In the Foreign Policy Debate today in the Swedish Parliament Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Stenergard opened by forcefully declaring:
- Sweden is in the midst of long term confrontation with Russia.
- Support to Ukraine is the Government's top foreign policy priority.
- Our task is inescapable.
- Sweden never stands alone.
- We will constrain Russias ability to do us harm, particularly through our support to Ukraine.
- We are guided by our belief in a free and strong Ukraine.
- Sweden has increased its support to Ukraine each year of the war, totalling 70 billion SEK.
- Russia's goal is to impose a sphere of influence with series of vassals and satellites.
- The war is determined on the battle field.
- For Sweden support to Ukraine is a moral obligation and an indispensable investment in our own security.
- Swedish land forces are now part of Nato's forward forces in Latvia.
- It is up to Ukraine if and when negations will start.
- Our unequivocal support....to make Ukraine's position stronger.
- Pressure on Russia's war economy must increase.
- Our military support to Ukraine must be strengthened... now its 18th military support package the largest to date.
- The only sustainable peace is one that Ukraine achieves through strength.
- Negotiations from a position of weakness would only further Russian aggression.
- Sweden will continue military support to Ukraine as long as it takes.
So Sweden is again at war again with Russia to be added to this long list of wars from 1164 to 1809 when Sweden lost Finland in the Finnish War between the Kingdom of Sweden and Russian Empire.
But this is forgotten by the Swedish Government, which instead lives in a fantasy of repeating the glorious victory in the battle at Narva in 1700 when a Swedish army of 10.000 soldiers lead by warrior King Karl XII overpowered a Russian army of 40.000. And Sweden won Hockey WM against Russia in 1957 and 1987.
Short story: The Swedish Government is not well informed, because of lack of Intelligence?
