Its an unconditional allegiance to the nato countries right?
So you start war with one, then the other nato countries will join.
Thats how I understood, but correct if Im wrong.

Thats not what allegiance means, but the basic idea of an attack on one being an attack on all is correct

Now will Russia actually take action against them? Once they join, any attack will trigger Article 5 and draw every NATO member into war, at which point Russia is fucked.

Theyre already EU members, and the EU has a collective security arrangement as well. The only non-EU NATO members that arent covered by that would be the UK, US, Canada, and Norway, but Id bet anything that their protections would be guaranteed as well regardless for accelerated applicant states.

Its just a lot of hot air by Russia.

Georgia and Moldova are really the only countries that dont have guarantees left at this point.

It reminds me of that Star Trek Enterprise episode where Romulans try to turn the other races against each other by False Flag attacking their boarders while flying their colors.

And the result is all the other races make a unified fleet to patrol the boarders and end up creating the blueprint of the Federation.

Then Romulus fucking explodes for some reason

Thats certainly a hot take.

Its a defensive alliance intended to prevent any of its members from being attacked.

With that objective in mind, care to point out all the times a NATO country was attacked, and the alliance did nothing?

That's the threat now. As a bargaining chip, to force Sweden to yield on some kurdish issues. SPO (kinda like uh.. Swedish Secret Service?) are already considering Kurds as a security risk, and who knows what the govt will do to please Erdogan now that they need his approval.

I have no idea which agency of which country to compare them to. They're called "the Security Police", SPO in short. I suppose it's "Swedish Security Service": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Security_Service

For Finland and Sweden to join Nato, all 30 existing members must say yes. But for now, one is saying no.
President Erdogan says he wont agree to admit countries which apply sanctions on Turkey.
Sweden suspended arms sales to Turkey three years ago, following Ankaras military intervention in Syria. And according to the official Turkish news agency, both Finland and Sweden have rejected dozens of requests to extradite Kurdish militants who Turkey describes as terrorists.
Both countries are sending delegations to Ankara to try and solve the problem, but President Erdogan says they shouldnt bother.
He seems determined to extract a price for his precious vote. On Sunday, the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said he was confident that Finland and Sweden would both join, despite Turkish objections.
The issue is likely to dominate discussions between Mr Blinken and his Turkish opposite number in Washington on Wednesday.
Having encouraged the two Nordic countries to apply, Washington wont want to let them down at the 11th hour.

Is there a single fucking person that actually likes Erdogan

It should be noted that Turkey routinely labels Kurds as "PKK terrorists" to get rid of dissidents. So yeah, Erdogan wants the Swedish Kurds to be extradited and the weapons embargo lifted, and here we are crawling up his ass because apparently if you don't join NATO you're pro Putin
