(RFE/RL) — It is almost a certainty now that Finland and Sweden will join NATO, making it the biggest political and military redrawing of the European map since the countries of Central and Eastern Europe joined the military alliance, as well as the European Union, in different waves in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The big questions right now are no longer if, but rather when Finland and Sweden will join NATO, if they will do so together, and — perhaps most crucially — if they will get certain security guarantees in the (likely) period of months between their applications and actually being approved as full members of the alliance.
