Sweden is new to NATO and is ranked 27 out of 145 in terms of military strength by the Global Firepower Index (GFI). Sweden's new jet fighter, the JAS 39 Gripen, is a multi-role fighter jet, designed for high survivability and rapid turnaround in combat. Unlike other aircraft, it can land on highways, refuel in minutes, and be serviced by young conscripts, making it a cornerstone of Sweden's Bas 90 defensive strategy. GFI notes the Swedish AF has 71 fighter aircraft. Link: youtube

... The US has informed its allies that it intends to stop planning for upcoming military exercises in Europe. ...

Of course.

Why participate in the longest peace-promoting alliance in history, when such participation might go against what the puppet-master Pres Putin dictates?

Trump is leaving the door open to Europe for Russia.

Europe has some grace as Russia licks its substantial wounds.

After that, they need to be prepared for war.

Yes war, you silly and hypocritical MAGA "pacifists".

Not pacificists.

They still want war with Chynuh.

This is nothing new. It started when Obama was the prez. I spend much of my time doing exercise planning and partner nation integration, especially with SOF and AF. It has been busy as hell. In the past several months I met with the heads of the military services for several of our allies. Some of them had a very strange vibe. Maybe this is why. Maybe they knew something we didn't.
