Efter 200 år av alliansfrihet har nu Sverige gått in i en ny säkerhetspolitisk era när vi går med i försvarsalliansen Nato, och omfattas av artikel 5 om ömsesidiga försvarsgarantier.
En historisk dag för Sverige.

Det är en följd av Rysslands fullskaliga invasion av Ukraina den 24 Februari 2022 som skakade om Europa på ett sett som inte skådats sedan andra världskriget.

Jag säger som Gert en gång sade: Äntligen !!
Och som Truman sa 4:e April 1949 vid NATOs skapande
"In taking steps to prevent aggression against our own peoples, we have no purpose of aggression against other peoples. To suggest the contrary is to slander our institutions and defame our ideals and our aspirations.
There are those who claim that this treaty is an aggressive act on the part of the nations which ring the North Atlantic.
That is absolutely untrue.
The pact will be a positive, not a negative, influence for peace, and its influence will be felt not only in the area it specifically covers but throughout the world. Its conclusion does not mean a narrowing of the interests of its members. Under my authority and instructions, the Secretary of State has recently made it perfectly clear that the adherence of the United States to this pact does not signify a lessening of American concern for the security and welfare of other areas of the world, such as the Near East. The step we are taking today should serve to reassure peace-loving peoples everywhere and pave the way for the worldwide stability and peaceful development which we all seek."
