It is important to note that NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is a military alliance between North American and European countries that is dedicated to collective defense and security. If Turkey were to leave NATO, it would certainly have an impact on the organization, but it is unlikely that it would lead to the destruction of NATO or a direct military conflict with Russia.

NATO's relationship with Russia has been complex and often strained in recent years, with tensions increasing over issues such as Ukraine, military exercises, and missile defense. However, NATO's primary focus is on collective defense and deterrence, rather than aggression or conflict. NATO seeks to maintain stability and security in the Euro-Atlantic region through a combination of diplomatic, economic, and military measures.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to join NATO is up to individual countries and their respective governments. While Sweden may be interested in joining NATO due to concerns about Russian aggression, other countries, such as Turkey, may have different perspectives and priorities.

Yes NATO will collapse without Turkey. This is because Turkey will ally with Russia and China. This means major energy routes into Europe will be completely under Russian control. Today Europe cannot standup to Russia in Ukraine. Germany is a major gas buyer, Turkey is a major gas buyer. Eastern Europe could hope to get gas from Middle East if Turkey builds a Qatar/Turkey gas pipeline under NATO protection. Without that option, Europe will become Russia’s bitch. Then NATO’s military power won’t matter because trade and energy routes cannot be opened with that military.

Once Russia has the upperhand in the energy Markets, OPEC will do as Russia says. This is because if Qatar wants to sell gas to Europe Russia must grant permission. Once the table tilts that way, Petro Dollar will cease to exist. US economy will collapse. No more military spending. No more bases around the world. Once the dollar is gone, it is China who will rule economically, and there is no room for NATO in that world.

It's a complicated picture.

Sweden doesn't have much to offer NATO, and it's just posturing to piss off Russia.

But Turkey is as big a player in NATO as the UK. Mainly as like the UK it's the hub of a former empire and thus has the collar of a few countries.

The Ottoman empire not only held what is today the Middle East, but a lot of Africa as well. These are very lucrative routes and Turkey still has important relations with a lot of those countries and their seas.

While Turkey is in NATO it can use those routes.

No. Turkeys contribution to NATO is mostly positional. Namely, their control over the passage between the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea. Giving Russia access to this passage would still lock them at Gibraltar and Suez. That is if Turkey would even let Russia sail a strike fleet next to the Turkish capital. Turkey might like to become better friends with Russia but that does not mean they want their warships to pose a threat to their literal capital.

Also I am Swedish. I am not afraid of Russia invading Sweden. Personally I do not want Sweden joining NATO and I would be ecstatic if Turkey continues to block it.

The Russians finally will be able to take the Bosporus Strait - and ice-free access to the oceans.

NATO will finally not longer have to bear with Erdogan crap.

Win win situation.

Turkey: please piss off :)

Anyhow... NATO has outlived its initial idea; it is kept alive because of good money to make by the lobbyists. The more recent weapons deals with Ukraine show some of that.

No matter which country has the upper hand in the world: in the end the REAL power is with those who have the money... and they had spread their tentacles into each single 'country' meanwhile.

No turkey is a weak country militarily and economically and the turks haven't won a war in 300 years. The Turks know who their masters are.

The only reason Turkey is in NATO is because Greece is part of NATO. In other words if war broke out between Turkey and Greece Then NATO would destroy Turkey.

Turkey was more of a puppet state in the early cold war. Usa put nukes their and ussr retaliated with putting nukes in cuba. Creating the closest we ever got to nuclear-powers end of the world.

Turkey as a government today isn't even a democracy but a dictatorship state leaning Russian kinda defending the purpose of an alliance and actively undermining it. Like with Finland and Ukrainian war with Russia.
