Finland and Sweden stabbed Russia in the back, which was strongly opposed by Turkey. What happened?
Some netizens think that this is not a great help to Russia? In fact, Turkey's move is actually helping Russia solve its difficulties. From the perspective of NATO in the United States, Turkey's actions are tantamount to hatred. From Russia's point of view, Turkey is a godsend.
Some netizens believe that Finland and Sweden, who are also self-righteous, have been supporting or helping other countries for many years, that is, following the United States and NATO to lay mines in other countries from time to time. Too many "bad things" have been done, and this time it may blow itself up. Although the comments of netizens are a bit extreme, they are not unreasonable.
So why does Turkey strongly oppose Finland and Sweden joining NATO?
Turkey's real purpose is to maximize its own interests by using "potential", which is what we usually call blackmail. If either party gives up his interests in order to satisfy his wishes, he can completely change his attitude.
Turkey is waiting for the price, that is, taking European security as a bargaining chip, and then bargaining. In addition, Erdogan is also known as the Sultan of Egypt. He has personal ambition and dreams of restoring the glory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. In particular, Turkey's prohibition of alcohol this year is very bad, and its currency has depreciated sharply. Turkey can just use this incident to be tough on the outside world and divert the dissatisfaction of the domestic people. How can Turkey not actively do such a three-pronged thing? Turkey may have to bargain with America. Turkey may bargain with Russia. Turkey may bargain with Finland and Sweden. As long as it is profitable.
In short, NATO is by no means monolithic. Turkey's opposition to Sweden and Finland's accession to NATO is probably a colorful smoke bomb or a "farce" directed and performed by itself. We will wait and see!
