"Sweden Executes an About Face"

"Sweden is not an official ally, but as the largest Scandinavian country, she has influence from Finland, through the Baltic and across the sea to Iceland."

"She also has a long history with Russia that she cannot keep an eye off for too long."

"The Swedish parliament has approved an increase of a whopping 40% in the defence expenditure to counter the threat of Russian aggression. This will take the Swedish defence expenditure to USD 11 billion. This is the first such massive increase in the Swedish defence expenditure in the last 70 years. Only last week, the main parties in the Swedish parliament also adopted the stand to support NATO membership."  

SWEDEN FOR A LONG TIME [AND STILL MAYBE IS] ONLY ONE OF THREE DECLARED NEUTRAL NATIONS IN THE WORLD. NOT ALIGNED AND UNDERSTOOD TO BE SO.

APPARENTLY NO LONGER.
