This is the current state of play regarding the Turkish opposition to Finland and Sweden. https://www.yahoo.com/news/nato-chief-st...51271.html. I think it is very good that the head of NATO is taking this seriously, as that is the only way we stand any chance of making this happen. At best, it will take a while. Hopefully Sweden and Finland can offer some concessions to Turkey that are not too unpalatable to their governments at public and yet are enough for Turkey to claim a victory.
Another minor storm brewing for NATO. Countries on the Eastern flank met to strategize on how to get increased troop basing in their countries. This is going to be an ongoing issue that also can't just be blown off. These countries need to become aware of what NATO's strategy is and how they fit into it. This may require some "adjustments", but it is important NATO strategy not be governed by peoples anxieties. Been there did that, and fortunately we never had to find out what would have happened.
