Their armed forces apparently went from 700,000 to 50,000 gradually. Sweden's military spending is at a historic low, but they want their population to be ready to be invaded.
Some poor military guy being interviewed: "We have been naive... people thought that, oh nothing's gonna happen to us... and then we lost all the knowledge. ... We are very vulnerable so that's something being discussed a lot in Sweden..."
Sweden has no alliances... isn't even part of NATO. When asked about lack of alliances the defense minister (surprisingly a male) answers: ""We are a non-allied nationa nd we will be a non-allied nation and I think that is best..."
Honestly Sweden has gotten so bad that if i was a swede i would at least entertain the possibility that an invasion by Putin's Russia would be better for me. Of course, that's fantasy and never gonna happen, but still i'd think about it.
