As the war in Ukraine grinds on, Europe and the West are looking with a wary eye toward Russia and its long-term goals. In this episode of the Essential Geopolitics podcast from RANE, we discuss how Finland and Sweden have officially applied to join NATO. But that would require approval from all 30 member countries, and there's one holdout. Emily Hawthorne, senior Middle East and North Africa analyst with RANE, discusses Turkey's reasoning, and how long NATO will toe the line.
