I AM A FREE MAN
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s resistance to Sweden’s NATO accession reflected his more nuanced stance towards Moscow.
Ankara has profited from maintaining – and even expanding – trade with Russia while at the same time supplying Ukraine with drones and other essential arms.
Erdogan has also been one of the few NATO leaders to hold regular meetings and phone conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Turkish media reported that Putin could make his first wartime visit to Turkey next month.
Erdogan could veto it, given the close relationship with Moscow. Sweden's Koran-burning activists have made Ankara uncomfortable, too.

The rules state that a country can join Nato only if not actively engaged in a war with Russia.
But there are exceptions to the rules for the Ukraine in that Nato doesn't need to grant full status which includes the protection of article 5.
The point is, Nato could grant the Ukraine the protection of article 5 with the stroke of a pen!
The consequences of that pen stroke are just too unspeakable to mention.
Will the Ukraine ever become a full fledged member of Nato?
Would that depend on Russia no longer existing as a superpower country?
It may well be that the Sweds and Finns will regret abandoning their decades-long neutral status.
Will Turkey also be picking up the tab for the cost of having Sweden as a NATO member?
Putin refuses to take the bait and expand the war to WWIII
