A -> Nuclear weapon is a giant no go sign. Nobody wants to be responsible for the end of the world. B -> > Sweden has a right to be afraid, it's not part of NATO so no article 5, Russia has been shown to respond to EU/NATO pushing into its sphere of influence with uncharacteristically direct responses. Russia just doesn't like expansion of NATO in Europe in general, nothing specific to Sweden. When USSR put missiles on Cuba USA didn't like it a lot as well... But I don't know how much of that opposition is real, and what portion is just a political game. Because there's the same point as with Sweden being attacked by Russia - attack from NATO won't happen, as long as there's nuclear weapon. Those issues you described are just local conflicts, that's the max what Russia can afford. And USA also do play with territorial waters, spy planes etc, that's all part of regular military routine. > So regardless of how far fetched this scenario is according to you the only 3 possible scenarios in which Sweden would be invaded are: Alien Invasion, Space Nazi's or the Russians, with the latter being the only one that might actually happen. There's much more than 3. But even you admit that it's a far fetched scenario, so it's not according to me, it's just far fetched, period. And that was my point, you can as well start preparing for alien space Nazi invasion, but will it be money well spent? It's like amputating your healthy foot because who knows, sometime in the future you can get diabetes. Returning conscription is a very serious thing to do, it's a large move which affects whole country. And there's no point in that. In 1 on 1 conflict it won't help and in case of large scale war (which Russia can't afford nor doesn't want) it won't matter, because Russia will be destroyed by the allies. And nobody here could come up with the answer to original question, "what is the point of attacking Sweden", alone, just Sweden, can you answer it?
