So Sweden & Finland want to be in NATO and Turkey was being a stickler about it then changed its tune slightly to simply "make demands". So just who is Turkey that it thinks it can make demands of NATO? Well, I found out tonight watching a CSPAN replay of a congressional hearing on the subject of an aid package for Ukraine, coming from the mouth of one Karen Donfried, Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs (that's all the banner said so that's all I know).

Turkey is concerned over the security of the Black Sea. The bulk of it's own imports come in through that...then I found this article about the rate of inflation in Turkey (70%). So yeah--Turkey has been making pro-Russia noises but the threat of war in the Black Sea gives it the license to make demands.
