Not surprising, though interesting. There has been a recent change in Sweden's thinking in regards to it's neighbor to the east....which is unsettling considering that Sweden was comfortable with a neutral position during the Cold War.

Also, this rather sobering report by the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.
