    I don’t understand the pressure to let Sweden in.

    • There is no doubt PKK is a terrorist organisation.
    • There is no doubt that Sweden has been funding them for years.

    I don’t see why a nation would willingly go into a defense pact with another nation that actively funds a terrorist organisation.

    Especially when in case of a war, until the US decides to go all in and end it, Europe’s defense is up to Turkey and the UK. Why would they be willing to die for the Swedes?

      Sweden classified PKK as a terrorist organization in 1984. Sweden does not finance PKK.
