You are missing the point, the Swedish socialists are granting asylum to lots of people without actual democratic mandate to do so (I’m talking quantity here) – as the Swedish people has never been consulted on that matter (as in had a public vote about it) – whether they actually wants that or not.
Personally, I don’t give rats ass if it is dangerous or not for foreigners to return to their homeland or whatever – it is not my problem, it is explicitly theirs. If that happens to be the case – even more reason to play ones cards right, keeping a low profile, striving to adapt, assimilate and be lawful in Sweden - if you hope to stay here.
Say What?!??
Well, he is not in parliament but Mikail Yüksel aims to get there as a propagator for “Islamism" in Sweden. Islam is not a natural part of Sweden, in fact it has zero history here, less then 100 years even. Culturally it is even worse then that; rather it is typically in open conflict with Swedish traditions and customs. Islam only exists there due to the influx of immigrants and fake refugees who brought it with them. Again, this have been allowed to happen without a proper or explicit mandate of the Swedish people (zero votes about it). Anyhow, I digress…
It is mostly due to the fact that election-debates seldom revolves about or are defined by such matters - but by other things much closer to home to the average Swedish voter. The rest, you get as a biproduduct. Most foreign policy-matters are confined to that overall circumstance and that for quite some time - unfortunately…
As already explained above, besides there is little socialdemocrats won’t try to change if they think it serves their party interests. Sweden doesn’t have much of a overall forign state policy doctrine – save it typically prefers to work with its Nordic neighbours, the EU, export stuff and that it likes peace. An example on how the socialists changed Swedish foreign policy was for instance the official recognition of Palestine as a state – that was done for strictly ideological reasons by the socialists and without any proper democratic mandate. They just did it anyways, and they have gotten away with it (so far).
Don’t be ridiculous… Turkey would never been admitted as a member if it had not been a secular state. Islam (regardless the kind) has a piss poor reputation in Europe in general and the vast majority of NATO members are European and secular. The USA and Canada are both are built on European traditions, ideas and secular as well. There is no such explicit rule but thinking that Turkey would ever have a future as an Islamic authoritarian state in NATO (or had ever been admitted as one) – please, get real…
Again, don’t be ridiculous… It has everything to do with working with Denmark, Norway and the Balic states – in short, regional and national security – for both Finland and Sweden. The Turkish armed forces are fairly strong and that is all fine and well - but it is hardly a decisive factor for actual Swedish or Finnish security considerations.
We can’t because of their obligations to NATO - if we too are members as well, then it is a whole other story. And right now, Turkey is the thing blocking/obstructing all such plans, out of all things…
That you are pretty sure, does not cut it. Again, “probably” is not good enough, only “definitely” getting help is good enough. This goes for both Finland and Sweden.
Rather it seems to me that you overestimate the importance of Turkey as a singular member of NATO. In its region I’m sure it has plenty of value but beyond it, I doubt it. Such as places like the Nordic countries and the Baltic region, for instance.
I can totally understand and sympathize with that… And again, this is something created at the hands of the socialdemocrats, for strictly ideological reasons - as Sweden and its people does not have any such agenda. It has existed because the socialist party took it upon themselves to play political activism around the world with little thought on the possible consequences, both for Sweden and otherwise.
Unfortunate… You will be disappointed, it will be. It is only a matter of time. This regardless if you like it or not. Sweden and Finland will do their part, Turkey will do its part, and that’s that.
