Sweden became NATO’s newest member on Thursday (7 March 2024), upon depositing its instrument of accession to the North Atlantic Treaty with the Government of the United States in Washington DC. With Sweden’s accession, NATO now counts 32 countries among its members.
Its so funny to me that it takes Sweden like a week to become an official NATO member but Ukraine is still getting lead on.
Countries in active conflicts cannot join NATO
They are member in all but a name for 30 years.
