The Week Ahead: Supporting the troops, but opposing the alliance
Most Swedes favor a strong military. But not everyone is convinced that there is strength in numbers.
During the Cold War, when Sweden was neutral, its frequent war games in its northern Norrbotten region were aimed at training to stall a Soviet invasion until help could arrive. Today, Sweden is closely affiliated with NATO (though not a member). Its exercises, such as this week’s Northern Wind exercise, are still aimed at defending the country from attack, though now just who the foe might be is left unstated.
