North Korea alone has a million men in active forces and can increase that many times larger while Finland and Sweden have a total of 50k soldiers. Finland and Sweden made NATO weaker, not stronger.
You need navies and air forces to win wars, not just one million dudes with AK’s. How do you reason that adding more countries and manpower hurts NATO, that’s objectively 50k more troops than if they hadn’t added them.
Finland doubled the length of the border NATO has to defend now but didn't add any significant military capabilities. The USA has to send 10s of thousands troops to protect that border but the USA has limited resources and is falling short on hiring quotas so where are they getting those 10s of thousands troops? From other borders meaning it has to thin defenses elsewhere to protect that new border. That makes NATO weaker, not stronger.
Where was it announced that the US is sending 10’s of thousands of troops to that border? I guess I don’t know what a significant military capability is to you. 50,000 modern day equipped troops isn’t insignificant.

USA is building literally 15 new military bases in Finland now.
