Why another defense deal with the US, when Sweden just joined NATO?

[–] Atomic 7 points 5 months ago (8 children)

Because this deal gives US access to military based starting now. And can place soldiers there.

Just because Sweden is in NATO doesn't mean other NATO countries can place soldiers in Sweden during peacetime

Germany and other countries have soldiers stationed in Lithuania on a NATO initiative. Where‘s the difference?

[–] Atomic -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Very difficult for me to tell you the difference because we are not privy to that type of information. Seeing as it is incredibly sensitive. I didn't strike the deal with Lituania. And I didn't strike the deal with Sweden and USA. (Sorry)

But the similarity, is that Lithuania agreed to it.

you find it weird that I asked that question?

[–] Atomic 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is that relevant to anything?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

to our conversation, yes. I ask a question, not necessarily to you, you know, and you derail the conversation with: how should I know, I didn‘t make the deal with Lithuania? yeah it‘s relevant to my appreciation of you, I guess.
