    Swede here, we just joined NATO and this shit terrifies me, and what is worse is that this is what people are saying publicly, how far will they go in practice?

      Nah, I doubt they’ll manage what they say. Some maybe, and shit’ll suck no doubt, but there’s a lot of inertia in the bureaucracy. My real worry is what the CCP & Russia will do once they have a green light that the US won’t intervene in their expansionist ideals.

      Usually they go less far in practice than their promises, because our government was designed to be gridlocked.
