    "... convincincing Finland (and Sweden) to join NATO ...."

    Finland and Sweden needed no convincing as far as joining the NATO goes.
    Sweden and Finland were already de-facto NATO states. Armed to NATO standards. Hosting NATO military exercises.

    Becoming a part of NATO officially is just a formality, and has no strategic significance.
