Domestic. During Tuesday it was practically clear that Sweden will be admitted to the US-led military alliance NATO. At the same time that it was in principle too late to withdraw the application, the media and authorities chose to shift the focus in their reporting on the membership – and emphasize that the US does not need to help us in the event of a Russian attack.

Instead of reporting on the benefits of NATO entry, several media switched to starting to prepare the Swedes to accept that Sweden and a number of neighboring countries will go to war with Russia on their own, without the help of, for example, the USA, Great Britain and the like.
The armed forces already went out on SVT the morning after the Turkish announcement and clarified for the TV giant's “security reporter” John Granlund that NATO membership does not mean that Swedish soldiers can expect help from allied countries when Sweden goes to war against Russia.

“This does not mean that soldiers from allied countries automatically roll in to help Sweden. All measures in NATO must first be anchored politically in the alliance,” SVT's reporting suddenly says.
The new announcements open for a solution that is very beneficial for the US and that is reminiscent of the solution chosen by NATO in Ukraine, where Ukraine alone is at war against Russia and where the EU and NATO contribute weapons, training, money and the like.
According to The armed forces will increase the risk of Russian attacks against Sweden with, among other things, ballistic missiles through NATO membership, but the imminent membership will still bring about a “significantly improved military strategic situation for Sweden”, according to the authority.
Regardless of how that's about it, however, it is clear that membership will mean a strategic boost for the Swedish arms industry and in particular for the Wallenberg sphere, which has already earned 60 billion kroner from the war in Ukraine and the increased risk of war in Sweden. For the Wallenberg sphere's power company Investor, the share price has risen by 6.13 percent since Thursday.
