  • NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), Christopher G. Cavoli, on Deterrence and defence in Europe at Folk och Försvars Rikskonferens 2023.
    RIKSKONFERENSEN 2023: NATO OCH EU PÅ AGENDAN
    Varje år sedan 1946 genomför Folk och Försvar Rikskonferensen - Sveriges främsta forum för diskussion om säkerhetspolitik, försvar, samhällets krisberedskap och globala säkerhetstrender. Under tre dagar samlar cirka 350 deltagare och 60-70 talare för kunskapsspridning, samtal och debatt. I fokus står världens säkerhet, Sveriges försvar, människors trygghet och samhällets krisberedskap. Konferensen uppmanar till möten mellan politiker, aktiva inom organisationer i civilsamhället - inte minst ungdomsorganisationer - samt representanter för fackliga organisationer, näringsliv och myndigheter. Därtill finns en stor och växande medienärvaro.
    Vi ser en värld där demokrati på många håll är på tillbakagång, terrorn hittar nya fästen att gro, klimatförändringarnas konsekvenser leder till humanitära katastrofer och antalet människor på flykt ökar. Samtidigt pågår ett invasionskrig i Europa: det allvarligaste säkerhetspolitiska läget vi sett sedan andra världskriget. Rysslands invasion av Ukraina 2014 som utvecklades till ett fullskaligt krig den 24 februari 2022 har ställt mycket på ända, inte minst svensk och finsk utrikes- och säkerhetspolitik. EU antog en stark enad front gentemot Ryssland och från årsskiftet 2022/2023 övertog Sverige över ordförandeklubban i EU:s ministerråd. Samtidigt har både Sverige och Finland ansökt om medlemskap i Nato, något som för Sveriges del innebär en brytpunkt med en 200-årig tradition av militär alliansfrihet.
    Mot bakgrund av Sveriges EU-ordförandeskap och den utveckling vi sett var temat för 2023 års Rikskonferens EU och Nato i en ny säkerhetspolitisk verklighet.

    37 Ukraine Front brigades in Action. Usa have 3 in Europe, the only with well Equipment and trained. All other are on Paper! Russia has lost 2000 Tanks?! Ukraine 8000?! And now the only thing we conclude is, to prepare for war against Russia, having lost all our depots in Ukraine, having no functional armies, having no functional factories, having no people want to fight and die. Very clever

    I honestly cannot understand NATO ground forces as being relevant to anything in this time in history. The reason why is that NATO Members and Russia (NATO’s Rival) both have nuclear weapons. So any ground war between the two would result in a likely existential threat which then leads to nuclear war. I feel like those not in NATO are the only ones with potential security threats, so it would make sense for them to link up with US’ NATO or Russia. Being neutral or not aligned and or without nuclear weapons seems to leave those states predisposed to security threats. In the case of Ukraine, I cannot understand the US and NATO position in defending them because the US foolishly persuaded Ukraine to give up the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world at the time back in the 90s while Ukraine and Russia and US/NATO failed to secure Ukraine in the deal. Even if Russia had control of the weapons, they could have perhaps deterred this conflict or been used to negotiate a far better deal. US foreign policy has really been a large part of what has led to this crisis. Russia is to blame as well. Interesting presentation from the General. I look forward to learning more from him as I try to understand this all better.
