Sweden signs defense pact granting US access to all Scandinavian military bases
Fox News ^ | December 6, 2023

On the brink of joining NATO, Sweden has signed a defense cooperation agreement with Washington that will allow the United States access to all of the military bases across the Scandinavian country, saying the deal would bolster regional security.

Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson said the deal, signed in Washington Tuesday, "will create better conditions for Sweden to be able to receive support from the United States in the event of a war or crisis."

Jonson told Swedish broadcaster SVT that it didn’t mean that "all 17 locations will be used" but "where it is most important from a military perspective for them to be able to store defense equipment, for example."

The deal was signed at the Pentagon by Jonson and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin who said that by adding the capabilities of the Swedish armed forces to NATO, "we will get even stronger."

World is heading to a new world war.

Russia, and Europe, are behaving like the used to.

Seems like the DoD has just acquired the “rights” to stage on Swedish soil. A step up from NATO membership to “platforming.”

Sure to make the unavoidable, coming negotiations all the more problematic.

Negotiations? Of course....

Well, that’s okay I guess. But I wonder if we’ll see mission creep here.
I hope not. The United States garrisons enough places for free as it is.

Not good for Sweden. Granting the American Empire a foothold makes it harder for Sweden to repatriate their diversity should they ever want to.

A race against time.

Which will happen first? A complete surrender to Islam (almost there) or getting attacked by Russia?

And yes, the Muslim invasion and woke social-engineering of Sweden will continue apace as well.

the two things are absolutely connected.

I guess Armageddon demands that you pick a side.

We need to get out of NATO now. Any reason to be a member ended with the fall of the Soviet Union. Let the EU pay for the cost of defending the EU.

I’d think NATO states would worry less about the bears in the woods and more about the elephants in their rooms. But I would be wrong.

Russia will have to check their nuclear missile targeting and add Sweden if it’s not already on the list.

Better safe than sorry, that’s why we still need NATO

First, a surrender to the caliphate, followed by Russia invading to 'kick the caliphate out', and being welcomed as liberators!
