Yeah as a Swede I am somewhat sceptical to NATO as well. I am particularly sceptical of Turkey being a member (because of how undemocratic that country has become). I would probably have preferred a deeper military collaboration between Finland and Sweden (and the rest of the nordic countries) but since that to some degree already is the case today I can see why people would argue that isn't enough.

With that said I do understand NATO as a stability-bringing and mostly peace creating org so I am not 100% against joining. As long as we are not brought into any pro-active wars and NATO keeps being the effective "keep Russia from militaily f---ing with you"-prevention it currently is I would be OK with being a member.



I pretty much feel exactly the same as you about NATO membership.
