I wonder what the response will be from the nuclear countries if this becomes a real prospect.

This is likely just posturing to get commitments from the UK and/or France. Would be really interesting if they actually go for it though.

If Russian aggression had been stopped in 2022 or better yet in 2014, the major driver of nuclear proliferation would be gone.

The Nordics absolutely need to have both strategic and tactical nukes.

I really hope that our government is secretly working with Swedes or other nerby state, to produce nuclear weapons

Scandinavia should link up with Poland and start a project like that.
There is already a lot of military cooperation going on with Poland buying Swedish submarines and Carl Gustavs, Norway buying PPZR Piorun and Poland using Finnish licence for its KTO Rosomak. Also Poland is already working on missiles.
Poland + Baltics + Scandinavia is a natural alliance against Russia

Hell yes

I for one welcome the idea of a nordic nuclear umbrella headed by Sweden.
Revoke the „Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction“ and then make a 50 megaton Surströmming bomb. That would show people we mean business! We can name it after our beloved king and call it the Knug Bomb.

I really hope that this nuclear deterrent is left to the EU as an institution, not to the individual member states.

LOL.
Looking forward to that debate in Sweden, will be a shit show and all the newspapers will just put out propaganda how bad it is and that we should just hug.
If they want todo it, it should probably be hidden from the public like last time.
