Sweden in NATO? Maybe not (thehill.com)

There was a post from a mass media site the other day saying Turkey was approving Sweden to join NATO. This turned out to be a bit of wishful thinking.

As a citizen from Turkey, sorry about that. We tried to vote him out, just didn't take.

Thanks <3 Yeah I was following the election, crazy close to getting him out. No idea how people wanted him still in power after the earthquake disasters. Feels like he used the anger towards Sweden (after the danish guy burned the Quran) to gain some votes by refusing us. What a mess it has become.

Did they not know that Quran burning was propaganda? It happened, but it happened specifically to split Sweden from Turkey. I think it was discovered the person was working for Russia.

Why would Turkish media tell them? They are controlled by Erdogan (where public tv reports about the election didn't even mention his opponent by name... he was just "that other guy").
