Let's be honest.
Right.
But Sweden has a very long and important role in Europe.
And for 200 years, they were a neutral party in all conflicts.
Right.
The Swedes let the Germans put supply lines together through Swedish territory in World War II.
That is how steadfast they've been guarding their own neutrality.
They changed all that when the Russians invaded Ukraine, right?
And nothing, I think that there's very few other moves by a single country that I can think of that indicates just how big the geopolitical change has been in Europe other than that.
And this is Sweden coming to us saying we're a like minded northern country, kind of a coalition of the chilling, so to speak.
We should form a mutual security pact for the 21st century because let's face it, we can't trust the Americans anymore.
And we've talked about this many times on the show.
We can have this kind of big picture agreement that the Americans aren't what they used to be and that our relationship is not what it used to be.
But where that becomes real is in all of these really significant files where the government of Canada of the day and right now it's the Carney government.
It could be some other government in the future because this is not going to change tomorrow.
Right.
is going to have to make specific policy decisions that are way more difficult than giving a speech about how the United States has changed.
Right.
And I can see both sides of this.
Absolutely.
