SS: Erdogan continues to delay Sweden's admission into NATO over concerns about support for Kurdish nationalist groups within Sweden. This comes at a time of enhanced aggression from adversaries and off thr heels of Finland's accession into the group. While there might not be as pressing a need to get Sweden into NATO with Finland now creatin buffer along the Russian border, Turkish demands still cause irritation among NATO members.
