They have really good submarines, too. And they do joint training with NATO

Based on the patterns we've seen elsewhere, it's probably only a matter of time until they discover a Swedish variant anyway.

It is but the attempt is to prevent new clusters of it in different parts of the country. The Regional differences are huge regarding infections and deaths. During the first wave 40 of our 290 municipalities had 70% of the deaths.

A shift happened in November 2015 and the pandemic hasnt done anything to change the new direction.

Everyone has to fill out a form about a year before they graduate high school (I think it still is a crime not to submit the form back to the Armed Forces) and a couple thousand of them are selected yearly. I think it is 5000-7000 youngsters?

The 8 major crossings I believe. The whole border is not possible. But barely anyone lives along large parts of the border

If Norway and Sweden go to war, whose side will Denmark be on?
Norway and Denmark are both NATO-members so probably Norways side. Sweden and Denmark are both EU-members however which might make Denmark take a neutral stance.

They would definitely stay neutral and then swoop in and conquer both countries once we've weakened each other

At war is to exaggerate but it is most unfortunate escalation.

Being neutral is not equal to not having a military or not to use your military. And we are less neutral than policy make it sound (we often have joint exercises with NATO for example).

It's relatively neutral from a legal perspective - it's not a NATO member so it can claim some impartiality there.

But... it does participate in a lot of joint training exercises with the US and other NATO countries. So it's pretty clear they align ideologically with other western countries, they just aren't legally bound to that.

True, it is hyperbole. But still, I never would've expected an escalation a few years ago.
