They also have a lot of R&D, sw dev, etc in Gothenburg.

The Gripen E is 4.5 gen, and I am not sure having US fighters in a war against US would be so much better.

I guess they will use Ericsson and Nokia equipment instead.

I think it’s Ericsson and Nokia (which bought Alcatel Lucent I think) that are the main competitors.

Two countries in Europe have nuclear weapons (several have nuclear power though). Sweden for example had a nuclear weapons program that was shut down in the late 60s (guess which c…

I believe there are several non-US awacs systems out there, although the American ones are probably the most common.

I personally am not afraid of russia successfully invading my country, especially considering how much men and equipment they lost in Ukraine. But if the war in Ukraine would end o…

Or russia could maybe just leave? Quickest and smoothest way to get peace.

So you mean we should be happy with peace on russian terms and rewarding them for invading their neighbour? Russia is very much weakened and probably would like this though.

You weren’t alone in Iraq and Afghanistan. Also, fighting against talibans and Iraqi rebels is a bit different compared to the war in Ukraine so I’m not so sure your US troops are …

Plenty of European countries joined the US in Afghanistan and Iraq when the US asked for help.

You entered ww1 in 1917, almost at the end of the war after German submarines attacked American ships, if I remember correctly. So the US tried to stay out for quite some time.

Who are “they”? Several European countries have nuclear power (together with some other source as well of course) and are planning to build more. It will probably take a long time …

We do have defence industry in Europe as well.

It seems for some reason that it’s only important to keep these things in mind and mention that it contains American tech, is an international effort, etc, when discussing some suc…

In what way did Ukraine and the west threaten Russia? What bad thing do you believe would have happened to Russia if they hadn’t decided to invade and destroy big parts of Ukraine?…

I got the Swedish translation as a kid more than 40 years ago and also spent plenty of time trying to find the goldbug. Still have the book and my kids loved it as well.

No, it’s not people from one college. The members of the different committees are professors or scientists from various Swedish universities, and the Royal Swedish Academy which gi…
