resolves no

Are there not enough days for left in October for this to happen?

@BTE For Finalnd it took 13 days from Erdogan's approval to passing in Turkish parliament, though no reason it can' be faster.

@JCE can't*

@JCE And Finland*

The only US F-16 contact Turkey is going to get anytime soon (tongue in cheek, not investment advice)

Why did this jump up today? The only news I see is negative news

Interestingly Polymarket also had a spike and I don't know why.

@jack i was also confused, I think it's because Menendez is likely to leave the Senate on corruption charges and he was a key opposer of selling Turkey F-16s? That's the best I could come up with

@such Actually there was another piece of positive news and I bid this market up before anyone on polymarket did. It's not super easily indexable on search engines. Anyway, I think 40-45% is about right.

@SemioticRivalry you're thinking about the below?

"Cardin, who attended a gathering of NATO ambassadors this week, said Turkey has indicated it would clear the way for Sweden’s membership in the first part of October."

@HenriThunberg yes, that's it
