Sweden’s Army Chief Warns Of WORLD WAR 3 Inside Europe ‘Within a Few Years’
Breitbart ^ | 01/27/2016 | by OLIVER JJ LANE

Sweden, which has not officially been at war in over 200 years, will soon be pulled into a European conflict according to an internal army document sent to soldiers and civil servants ahead of army manoeuvres next week.

Citing the situation in Sweden, the recent decisions of domestic politicians, and global instability, the chief of the Swedish army General Anders Brannstrom told men under his command they could expect to be fighting a war in Europe against skilled opponents "within a few years".

As well as soldiers, the booklet containing his stark warning has also been given to civil servants, politicians, and guests of next week's annual manoeuvres and military demonstrations and exercises. Discussing the new military budget passed by the Swedish government last year for 2016-2020, General Brannstrom said: "The requirement of our ability to perform armed combat against a skilled opponent was clear, and this in context of the objective to create a front line against military attack and defend Sweden".

"The global environment we are experiencing which is also demonstrated by strategic decisions [taken by politicians] leads us to the conclusion we could be at war within a few years".

The general said the manoeuvres, which this year focus on the Swedish army's ability to fight and survive a winter war, should be conducted with this security situation in mind.

Speaking of his comments with Sweden's best selling tabloid Aftonbladet, the General said the deteriorating security picture in Europe was the main factor behind his warning, indicating the Islamic State conducting military campaigns in Europe and spreading instability from the Ukraine could lead to conflict. Sensationally, he suggested a Third World War was just round the corner.

Breitbart London interviewed the recently retired head of the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence Development, Concepts, and Doctrine Centre last year, and reported his belief Islamist terror groups would start to launch terror raids on the coasts of southern Europe by boat. Rear Admiral Parry RN told Breitbart London that Islamists could follow the example set by the deadly Mumbai attacks in 2008 which saw Islamist commandos land in fast boats and storm the city and kill 150.

The Admiral said: “We will soon be experiencing minor hit and run attacks on remote parts of Europe, like Malta and the Greek Islands”.

There won’t be a war. Sweden and Germany will turn themselves willingly over to 7th century throwbacks who eat their food, rape their women, take their money, and slice their necks.

Here’s an idea - maybe you yellow bellied squareheads could pitch in and help next time. I won’t hold my breath.

The Swedes (and the other Scandinavians for that matter ) have not shown their mettle in battle or combat since the time of the Vikings.

Here's a report from the American Thinker....

If the Swedish military is anything like the Swedish police, the battle may be over quickly (if it isn’t over already). Tommy Robinson, ex-leader and founder of the English Defense League, reports that ten Swedish police officers fled a refugee center after being surrounded by a mob of violent “migrants.” The police had been called in after the staff at the center failed to safely transfer to another facility a 10-year-old boy who was being repeatedly raped. The staff’s inability to transfer him was due to a “hostile attitude” from the “refugees” when they made the attempt.

So not only did the asylum center fail to complete a seemingly simple task (in a normal world), but so did the police. One officer on the scene stated: “Even more people appeared behind us. I was mentally prepared to fight for my life. We were 10 officers in a narrow corridor. And I hear someone yell that there is an emergency exit.”

News of the debacle was made public after keeping a lid on it for nearly a week, at which time the Prime Minister said the incident underscored the need for more police officers in light of the wave of “refugees” coming into the country.

No it’s gonna be a civil war within EACH EU State. The germans against their muslims, the Swedish against their muslim, the French against their muslims. The EU has imported BLACK (Flag) Death and will not take the necessary prescription to fend against it!

Unexpected? What I do expect is that General Brannstrom will be summarily retired in hours due to his unabashed Islamophobia and racism..

See this take from FR's own Travis McGee (Matt Bracken) which comes to the same conclusion but with a much more substantial analysis. Very intriguing and well thought out:

The swedes have decided to join ISIS? They definitely have enough crazy muslims in their midsts to fill the ranks, along with a bunch of dhimmis to offer full support.

I wonder how the swede dhimmis stack up against the english, french, and german dhimmis?

I guess we’ll see who can out aloha snackbar each other over in euopistan.

It’s going to make the Thirty Years War look like a Sunday School picnic.
