Military rearmament likely if Sweden joins Nato, report says
By EUOBSERVER
Swedish membership in Nato would likely lead to military rearmament in the Baltic region, and wouldn't solve the Swedish military's shortcomings. But it would also deter Russia from military aggressions, according to a report by ambassador Krister Bringeus, the government's rapporteur on Nato membership. The report, which will be made public shortly, doesn't take a stance on whether Sweden should join the military alliance or not.
