I never believed in the so called Peace Dividend, hence the decision to boost the military spending is late, but better late than never.

The statement from the quote is interesting, since Sweden is not a member of any alliance, so I have no idea who would come and help them, should such help be necessary. There is no agreement between Sweden and NATO, US or EU.
