An armed attack against Sweden cannot be ruled out,” warned Peter Hultqvist, Sweden’s defence minister, shortly after he introduced the defence bill on October 14th.

Sweden has accordingly deepened military ties with NATO (though it is not a member of the alliance), America and its Nordic neighbours."
