This makes the formal application next week a foregone conclusion. But, it already was.

Perhaps more interesting is that it makes the swedish application almost inevitable as well, and it might happen at the same time.



Why is Sweden always supposed to be "more interesting" than Finland?

I mean, I'm a Swede and all (I only live in Finland), but this seems a bit unfair.


I guess it can be argued that Finland joining Nato is not very surprising (has been discussed in Finland for years) and therefore not very interesting. But Sweden joining Nato this quickly would be more of a surprise and therefore much more interesting.


Because its less of a foregone conclusion than Finland is. Nothing else (I’d say Finland is now at 100% certainty to join and Sweden at 99%)
