Can Sweden Return to the 1658 Peace in Roskilde?

Sweden has fought many wars with Russia with the last victory in 1658 at the peak of the Swedish Empire followed by defeats in the wars 1700-21, 1741-43, 1788-90 and 1808-09 (Finland lost), whereafter Sweden retreated to a long (and fruitful) period of no-war and neutrality. However, this ended in March 2024 when Sweden joined NATO in an effort to return to 1658 by supplying Ukraine with so much weapons made in Sweden that Putin/Russia would be defeated and the Swedish Empire could be re-established. 

This was made very clear in the press conference of the Nordic-Baltic-Poland Summit today, hosted by Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson setting the Agenda: 

• More weapons and ammunition to Ukraine soldiers to do the fighting for Sweden.
• More sanctions against Russia to weaken Russian economy already weak..

Kristersson forcefully followed up with:

• We are at a pivotal moment. 
• Freedom is never for free.
• We will enhance our military support including production in Ukraine of weapons of Swedish Design. Swedish Steel is strong.
• We support Ukraine in its path to NATO.
• Everybody desires peace in Ukraine, except Russia.
• Together we will act to constrain, contest and counter Russia's aggression in the Baltic Sea, in Ukraine and beyond. 
• Russian soldiers fight for money.
• Western sanctions work despite Russian propaganda.
• Russian economy is sinking deeper into an unsustainable imbalance between an escalating war expenditure and starvation of the rest of the economy.

Recall the war in Ukraine is the result of the plan of NATO to expand to Ukraine, viewed by Russia as an existential threat (and also by NATO), but evidently still the plan. 

What Kristersson has not yet understood is that the new Russian missile Oreshnik changes the game completely. What will he say when this game changer has sunk in? Maybe after all, it is better to seek peace with Russia? At least for the Swedish people if not for (the very strong) Swedish Weapons Industry.

Sweden Prepares Citizens for WW3 with Tips How to Survive

Sweden as new member of NATO is now preparing its citizens for a nuclear WW3 as the only remaining possibility to guarantee expansion of NATO to Ukraine (when now Russia with the new missile Oreshnik (more) has shown vast superiority of non-nuclear force), through a little brochure War Is Coming including general advice for survival like: 

• The elevated global threat level increases the risk that nuclear weapons may be used. 
• During attacks in which nuclear, chemical or biological weapons are used, take cover as you would during an air raid. 
• Civil defence shelters provide the best protection. 
• Radiation levels will lower drastically after a couple of days.

Together with more specific tips like: 

• If there’s no water – for example, as the result of a power cut – you will not be able to flush your toilet. Prepare to dispose of waste in other ways and maintain good hygiene.

Citizens are also reminded that 

• From the year you turn 16 until the end of the year you turn 70, you are part of Sweden’s total defence and required to serve in the event of war or the threat of war.

Sweden with its glorious history of wars, is thus ready for yet another adventure, with full support from all members of the Parliament except one (Elsa Widding without party affiliation), while the Swedish people is kept away from realities by only NATO certified information.  

For a peace-loving Swede it is sad to see that there is no peace-movement in Sweden at all. What message are we giving our children and grandchildren?
