Likely. But if Sweden and Finland want into NATO and Turkey holds the cards, then the former two had better consider the latter's definition.

Here's Turkey's POV

Several nations are providing crucial Intel to the Ukranian military, including Israel.

If it was me I'd accidently put in the charge first, and kill us all. So, we're all safer.

Here's a Canadian doing it a little less well. Chap was going to lose a limb.

You'll be back, if they let you. I give it 24 hours or less before your next post.

I sense the compulsion is strong with you.

Some sources claim Ukrainians have retaken almost all Sievierodonetsk, while others claim the opposite.

Apparently both claims are true.
It seems that Severodonetsk is a fluid battle space, and lines change quickly.

Even in his rush, he moved well away from the breech block before calling clear (I couldn't make out what he was saying, because this cellohone sucks).

I wasn't commenting about your phone.

Many Westerners have been shocked by the war in Ukraine. There is one thing they need to know

The newly developed Senator is designed for law-enforcement and border-patrol use, raising questions about how helpful the vehicles will be for Ukrainian forces

The light armoured vehicle (LAV) III is a well-protected, all weather vehicle that can be used at night and during the day, through battlefield smoke, and on most types of terrain.
