I’m not sure why they want them as they’ve surrendered the entire country to Islam. What exactly is it they’re going to defend? Anyone invading now would be considered a rescue party.

Interesting, the Muslims and Progressives are already in control of several of their major cities, I guess the plan is "scorched earth".

Not surprising considering Russia’s latest moves. This is what Russia wanted to avoid. They cannot win an arm’s race. They are too far behind now.
Luckily for them, President Obama is a wimpy girly woman.

The best defense is a good offense.

The Swedish Armed Forces pointed out that other countries in the wider Baltic area, including Finland and Russia, were investing in similar weapons.

Call me crazy but I'd say that the Swedes are a bit more concerned by *Soviet* missiles than Finnish ones.

This is probably aimed more at the potential sales to other countries than their own defense. They are making the Gripen much more desirable. Have to wonder, though, the effect on licenses they rely on for much of the technology they use - those licenses would have been based on the prior role and expected use.

Don’t worry, they’ve been de-nutted along with Norway. They are now multi-cult socialist paradises and if you live there you’d better not say anything different. Some of them are trying to break free and deserve our support even though they are branded ‘racist’. We’re seeing the same thing here.

Not if the former Warsaw Pact countries oppose them.

The Swedes will help Finland when needed against the obvious, expansionist adversary.

I think the Us would be in deep doodoo if we had buy our ordinance. These countries have been around for heck of longer time than we have and cannot develop a weapon system to protect themselves!
Nations black ball and demean our country but are first in line for defense systems! I would think the Iron Curtain would be better served for their needs! The Cruise is a strike weapon.
That said they should really wait for when the laser technology is up for sale. I wonder who is threatening them, 0?
