Putin Needs Erdan More Than He Needs to Stop and Sweden From Stopping Nato

Turkey was a card that putin could have played, but i think the calculation on the russian side was that the putin edan relationship is a rather fragile one. The only thing he can do is threaten erdan in the same way that he's threatened and attempted to bully the poles and the bulgarians by cutting off their gas. I think he's decided that he doesn't want to play that kind of hard ball with erdan. He needs erdan, so therefore, he has no choice. And it's a very significant concession. It's a real sign of weakness on puten's part"
