Turkey is the only country left that doesn't rectify this vote.

It has nothing to do with Erdogan being a dictator lol. If you put it to a popular referendum in turkey it's doubtful people would vote to expand NATO.

Turkey is trying to wring concessions out of NATO. Some are symbolic like Finland designating some groups as terrorists, some are material like getting the US to sell them F-16s.

The article is about NATO membership for Finland and Sweden. Hungary is finally voting to allow membership. What Turkey doin?

Turkey will come along. Let the diplomats do their job and it will happen. Nobody is going to attack either country at this point so we don’t need to overly worry.

Maybe throw them an Istanbul Olympics 20XX to sweeten the pot, I'm sure the IOC would oblige with the right figure.

The IOC will always oblige for the right figure.
