    Good job, Putin.

    Couldn’t have done it without you proving to every reasonable person that you want the Russian Empire’s borders back.

    this will take some time. Also, I thought Hungary had to approve in Parliament as well, no?

      Yeah, that is the last I heard too. Hungary is still open. Maybe just a matter of time but they keep stalling.

    Why do I have this feeling that something really bad is going to happen every time I hear ‘The time has come’?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    STOCKHOLM — In one of the most consequential strategic realignments since Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine, Sweden appears poised to join Finland inside NATO as soon as next month, linking arms with its neighbors in an increasingly joined-up defense of Europe’s northeast.

    Stoltenberg said his talks with Erdoğan this month had been constructive, and on Monday, the Turkish leader said he had signed and passed documents to the parliament in Ankara so it can vote on Sweden’s eventual accession.

    Standing alongside Stoltenberg in Stockholm, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said his country had watched the Finnish accession process closely “to learn lessons for our own integration.” Finland joined NATO in April.

    The annexation of Crimea by Russia earlier that year had sent a chill through the Baltic Sea region but the two Nordic states appeared intent on not joining the alliance.

    Still, Stoltenberg helped push integration between Finnish, Swedish and NATO forces through detailed agreements such as the Enhanced Opportunity Partnership and Host Nation Support.

    But in May 2022, the Social Democrats pivoted and Stoltenberg — and Swedish officials — began months of shuttle diplomacy, regularly taking in Washington and increasingly Ankara as Erdoğan’s resistance emerged.
