Will Sweden Go Nuclear? Scandinavian Country in Talks With France and UK on Nuclear Cooperation
Will Sweden get Nukes?
Once there was a time when Scandinavian Kingdom of Sweden was pacifist and neutral, and had what many viewed as a perfect society.
But now, it has joined NATO and inserted itself in the European rearmament craze, while its society filled with migrants is rife with crime, and about 60 ‘no-go zones’.
Now, if all that is not enough, reports suggest Sweden may be about to try and develop nuclear weapons, while engaging in cooperation with the UK and France.

The reaction online was mixed, at best.
We cannot allow future Muslim majority nations like Sweden to obtain nuclear weapons. It is too dangerous. https://t.co/iMFpP2U98v

Defense24.com reported:
“Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has revealed that his country is in preliminary talks with France and the UK about possible cooperation in the field of nuclear weapons. This is a significant change in Swedish security policy following its entry into NATO and amid growing uncertainty about the long-term commitment of the United States to the defense of Europe.”
Discussions with Paris and London are at a very early stage.
“Prime Minister Kristersson’s statement comes at a time when there is growing debate in Europe about strengthening its own nuclear deterrent, independent of the US. The new US security and defense strategies, which call for a reduction in US involvement in Europe and a focus on greater European independence, mean that the discussion about European countries« own nuclear capabilities will resurface.”
Sweden must build Nuclear Weapons with European allies, according to Sweden’s largest newspaper.
This to defend the country in a world where we no longer can depend on America as our ally. pic.twitter.com/R6s67WRIZS

Breaking Defense reported:
“No concrete proposals or timelines for any cooperation were outlined, and Kristersson emphasized that talks remain preliminary in early stages. But his remarks to Sweden’s public broadcaster SVT mark a notable shift in tone on the sensitive issue in Sweden of nuclear deterrence in Europe.
[…] ‘France occasionally raises, even publicly, an interest in discussing nuclear weapons capabilities with other European countries’, Kristersson said in his comments.
His statement came just days after the US Defense Department released its unclassified National Defense Strategy (NDS). Part of that document laid out a two-pronged message about how the Trump administration will counter Russia: by building up American nuclear forces, while also drawing down US forces in Europe and having the European nations handle their own continental defense.”
