Armed, rich and military competent enough to remain “neutral”:

Had we spent our last 200 years “enjoying peace” you would not be on the internet typing in English...

LOL, militarily competent?

How would you know?

What kind of institutional memory do the Swedes have of warfare? As they say, no plan survives first contact with the enemy, and the first part of any armed conflict is unlearning the doctrine of the previous one. I guess if Norway gets uppity, you guys are safe.

I REALLY appreciate the contribution of the Swedes to military weapons and, especially, to western culture.

Sweden is the homeland of the Gots and Vandals.

However, to put things in perspective, I witnessed the USS Long Beach shoot down a target craft with a beam weapon in 1985.

1985.

Sure, all the kinks aren't worked out even now.

But, just you wait.
