Sweden seeks NATO ties to deter East West split
A Swedish source says Stockholm fears an East West break and wants to join the North Atlantic pact without provoking Russia. Sweden aims to standardize arms with the United States and obtain raw materials to help Norway and Denmark, while consulting Western military experts on defense cooperation. The plan anticipates quick aid if Scandinavia is attacked, and suggests Sweden could resist for weeks or months while preserving bridgeheads to the Baltic. Sweden—abandoning long neutrality—still seeks a defense pact with Norway and Denmark.
