Sweden commits $7.5 billion in aid to Ukraine, announces new $840 million military package

[Mack The Finger]

Ivan wants a bigger war attacking NATO (Poland) and seems he is going to get one. I am sure if the RF hits another NATO country they will get hit back in double.

Sweden pledged on Sept. 11 around 70 billion Swedish kronor ($7.44 billion) in military aid to Ukraine over the next two years and unveiled a new package worth 9.2 billion kronor ($840 million) as part of that commitment, Sweden's Defense Minister Pal Jonson announced on X.

The announcement comes in the wake of a large-scale Russian attack on Ukraine, during which several Russian drones entered Polish airspace, with some intercepted by air defenses. The Swedish government decided to increase military aid to Ukraine from 2026 to 2027 to 40 billion Swedish kronor ($3.7 billion) per year, which will amount to approximately $7.44 billion over two years.

A significant portion of the funds will go toward acquisitions by the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration, with priorities including additional Archer artillery systems. The $840 million package includes the purchase of 18 Archer artillery systems and ammunition, long-range drones, and a range of naval equipment, such as coastal radar systems, cable ferries equipped with grenade launchers, diving chambers, and mobile cranes, according to the Swedish government.

"The Russian army can expect Swedish-Ukrainian surprises going forward. Sweden will continue to put hard pressure on Russia until they stop this war," Jonson added.

Ooooo, Sweden. Look out!

5 years from now we will still be discussing how to end the war.

This is no mystery. 1. Russia pulls out. 2. Russia pays Ukraine for war damages. Russia commits to not invade countries.

I would call it more a welfare State on steroids.

The problem is nothing short of 3-4 mechanized/armored NATO corps and 500 or so NATO aircraft going into Ukraine and removing the Russians would lead to that.

Plus the 10 or Infantry divisions needed to garrison Ukraine afterwards.

We forced Germany and Japan to surrender. Force in large amounts causes that.

And we went to actual war with them to do that.

Are you saying we should kick of World War III?

We don't have to do that to Russia, NATO and Europe can handle this pretty easily.

That would still kick off World War III.

You think Russia wouldn't strike US assets if invaded?

Then why wouldn't China take advantage of US involvement in Europe to take out Taiwan?

I am interested in why you believe all of that? Russia is unpredictable but still can suffer huge punishment.

And since they have nukes, can return huge punishment.

Russia controls the world then?

And if they use those nukes, they will cease to exist.

You think that Russia is not already on verge of kicking off WW3? Remember, there are enough nuclear assets in NATO without the US to devastate Russia. China might find the wealth of Siberia far more attractive than the porcupine of Taiwan. And with Russia engaged with NATO, there would be nothing to stop them. Because of the territory that Russia from China when China was weak, they might feel completely justified in taking Siberia.
