    (Defacto) Dictatorships don’t belong in the EU.

    We have our hands full with Hungary, thanks.

    I don’t trust Erdogan one iota, but as a Greek, I’m glad to see the EU reappearing in Turkish public discourse.

    Bargaining like a carpet seller. Really up to EU standards. We had it for 40 years with the UK, not going to try again with Turkey

    Can we maybe end this farce by having the US sign a treaty with Sweden and telling Erdogan to go pound sand?

    Because if we’re gonna be real here for a moment, everyone besides the US is hardly relevant. They’re in the EU already, so who cares?

    Here’s the problem, Russia is facing a very real possibility of falling apart. Turkey is in NATO for its strategic position with Russia.

    Ergo no Russia threat no real need for Turkey to be a member state in anything.
