Finland, Sweden to apply for NATO membership

Finland announces its intention to seek NATO membership, hours before Sweden’s governing party backed a plan to join the trans-Atlantic alliance.
The decision comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Finland that joining NATO would be “a mistake”.
NATO’s foreign ministers are holding a meeting in Germany to discuss moves by Finland and Sweden to join the military alliance.

Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen reports from Berlin.

Finland has all the right to chose who's alliance to be part of. But the truth is we are closer and closer to a nuclear war.

Turkey always practicing two face politics as Batman's eternal enemy

Finland knows Russia as well as anyone. After their long history, this is a reason to pay attention.

Someone seems to be misinformed. ..cough cough Turkey!

Finland and Sweden are neutral for at least the entire summer. The special military operation will be over by then.

[btrueday]

And why didn't NATO accept Ukraine?

[TechAdmin]

Yes but what about hungry? Isn't Hungry a no vote?

[junaidzakaria]

Turkey should appose this because when Turkey applied for EU member ship these countries apposed it As from Turkey we all appose this NATO new members.

[hkzkkpjnhllg]

[bdbangladeshvlogtech]

Yes they have terrorists they burnt Quran and they don't take any actions

[michaelthomas]

Gain Sweden and Finland, lose Turkiye. Sounds like a win.

[fredsimchawang]

Turkey's demands are quiet reasonable all that Finland and Sweden need to do is to trim their support to the PKK and YPG and have members of their Parliaments that are affiliated with these organizations disavow their loyalty to them. National security of these countries of course trumps the need to harbor these organizations thank you very much and have a great afternoon 🤗🤗

[cutypie]

Maybe they want to see if Sarmat is real 🤣

[verbavolantscriptamanent]

Turkey should not accept the application until NATO members lift the military arms sales embargo imposed against Turkey, especially the USA, Germany and Sweden, and cut off arms aid to Kurdish groups in Syria that threaten Turkey's territorial integrity.
