Sweden and the Draft

      It has been years since Sweden had a draft: a government imposed obligation for military duty on all citizens.  But, times change.  And the geopolitical climate has changed, especially to the east of the Nordic countries, ie., those that border the Russyan 'Bear".
     Since Mad Vlad Putin has assumed control of the largest country in the world, he has exhibited irrational/ dangerous behaviors.  He has eliminated competition at home by all available means.  He has eliminated opponents abroad by assassination, and he has had  disguised troops invade a foreign country: Ukraine.   Now he has paid a price for these actions, slight as they may be- financial sanctions, etc., he has tightened his grip on his people.  He uses tactics learned while a KGB officer during the old Soviet period.
     Now Sweden looks around and realizes Old Man SAM might not be up to its promised NATO commitment.   A draft seems to be prudent, given Russyan military movements on the border of Finland and the Baltic States(Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania).
     Look for more such actions as reality takes hold in the USA.
