Finland and Sweden will likely join NATO sometime this week or next. Both were present at a closed door meeting of NATO this last week and their membership was very likely the topic of discussion or else they would not have been there.
Finland is absolutely not weak, not cowardly, and not afraid to defend itself. It went it pretty much alone toe to toe with the Soviet Union during WWII and survived. In the process they inflicted more than a million casualties on the Red Army. I doubt any country in the world has more fight in it than Finland. The Swedes on the other hand, well there is a reason there is so much yellow in their flag.
