Swedish ruling party says no to NATO

40
Sunday, April 9, was not the best day for NATO, the expansion for which turned into a kind of drug addiction. It became known that at the congress of the ruling Swedish Social Democratic Labor Party, it was stated that the party does not support the idea of ​​joining the military bloc. According to the information agency TASS Representatives of the ruling party supported the policy of Swedish neutrality by voting for the provision of security policy outside the blocs.

This provision is called "We say no to the North Atlantic Alliance."

Swedish ruling party says no to NATO


The adoption of such a decision took place after an initiative, previously announced by the Swedish Minister of Defense, for refusing NATO’s proposal to join it. The Swedish minister argued his position by the fact that it is very important for Sweden to maintain non-aligned status, focusing on the security of his state.

It is worth noting that representatives of other parties, such as the Centrists, the Christian Democrats and the Liberal Party of Sweden, are voicing for Sweden’s entry into NATO.

Does this mean that in Sweden, not without outside help and support, the alignment of political forces can be changed in favor of those who are in favor of the entry of Sweden into the western military bloc?

              Oh no, the lack of joint command, logistics, etc. Non-participation of the contingent in NATO operations, etc. It is a pity that France is not De Gaulle, although it may be Marina ...

                Sweden and Denmark during the Second World War were the main donors of the Third Reich. After the deprivation of the Sudetenland and the Austrian Anschluss, they announced the inadmissibility of disruption of the supply of raw materials. LIKE THIS IT WAS stated on paper - it was an ultimatum.

      That Swedes did not expect. It is evident that it was not for nothing that Sweden was once feared in Europe. Well done.

    Although they are Social Democrats (as if they had the same views with Judah Gorbi!), They still retained the remnants of common sense, despite the fact that with 10 million migrants the number of rapes increased by an order of magnitude over the past 10 years (you see, so many became gay that the Swedes at least have fun - and then in joy!).

      Dear, there’s nothing sensational in this news, but losses from the adoption of sanctions can hit the economy of Sweden itself, again, an increase in defense spending, but what do they need?

    Swedes, you hold on there. Of course, you “slowed down” the migrants on time, but there are already a lot of them. They will bring tires to the square, and yeah ... Sweden is in NATO!

      It all depends on how quickly the mattresses bring the "right" leaders to power.

    The answer to the question is so obvious ...

    Sweden is a completely solvent country, and such a client is needed for mattresses. After all, their military industry needs markets. A matter of time when the Swedes will “change their minds”. IMHO.

    In non-aligned status, there are much more advantages plus a minimum of risks to get involved in dirty military provocations. The Swedes were already neutral in World War II and benefited more from their neutral position by trading with warring parties and not getting involved in military confrontation. In addition, they served as a diplomatic and negotiation platform.

    the party does not support the idea of ​​a country joining a military bloc.

    What can I say. There are still smart people in Sweden. Although someone wants to increase the presence of NATO.

    clever women, as I understand it, have a strong army, modern tanks / planes, etc. that they themselves release, plus the nuclear weapons of a neighbor are not aimed at them, and if something happens, like in the Second World War, you’ll fight, but we will stand by. The psychology of the strong.

    Mandatory. At the very least, there will be concrete stuffing of compromising evidence and media speculations about the bad party leaders who prevent people from living happily under the wing of NATO.

    A sane decision, apparently in a "rotting" Sweden can count money ....

    And then I would have to increase my military budget to 2% of GDP ....
    If Sweden (and Finland) would join NATO, the Russian Federation would have to withdraw (and most likely still have to) withdraw from the Treaty on the Nuclear-Free Zone of the Baltic Sea, with all that it implies ....
