“Turkey is a democracy..They just had presidential elections, strong rhetoric, including anti-US rhetoric, has been a feature of Turkish elections for as long as I remember..we shouldn't overweight that particular comment”
“…The picture is more complicated than this idea that Turkey has moved into some other column [away from the West]...Turkey is charting an independent foreign policy but one in which we can have a constructive relationship with them even in defence...”

The US is trying to blackmail Erdogan by forcing him to accept Sweden's NATO membership using the most mundane reasons
Corruption investigation implicates Erdogan and his son, going to complicate Sweden's NATO bid unless this forces Erdogan to concede.
Pretty much a nonstarter.

- The subject matter is uninteresting AF. (alcoholmeter locks on ignitions in TR? srsly?)
- The way they conducted the deal is suspiciously similar to how you set up honeypots...
Timing isnt a suspect?Timing isn't suspect. Erdogan is corrupt, and as usual his corruption affects the country. In geopolitics, this will always give others an advantage. However, Swedish government does not get to decide on this case as there is a separation of powers, despite knowing it will destroy their chances of NATO. I am certain that even if Turkey greenlight's their accession, this case would continue. Like how decades ago Saudis were bribed by arms companies, Erdogan is the same today.
It is not a serious case in that it will result in prosecution of Erdogan or his son, but it will again damage reputation of the country.

Swedes will do what ever the americans tell them to do, end of story. Just some example, Assange trapped by a typical honeypot and hidden CIA prisons with extraction of prisoners to be tortured and killed in egypt. That and 1000 more examples exists if you want to hear from a swede.
You use small guns from multiple angles to pressure before you go nuclear.If the Americans wanted to pressure Turkey, there are far better ways to intimidate Erdogan then asking Sweden to do this.
