And there you go.  Turkey wants the extradition of 30 "terrorists" from Finland and Sweden in exchange for NATO membership approval.  Of course, Turkey is also smarting from Sweden's arms sanctions...

This is IMHO a very big ouch. Finland and Sweden aren't going to do it unless there is real evidence, which Turkey usually doesn't have. Not sure how NATO can get around this one. Hopefully there is a way, like agreeing to "bi-lateral talks" to resolve the extradition issues. At this point, I wouldn't assume this problem can be solved.
