Loosely related comment: (02)
In the 1980s, I attended a conference in Stockholm. During dinner,
some of the Swedes mentioned some related topics. One point was that
the Soviets claimed the Swedish army wasn't truly neutral. They said
that if a war broke out, it would probably take the side of NATO.
Therefore, the Swedish army should be counted as part of NATO forces. (03)
My response was that by that line of reasoning, the Polish army should
be counted as part of NATO forces. (04)
