@@jerromedrakejr9332 At what point have I said that the referendum is not required? And if you're indirectly referring to me as an advocate for nonsense, I'm afraid that makes your argument ad hominem. In Oct. 2021, 24% of Finnish adults were in agreement with NATO membership. In Oct. 2022, a year later, that increased to 85%. In Jan. 2022 37% of Swedes voted yes towards NATO membership, and in July that same year that number increased to 64%. The trends agree all the same. The Russian "liberation" of Ukraine, not to mention Putin's continued threats towards his other neighbors to the west have definitely contributed to not merely the Finnish or Swedish governments, but the people of both countries agreeing that mutual defense with the other countries of West Europe is the way to go.

@@abhabh6896 Finland was a neutral state before. While they were both definitely aligned with the west, they were not integrated into NATO’s joint Defense structure and did not have much NATO military presence and probably wouldn’t have defended a non-EU NATO state. Essentially, the western alliance of Democratic states has been strengthened, whether as Russia is losing key allies. The CSTO Defense pact has fallen apart, same for the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Eurasian Economic Union. Key allies like Armenia and Kazakhstan have distanced themselves from Russia.
