Finland and Sweden are seemingly fast-tracking potential membership into NATO. I don't like that idea at all!
To me it isn't reinforcing NATO's northern flank - instead it would be an unforced error of escalating tensions unnecessarily. Putin claimed Ukraine's potential of joining NATO putting NATO troops on Russia's doorstep as one of his justifications for invasion. Having Finland and Sweden join NATO would allow Putin, with some truth, to tell the Russian people, "See I was right! NATO is trying to surround us!"
Don't like this idea at all.
