That being said, I find the Swedish PM's language much more pessimistic than previous statements. I'm not going to read too much into it beyond this assessment.
So here's the play if things are still not sorted following the Turkish election.
Step 1) A new organization called The North Atlantic Defense Organization is created. It is identical to NATO, except that it has a different letter in the 3rd word forming its NADO acronym. All current NATO members as well as Sweden and Finland are eligible to join NADO, should they wish to do so.
Step 2) Jens Steltenberg announces he is resigning as head of NATO, and by coincidence, is simultaneously offered the position of NADO head. At right about the same time, USA, UK, France, Germany, Poland, as well as every other NATO member country announces it is pulling out of NATO and joining NADO. Sweden and Finland also announce they are joining NADO and withdraw their still-pending NATO applications.
Step 3) With no funding and no budget remaining, and no members other than Turkey left, NATO has no option but to sell its office space and other infrastructure. Curiously, there turns out to be a willing buyer - NADO.
Step 4) If Turkey wishes, it may join NADO and join the party. Or Turkey can just stay in NATO and have a defensive alliance with itself. Either way, whatever Erdogan prefers is fine.
For bonus points, you can perform a similar operation with the European Union, the European Junction, and Hungary.
Sounds similar to the Plan if the war ends with the West agreeing that Ukraine can't join NATO
