The expert told, where Sweden “peace paradigm”
“The situation is really deplorable”, - with such a phrase the expert described the defensive potential of Sweden. And this is no secret to anyone, he noted.
Sweden has neither strategic reserves, nor governing bodies for organizing civil defense, “we pushed the ability to think and prepare for the“ unthinkable ”for the paradigm of perpetual peace,” he states.
At the same time, in his opinion, there is a growing threat to various regions of Sweden, "and this is not about the full occupation of the country, but about the likelihood that Russia will try to use part of Swedish territory during a conflict with the West."
At the moment, the Swedish defense is not able to withstand the approach of foreign aid, therefore the country must increase its defensive potential to such an extent that it can hold out one month before the arrival of reinforcements.
We should not forget about the geographical aspect: “The Aland Islands may become a more likely goal for the“ green men ”than Gotland - because of its more complex international status of the demilitarized zone,” said Oksanen.
According to him, in order to close the holes in the Swedish defense, it will take time - at least 10 years - and money. “In order for Sweden to cope with the“ unthinkable ”development of events, if necessary, it needs to allocate at least 2% of GDP for military spending,” the author is sure.
