276:0 in favor, too. Look at the world map to find out why everybody can dance around Sweden's application, but Finland's is no joke.

Doesn't it have to be a unanimous vote?

All NATO countries has to agree yes, but parliaments dont need to be unanimous (as whatever vote wins is their countries only stance), Hungary just ratified as well and they had some votes for no

It wasn't. Turkey's parliament has 600 seats. Erdogan convinced the opposition simply not vote.

Next he has to sign off on the measure. I'm curious how long he's going to sit on it.

NATO agreement has a clause that says “an attack on one is an attack on all”.

So every country needs to be on board, otherwise there might be situations of a country being forced to goto war for a country they do not support. Which might encourage countries to leave the alliance.
