4. No doubt that Erdogan's beef is with Sweden

rather than with the remainder of NATO or Ukraine. However, Erdogan has also tried to remain in a friendly position with Putin.

The polls are showing that Erdogan is doing poorly and may lose in the election later this year. Whether those polls can be relied upon is another question and there is some discussion that Erdogan would relent to Sweden's bid to join NATO if he is reelected since he would have the political capital to expend.

Sorry about the thread title, but I try to keep it close to what is on YouTube to help prevent duplicate posts in this forum (whether anyone else looks is another matter). There is room for editorializing throughout the remainder of the thread.
