1. Another greedy little shit trying to strong-arm the group in a time of need

Depressing

[Goodheart]

2. So, kick them out.

Who's more important? Finland+Sweden or Croatia?

[ripcord]

3. On what grounds would you kick them out, they don't agree with you?

Are they going to kick out France and Germany for opposing Ukraine's membership? Are they going to kick out the countries in breach of the UN treaty for not meeting defense spending requirements?

4. I support Sweden and Finland into NATO.

[ripcord]

5. That is nice, on what grounds would you kick out Croatia? Nt

[Goodheart]

6. On the grounds I've already said.

Sweden + Finland is more important than Croatia, whose opposition to their membership endangers the other present members.

7. Honestly, Finland and Sweden are in the EU which has a similar mutual defense treaty as NATO

Admitting these countries is largely more symbolic than necessary.

12. Without the US, UK and Turkey the EU isn't capable of defending itself.

They are a loose confederation of diverse countries and not unified nation state.

[ColinC]

13. Yeah NATO is by far a better option, but I can't imagine a war with the EU wouldn't quickly

bring the US in.

[comradebillyboy]

14. True enough. Maintaining stability in Europe has

been a key US foreign policy goal post ww2.

[ColinC]

15. Indeed.

[Marcuse]

8. The Presidency is ceremonial. The Prime Minister and Foreign Minister are welcoming.

Commenting on statements by President Zoran Milanovic that Croatia should block the two countries’ accession until such time that the election law in Bosnia is amended, Grlic-Radman said that was “blackmail” and “un-European.”

9. PM has the power and is in favor

so no Croatia isn't blocking anything, their President is just posturing.

11. Putin puppets

Do it again.
