SR makes a series of unsuppprted assertions and then demands that others disprove his unsupported claims. Oh dear!.

" the deep ties between the Trump administration and the Russians"

Only the truly fact-averse partisan would be able to make that claim with a straight face. After two years of searching, Mueller and the rest of the deep state haven't found a skerrick of evidence that there are any ties. But if you want it to be true, for some it is, facts be damned.

Meanwhile, in the real world....Sweden has remained outside NATO while retaining ties to it, in the sure and certain knowledge that NATO (ie the US) would rescue them in the event of Russian over-reach. But like most NATO countries they have heard loud and clear Trump's demand that they at least try to pull their weight in their own defence rather than relying on the good graces of the US. While moaning about having to do so most NATO nations are increasing their defence spending. This small move by Sweden is in the same vein.
