>I was referring to the fact, that lately I was hearing a lot of things specifically about Sweden I understand that Russian media really wants to ridicule Sweden for that. You do not have to buy this. Sweden has been very destructive to its military and they just started to realise it. I think it is good for them. >Sweden being afraid and even returning conscription (that awful atavism of the past) A reservist army is an only way to build a real defence for a small country. Service time in a modern country is limited to reasonable time and is optimized to give reasonable military training. If you compare it to the experience in the Soviet Army then it will be not comparable - it is not for painting grass or glueing leaves on trees. >If you ask random Finn how possible is war with Russia nowadays, what do you think he/she will answer? Do you mean on the street or after bottle of vodka (that is do you want to hear a politically correct opinion or the real one)?
