It looks like Finland will become a NATO member in a few weeks.

It is already fairly obvious that if Finland joins, sweden will follow quickly. There is already a majority in the parliament that wants to join if finland does. The opposition parties have already expressed that they will join if they win the elections in september and the ruling social democrats do not want to make this an election issue. Odds are that sweden will apply to join in mid-late may, in time for the NATO summit in july.

There's no more perfect time that now. Sweden and Finland are both very militarily capable.

Russian propagandist Vladimir Solvyov has made it very clear that they want to take everything that is non NATO

If it is up to me ,I would suggest that Turkey block Sweden from entering NATO. Maybe even Finland but Sweden is a must

Yeah, and Russia never misses a beat, we had an incursion by two SU-24s and two Su-27s out of Kaliningrad close to Gotland as the Swedish and Finnish DMs met there. There is speculation that the SU-24s were nuclear armed as well, but no one is confirming or denying that, so might just as well be trolls.

Basically, if we join NATO the whole south baltic is secure and we can park a bunch of Patriots on on Gotland and shoot down anything that comes out of Kaliningrad. And use the airbase for F-35s and JAS.

Why should Turkey reject Sweden's membership

IMO, this will make the strategic importance of Turkey to both Russia and the West even more crucial and the Kremlin will do all what it takes to preserve relations with Turkey albeit they would be effectively surrounded on most fronts
