DN: Sweden cannot protect itself. NATO is a logical step

A good neighbor is better than a brother in a foreign country, says an old Swedish proverb. As for national defense, Sweden is strongly inclined to support a conditional brother in the person of the United States, but still refuses to join NATO. As Dagens Nyheter journalist Eric Helmerson emphasizes in his September 23 article, this threatens the country with a risky addiction, especially if an isolationist like Donald Trump remains in the White House for another four years. Follow the development of events in the broadcast: Belarus: the confrontation within the country is growing broadcast "Cooperation with our good northern neighbors is almost always a good idea. Together we share a common history, tradition and often the same values. We welcome the expanded cooperation in the field of defense, which was described by the heads of the military departments of Sweden, Norway and Finland in their author's article in Dagens Nyheter, he wrote. It is significant that almost simultaneously with the fact that it became known about cooperation, the TV4 TV channel reported that two Russian warships invaded Swedish waters near Vinga. The journalist notes that everything is still calm around the borders of Sweden. But the head of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, believes that some of our neighbors are part of the sphere of interests of Russia. This demonstrated the rattling of weapons of Russian forces on the border when democratic protests are taking place in Belarus, he said. Sweden cannot defend itself. NATO is a logical step. However, before the Social Democrats make the same conclusion, it would be better if the Nordic countries were in close relations with each other, Helmerson writes in his article.
