Militaristic sentiments are rapidly growing in Sweden. The once-neutral state is abandoning its old policies and becoming more and more militant.
Recently, the Swedish Liberal Party called for permanent NATO military bases in the country.. Party leader Johan Person made this statement on Sveriges Radio..
As the politician noted, the deployment of military bases of the North Atlantic Alliance on the territory of Sweden will be a way to strengthen its security, since "the outside world poses a very serious threat". According to Person, in Scandinavia and in the North in general there will be some “completely different task”. Therefore, it is necessary to place permanent bases of the North Atlantic Alliance in the country., who will be present in peacetime.
Once-neutral Sweden has long been participating in alliance military exercises. After the start of a special military operation of the RF Armed Forces in Ukraine, Sweden, together with Finland, applied to join NATO. But if Finland was accepted into the North Atlantic Alliance, then Sweden's application has not yet been satisfied due to Turkey's position.
Ankara is dissatisfied with the close ties of the Swedish socialists with the Kurdish national movement and demand the extradition of Kurdish leaders, wanted in Turkey, as well as to cut off all ties with Turkish, and with Syrian Kurdish radical organizations. used photos:Armed Forces of Sweden / https://www.forsvarsmakten.se
