Finland and Sweden now in NATO? Yes.
Turkey (Erdogan in particular) basically gave in. There is some type of paperwork that Finland and Sweden signed at a table to make Turkey happy. I think external pressure came up to a level that Erdogan could not say no.
Big deal now? Marginally so.
It puts a weird scenario out there....if anything were to happen with Russian threats. You could see a reaction on a Lithuania front....with not only Poland, the US and the Germans reacting....but Finland and Sweden contributing forces.
Putin now? I think his inner circle are sitting there and grumbling. Something needs to be done to show 'big-boy' status against Lithuania. But they've misjudged the whole landscape, and made things even more screwed-up.
