Is Sweden backing away from NATO?

[flogger]

I haven't heard much of this from the press!

With Sweden on the verge of joining NATO and thier support of the Ukrainian crisis, things have suddenly changed in the Swedish Parliament, and that could derail or delay any future agreements.

Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson abruptly resigned from her position late yesterday, her exit was a surprise to Parliament and from what I hear, she gave no reason for leaving. Her position will be filled, sighting Swedish Parliament procedures,
by a "temporary public servant of the courts choosing...". The officials in charge have placed the CEO of IKEA, Mr. Jon Abramsson Ring as the interim Prime Minister until he is replaced next year by Parliamentary votes.

Mr. Abramsson Ring arrived in Stockholm this morning and is assembling his cabinet as we speak.

Hopefully. The sooner NATO is disbanded the better.

[eddiememphis]

That seems counter productive.

I find it interesting that google searches for both her and him, produce no news/results about her resigning as PM or him being named interim?
just old news from 2021 when she resigned once before?

[Sawin]

And why, Joe_K?

NATO has been instrumental in the supply chain of the Ukraine. Russia may have moved nuclear weapons near to Finland border. Russian empire building by invasion seems to be the trend. It might be easier to take Sweden-Finland than Ukraine. Land grabbing small parcels like Crimea was fairly easy.

I don't see how that is relatable.

Norway, Sweden and Finland are more together than they are with the east or the west.

The lady does not want to deal with the NATO issue. That is my take on it. She is more Neville Chamberlain than Winston Churchill. Iskander missiles were seen moving to the region. My opinion is she wants to defer to someone with more experience with national defense. My final answer...

When does the furniture guy take his pledge?

A lot of people think of NATO as a chairity.

[Sawin]

Lol

Good one.

And the counter productive comment is gold too in the right context ;)

[Sawin]

When does the furniture guy take his pledge?

When his cabinet gets dusty

[BushMasterBoy]

When he comes out of the closet...

Check out War Machine on Netflix, you'll enjoy how NATO is depicted.
