I am Finnish and neither is there any decisive public information in here either.
You should trust SWE and FI journalism on this matter first and foremost before external sources.
Of course there are discussions that are not public. But it would be quite the outrage if the official information was made public in a non SWE or FI source.
Generally Nordic societies are fairly egalitarian. NATO membership would be a major shift and it would be discussed in public as soon as the definitive decision was done. Of course this is they way the wind is blowing but it's not official until SWE and FI state officials say it's so.
- jltsiren 5y agoThe way I see it, the public discussion has been going on in Finland since February 24. The effective decision to join was probably made last month, and it will be made formal when the time is right. There is currently more uncertainty about whether NATO would accept Finland than whether Finland would want to join it. To avoid provoking Russia unnecessarily, Finland won't make the formal decision to apply until it's clear that NATO will accept it.
