Losing some amount of autonomy to the U.S. is far preferable to what we are seeing in Ukraine, or even Belarus.

Edit: That being said, Sweden and Finland were already quite integrated as NATO partners. It's unclear to me, a layman, how much is really changing vs. just being formally declared.

Not just to the US, but to Turkey. From day one, they demanded we abandon the Kurds abroad, brand them all terrorists and hand over political refugees to them and, starting today, sell them weapons. We had a ban on weapons export to Turkey but now half of our biggest parties refuse to comment on whether that will be upheld.

Isn't Turkey vetoing Sweden and Finland entry into nato?

They're threatening to unless we concede to all of their demands (which keep multiplying.) Sorry for the confusion, I should have been clearer.
