Curious how strongly they will object and how much the rest of the alliance will pressure them to back down on this.

My personal opinion is that they are using this as a bargaining chip to use on some or various other issues. I’m the end the Turks will extract something or improve their negotiating position on some issues, and they will sign off on the expansion of NATO to include these two Nordic nations.
