-Accession Funding and being a NATO member.I would prefer we vetoed Turkey and invited Finland and Sweden in.

They're struggling badly in one country, so taking on a second country would likely be a disaster, and Finland have the hindsight of 3 months in which they have had time to bolster their own weaponry, and also learn from what Ukraine has done so far to stop them.If Putin wants to waste resources posturing on the Finish border, let him fill his boots. No one is frightened.

They're struggling to resource troops for Ukraine, he will be stretched too thinly if he wants to pick another fight elsewhere, and the country will be outraged at the number of Russian corpses if he did.They're struggling badly in one country, so taking on a second country would likely be a disaster, and Finland have the hindsight of 3 months in which they have had time to bolster their own weaponry, and also learn from what Ukraine has done so far to stop them.
Threatens with Nuc weapons if a country doesn't do as he wishes, but has been found out, so I hope Finland and Sweden are welcomed soon into NATO

Very interesting that this guy was allowed to make this comment in the first place and that there clearly are some rational minds about in Russia still. The other panelist’s clearly struggled to combat it at all.

The Russians cant ford one river, Finland has nearly 200,000 lakes, they've no chance.They're struggling badly in one country, so taking on a second country would likely be a disaster, and Finland have the hindsight of 3 months in which they have had time to bolster their own weaponry, and also learn from what Ukraine has done so far to stop them.
