Turkey Clears Major Roadblock For Sweden’s NATO Bid: Why Was It Opposed Earlier?

Snehashish RoyJanuary 25, 20240

After Turkey’s parliament endorsed its membership on Tuesday (January 23), Sweden moved closer to joining NATO. All the current members have to agree for a new country to become part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Turkey and Hungary had been blocking Sweden’s entry for nearly two years. Why does Sweden want to join NATO? Sweden has maintained its neutrality for two hundred years, avoiding involvement in the two World Wars and the Cold War. In recent times, it became a member of the European Union and cooperated with NATO, but it did not show any interest in joining the military alliance that is opposed by its powerful neighbour, Russia. However, this neutrality was compromised after Russia invaded Ukraine. As public opinion shifted in favour of joining NAT...

Boris Johnson ‘Trumpeted’ As Next Boss Of NATO

Vikas DeshwalJuly 28, 20220

The United Kingdom's armed prime minister, operating his statement years after senior political party partners caused him to leave, could perform NATO if his remaining followers are to be believed. Boris Johnson, who will depart Downing Street on Sept 6 after the Conservative Party's 170,000 rank-and-file partners have chosen an inheritor, has been dogged by humiliation in recent months and appears an improbable future secretary-general of the Western safety partnership, given that victorious applicants are usually untainted by discussion and advocated unanimously by the institution's 30 member states. The Telegraph newspaper, which operated Johnson as a columnist, said he "is being trumpeted as a contender" to substitute Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, who is assigned to stand dow

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 2, 20220

Sweden and, most importantly, Finland are the only E.U. not to join North Atlantic Treaty Organisation(N.A.T.O), constituting the U.S.A and other European countries. This is subject to change as both the countries come inches close to becoming part of N.A.T.O. after the Madrid summit on 29th June 2022. Finland achieved its independence from Russia in 1917. However, being at the border of a powerful state and losing a war resulted in losing 10% of their land. Finland opted for what war experts called ‘Finladisation’, i.e. opting to be neutral when bordered by a strong neighbour. The attack on Ukraine in Finland has changed its outlook. 62% of Fins have voted for joining N.A.T.O. in 2022, which had been 7% in 2017. Finland is primarily a key to this conflict if its membership in N.

Impact Of Russia-Ukraine War On India’s Long-Term Projects

Pooja YadavFebruary 25, 20220

Russia is one of India’s largest arms suppliers; around 23% of Russian arms exports between 2016 and 2020 were done to this country. Russia has launched a special operation on Ukraine, which resulted in simultaneous attacks coming from the south, east and north, by land and air. Missiles and bombs rained from the sky, tanks rolled across the border, and explosions were seen across the country after Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin gave the order to attack. The attacks quickly drew condemnation from world leaders with President Joe Biden saying that the planet would hold Russia accountable.

Pooja YadavFebruary 25, 20220

Germany is a part of NATO and has disinclined to supply combat troops to defend Ukraine, whereas Russia clearly sees the expansion of NATO into what it considers its strategic space as a line. Moscow is now seen as willing to use a social unit to secure its interests across what it believes should be its unquestioned sphere of influence within the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and beyond but will the western powers defend Ukraine. As per various published reports, when statesmen were discussing the reunification of Germany with Helmut Kohl, it was promised by various leaders including the then US Secretary of State James Baker that NATO wouldn't expand to the East. These promises were primary to President Putin’s speech at the 2017 Security Conference in Munich w...
