Tropic of Cancer... Pity. Whelp. Looks like NATO is limited to inducting the Bahamas... because I doubt Mexico would join up, or be allowed to.

Brazil would have far more utility for NATO for sure, but I just see it as not really happening anytime in the future.

Morocco kinda has ongoing disputes with Algeria and some of its other neighbors doesn't it? If not it certainly does regarding Western Sahara. Also isn't it technically not a Democracy or the like either? And Brazil's Foreign Policy has been based on Independence, Internationalism and...

What a Magical Moment.

I hope Turkey is telling Turkey about this! Just read an article today how Turkey is considering Eurofighters as an alternative to F-16's. https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/31366-turkey-mulls-eurofighter-typhoon-order

My main issue with the Turkey-Swedish Impasse isn't so much that Sweden Is Being Coerced to Stop Supporting the PKK (whatever that means) but more on Free Speech Grounds. It's a tricky situation since instinctively I'm thinking Sweden's private media or whatever should be able to support almost...

Turkey is also making some.more arms deals with it's NATO Partners as well. Half dozen Bayraktar Drones to Lithuania are being discussed. They're also apparently nearly doubling the amount of Boxers IFVs they have, newer variants as well as complimenting their existing force of PxH2000's from...

In certain more advanced cultures this all could be solved by issuing a Batchall and invoking the sacred right to Trial by Combat. If Turkey wishes to dishonor it's prior agreement vowed to Finland, let it do so in a Trial of Refusal or submit to the whims of the NATO Council.

Applications recieved. Swedish Flag looks like a MICROSOFT WINDOWS logo on the application though. COINCIDENCE? Or is Bill Gates involved somehow.

Finnish Parliament Apparently Voted on the NATO measure?

Oh looks like Putin is fine with Sweden and Finland joining NATO. https://www.politico.eu/article/putin-russia-no-problem-finland-sweden-join-nato/ See? No problems. Nothing to worry about.

So Turkey pulls this off fairly frequently as of late but it gets more media traction now thanks to the whole Russo- Ukrainian War though https://natowatch.org/newsbriefs/2020/turkey-drops-objections-nato-defence-plan-poland-and-baltics Apparently last time their demand was the Declaration of...

Looks like they will pay respects to the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Perhaps get some Peat and Reindeer Meat and some Nokia/Ericsson Phones or something as Tribute... I honestly don't know what Sweden and Finland produce.

The F-16 Deal is the reimbursement for the F-35's. The United States is going to get Turkey forty more F-16's (the 'Viper' variant) and eighty modernization kits for the ones they have already in lieu of the aborted F-35 deal.

They are likely angling for a better deal in regards to the F-16's that Turkey is looking to purchase up. I doubt that Erdogan actually has any serious reservations about Finland though they might about Sweden over the alleged support of the PKK, but I don't see anything NATO Membership...
