There are literally only two ways in which this can go: Sweden will either stick with its principles and thus never formally join NATO; or its leadership will defy basic democratic principles by going against its people’s will and thus capitulating to all of Turkiye’s anti-terrorist demands. Either way, this dilemma is disadvantageous to the soft power interests of the US-led West’s Golden Billion since it exposes that de facto New Cold War bloc’s double standards on democracy, especially with regards to NATO.

Putin's Empire of Lies.
