Good, the more, the better.

I understand they and Finland have a good military.

I cannot imagine anything funny about Sweden joining. Though I guess it might increase the diversity of the ration packs, as implied.

Sweden is normally neutral, like Switzerland, which doesn’t mean a bad military. They just don’t waste it policing the world…like us!

Sweden does bring a respectable military to the alliance although I wonder if there are any unexpected consequences.

They have a Da□n fine Submarine force , very Professional !

IKEA’s sending HAGPOKK self-assembled missiles to Ukraine . . . and some Swedish meatballs.

Hey, you don’t mess with Pippi!

That cool but why did it take so long?

It’s high time Turkey stopped its unreasonable opposition to Sweden joining NATO.

“So, how’s that goal of weakening NATO working out for you Putin?”

One of Putin’s many revolving justifications for invading Ukraine, if I remember correctly, was he was afraid of too many countries joining NATO on his border. I wonder how he likes them apples.

might better revisit ukraine’s joining. i hope i never have to say “i told you so”, because we live less than 10 miles from 6 eastern Va nuke targets. and as a member state, US will have to render armed forces response to ukraine. that could get ugly. the fear is real, here. go Joe Brandon! his leftists could bring this mighty nation to its knees.

I was in Bosnia, in 96, and met some of the Swedes supporting IFOR as part of the Nord Pole Brigade. They were some badass hombres.

That would tic off putin.

Well, danziger can be silly once in a while. Can’t he?

It says “Pippi”, but I think JD means “Greta”.

Do not for a moment underestimate the military prowess of the Swedes. Just look at their outsized cultural and technological achievements, from movies and music to automobiles to sports to Spotify.

You disappoint me, Jeff. Sweden should be welcomed with open arms !

Pippi Longstocking is the fictional main character in an eponymous series of children’s books by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren.

I wouldn’t underestimate the Swedes as they have a history of going toe to toe with the Russians. They’ve gone to war with Russia at least twice and even tried to seize control of the Baltic from them. Today their military is built and trained to do one thing and that is to fight Russians.

Fierce Swedish meatballs,YES!

Too bad the people who fight the wars don’t get a say as to why one is started.

If the Swedish Bikini Team joins, I will, too!

People forget that it was Sweden that gave us IKEA.

Check out the video on YouTube Re: the Viggen and the SR-71 Blackbird

Doesn’t Pippi have red hair?

Ukraine doesn’t have the right paperwork, according to NATO.

looks like your plan has backfired Mr. Putin and your BFF, the tRUMPanzie can’t help you anymore

I remember an old one-liner about “Everyone was in an alliance in World War Two except the cowardly Swedes and the peace-loving Irish”.

I don’t know if many people realize this, but ALL the measurements in the stuff IKEA sells are metric, including the hex wrenches. The measurements are converted to US units for stuff they sell in the US.

Maybe Sweden will send lots of hugs and kisses?

Sweden’s decades of neutrality have given it a versatile military and highly advanced arms industry

Sweden manufactures jets. Good ones.

Sweden’s army, as with most Nordic countries, kicks butt!
