UPDATED: Sweden's military has announced that if it finds a suspect foreign vessel in the Stockholm archipelago, it is prepared to force it to the surface "with weapons if necessary". Battleships, minesweepers, helicopters and more than 200 troops are scouring an area about 30 to 60 kilometres from the Swedish capital after a "man-made" and foreign object was spotted in the waters.

"The most important value of the operation - regardless of whether we find something -- is to send a very clear signal that Sweden and its armed forces are acting and are ready to act when we think this kind of activity is violating our borders," Supreme Commander General Sverker Göranson said.

The Swedes should just troll a case of Stoli through the are til the Russkies surface to get it. :-)

And thus the phrase uttered by Bullwinkle a few minutes later:
WasaMattaU?

[Paladin2]

Well that’s the story the Swedes tried to float.....

So what are the 200 troops doing exactly? Out in row boats like Machinist’s Mate George Stickle?

[Resolute Conservative]

Maybe they need help.

[X-spurt]

cost little to maintain

Sounds just like the ruski Navy. Maybe “pays” should replace “cost”.

Looking for Henry Limpet?

Now they just need a 9v battery.
