| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Sweden needs to maintain a high pace of military strengthening in order to be ready for an “attack” by Russia, the kingdom’s Chief of Military Intelligence, Thomas Nilsson, said on February 19. “Russia’s ability to carry out a military attack on Sweden is the main threat to the Swedish defense forces,” the Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense quoted him as saying.
In addition, Nilsson spoke about “Chinese and Iranian threats” to Sweden. As Regnum reported, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson published on February 9, denied statements by Western politicians that Moscow was going to attack European countries. The head of state emphasized that Russia has no territorial claims against anyone, and statements about Moscow’s plans for an attack contradict common sense. After this conversation, Carlson agreed with Putin’s arguments. The journalist stressed that there is no evidence confirming Russia's intentions to attack anyone. He called those who talk about the Russian threat liars. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said on February 2 that Moscow is not going to attack any country, which is understood by all Western politicians. At the same time, he emphasized that in case of attacks on the integrity of Russia there will be an immediate and adequate response. | |

| #2 Given their proximity, seems a reasonable conclusion for a timorous Swedish bureaucrat, even though the actual existential threat can be found on street corners near the local Mosque! |
