NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says that Finland and Sweden have officially applied to join the world’s biggest military alliance, a move driven by security concerns over Russia’s war in Ukraine.

“I warmly welcome the requests by Finland and Sweden to join NATO. You are our closest partners,” Stoltenberg told reporters on Wednesday after receiving their application letters from the two Nordic countries’ ambassadors.

“This is a historic moment, which we must seize,” Stoltenberg said at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

Neutral throughout the Cold War, the two countries’ decision to join the alliance is one of the most significant changes in Europe’s security architecture in decades.
The applications must now be weighed by the 30 member countries. That process is expected to take about two weeks, although Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has expressed reservations about Finland and Sweden joining.

If his objections are overcome, and accession talks go as well as expected, the two could become members within a few months. The process usually takes eight to 12 months, but NATO wants to move quickly given the threat from Russia hanging over the Nordic countries’ heads.

You allow your emotions overcome you, this nations will beg Putin back, if I were Russia I would also go look for other nations most especially in Africa to align with build up more from there.
Sweden and Finland just made a great mistake, later they will know that United States and UK are deceiving them.
If not for Russia United Kingdom would have been Annexed by Hitler but today it is the same United Kingdom that is Fighting Russia.
One thing I know for sure is that Russia will laugh last

Sweden and Finland will beg Russia? For what? What is it Russia could possibly do for Sweden or Finland?

Putin's main reason for attacking Ukraine was because of NATO expansion. With Finland Joining NATO, Russias Border with NATO has now doubled

Putin only ended up making things far worse with his useless war with Ukraine

Tension
