—— Reporter: “- As an adversary, how good are you at what you do?”
Swede: “- Very, very good.” ——
Personally, I’m not in doubt.

But, admittedly, some Swedes who are entrusted with tanks ought to take driving lessons:

A nice tribute to USAF as well as the spirit Astrid Lindgren, mother of Pippi Longstocking as well as hundreds of other literary characters, has provided generations of Swedish children with (the song is from a movie based on her books about Emil of Maple Hill which are not as widely known as those about PL)
BUT, is the will of Sweden/Europe really there??
SORRY, FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE USAF TRIBUTE LINK!!!!

In the short term, No, because it won’t be just Iran, but a block of militant turned countries from Afghanistan across North Africa moving north, as well as controlling the energy that Europe needs and fifth columns within.
In the long term, Yes. I think Europe will be pushed to the brink, and then the will to fight “all for one and one for all” will return and the invaders will be routed.
Love those tanks, WC!
You are truly a minority in Europe that you want to defend the Western culture than Muslim animals want to destroy. God bless ya...but your pc continental comrades wont allow freedom to reign, unfortunately.
To put it another way, can Sweden generate the political leadership necessary to step up to the status of serious international player? Scandinavia has quietly been growing and amassing wealth and developing the technological resources and infrastructure to become a force in the world, for the first time in what-- a couple hundred years? But will there be a leader with the charisma and vision to take you to that next level? I hope so. The West will need everything it has to resist and repel the encroaching flood of barbarism.
