Defense Minister Pål Jonson

Sweden’s defense minister warned that Europe must prepare—morally and materially—for the real possibility of a conflict with Russia, saying nations should shift their mindset into “war mode” to deter and defend effectively, in an interview with German outlet RND on October 19.
“We need a change of mentality: we must move into ‘war mode’ to decisively deter the threat, defend and preserve peace. Russia constantly tests our unity and resolve. But Putin will not succeed. The current security situation has sharpened our vigilance,” Defense Minister Pål Jonson said.
He added that roughly 90 percent of Swedes back higher defense spending and want to maintain or expand support for Ukraine.
“Living next to Russia has taught us one thing: peace is not a gift, peace is something we must defend every day,” Jonson said.
Jonson called on European allies to step up military deliveries to Ukraine and to tighten sanctions on Moscow—with a particular focus on the energy sector and the Kremlin’s so-called “shadow fleet.”
He also urged using frozen Russian assets to bankroll defensive investment in Ukraine. “Only then will Putin understand that this war threatens his own grip on power and cannot be won,” he said.
Jonson argued Russia is failing on the battlefield, saying Moscow has paid a heavy price for minimal territorial gains: “Over the past year, more than 300,000 of its soldiers have been killed or wounded to seize less than 0.5% of Ukraine’s territory,” he said.
On deterring incursions, Jonson made clear that Sweden and NATO would respond robustly to violations of allied airspace or waters.
“We are a defensive alliance, that’s true, and our measures are considered and proportionate, but we will always react. Russia must know: if its warship or fighter enters our airspace or waters, we will be forced to expel it, and, if circumstances require, even shoot it down,” he said.
Jonson also painted the Baltic as a hybrid-warfare hotspot, accusing Moscow of a range of destabilizing acts—from undersea sabotage and attacks on seabed infrastructure to a growing shadow fleet that skirts sanctions. He said Sweden and NATO now maintain comprehensive surveillance across the region “from the seabed to the sky,” and credited NATO’s Baltic Sentry mission with reducing the most serious incidents.
Asked about Europe buying US systems for Ukraine rather than sourcing more from European industry, Jonson said the immediate need justified purchases from the US.
“We only buy US systems because they are lifesaving for Ukraine and we do not have comparable stockpiles in Europe,” he said, citing interceptors, Patriot batteries, long-range weapons, and HIMARS as examples. Still, he stressed that bolstering Europe’s defense industrial base remains important for the long run.
Earlier, reports emerged that Sweden was stepping up its support for Ukraine, signaling a readiness to deepen military assistance through key initiatives like PURL and the fighter jet coalition.
For centuries the Russians took more and more land and now it takes nothing except when the Commies controlled it. The old expansion of Russia was probably for balancing the USA with the blessing of the Illuminati, while the new non-expansion is the international policy, matched with the USA’s non-expansion
(Error–Russia, not “the Russians”)
‘… saying nations should shift their mindset into “war mode” to deter and defend effectively.’
Fortunately, the war-mongering nations of the EU are not all the EU member states. Why is Sweden one of them? Whom has post-Communist Russia ever attacked?
As the a greats among our current informers (Macgregor, Wilkinson, Johnson and others) have pointed out, Russia prefers trade to war. Besides, it was Ukraine, not Russia, that kicked off the current war between them.
What ground does Sweden’s Pål Jonson have for urging preparation for war? Does he hope to provoke Russia into a war, bring it to its knees, and steal its vast resources? Wet dreams, those. Surely his time would be more profitably spent at protecting his fellow citizens (most urgently his nation’s female population) from the rampart criminal immigrant element that is making their lives nothing short of precarious.
Compromised and corrupt shit sack Pål Jonson has his priorities all out of wack. Sweden has been invaded by hordes of less-than-worthless nigger and dune coon degenerates taking over cities, raping Swedish girls, and wreaking havoc, yet this bleating stooge screeches on that defending Jewkraine and provoking Russia is the priority rather than his own besieged cuntry.
Jonson should be thrown into the street, stripped naked, his kneecaps and elbows shattered and his teeth bashed out, forced over a garbage can and violently sodomized on both ends by a mob of randy black and brown rapefugees, horsewhipped, coated with tar and feathers, then hanged.
NONE REPRESENTATIVE

AND YOUR CHILDREN

COUNTRIES THAT ARE
NOT YOUR ENEMY,

Educated (indoctrinated) in the US & Britain also at the EU creature, the European University. Just like all the other apparatchik class of EU managers, they don’t buy higher education in their homeland. (look at the Balts, Poland, Finland for identical stories) Is it any wonder they paint themselves up with warwhore paint? Damn right Mr Lobbyist! His govt. also contains FAR RIGHT ministers who are allowed their limos and perks by showing even more rabid Russophobia- same with all other EU zones.
The top shite in the EU have been going on with some relentlessness now about The Russian Threat. Something they need to conjure to hide their own corruption and malice. At the same time, the media gloats that Russia has lost the war and is on the brink of collapse- remember the Kiev Granny shooting down drones with her shotgun, or the Russians not having any chips to fire weapons with and plundering domestic appliances for them? Right.
Whilst Putin has been far too cautious – not bombing the rail supply links from Poland, the life-support system for the Ukie military and their oligarch owners- there has been a truly massive destruction of NEUTRO weapons and a decimation of weapon stocks.This is what the Free Media and Our Rules based politicos won’t ever tell their populace. The Russian Threat is because NEUTRO only has very little left other than nukes, hence buy from Amerika (never mind the quality feel the width)
And buying from America – great deal Don!!!!!- is because the EU has ceased to be a credible manufacturing force in the past 5 years. Some of the reasons: Nordstream sabotage, no reliable or cheap oil or natural gas directly from Russia (but via Ukraine, India, Israel, China etc costly) Green insanity, persistent quota importation of the Turd World yearly in hundreds of thousands, devaluation of the Euro compared to Dollar, BREXIT allowing Britain to go rogue in security matters, a total refusal by the EU-Crats to have an independent foreign policy that is for Europe’s benefit, now the chaos of Trumpian tariff s adding to an out of control debt for all EU zones.
The threat to peace comes not from Russia but from the top shite EU leaders and their pygmies- who have no compunction in destroying their continent nor allowing their Judas Goat media to entice the population to its destruction.
This Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson is the Poster Boy for why Sweden let in in thousands of foreign invaders, not just the fact he’s an incompetent Defense Minister making absurd surmises regarding Russia and NATO.
psyhopathi retards
The commie Jews ruling both NATO & Russia setting the stage for their upcoming Waste Whitey III setup
Ah yes, according to the WEF Rothschild and Rockefeller timetable they now have less than 5 years to usher in their one-world government, and all nations will just have to get into the act once again and carry out their roles just like for the Plandemic, but this time for the mother of all psyops which is to escalate all of their contrived hostilities to DEFCON 1 levels in the “threat” of a WWIII to destroy everything which matters in our lives. Already they are likely planning that in order to give some substance to their orchestrated peril they will have to drop a few nukes here and there, before they can trot onto the world stage their globalist peacemaker teams to make us “safe” from ourselves. All personal rights and powers will be put into a global trust to ensure there are no more wars, and that the ruling ownership class has unfettered control over food production, human production, and psyop production.
As for killing a few million people more in order to end all wars, what difference does it make? Are they not planning to radically cull us down anyway. Did they care about any of the toxic effects of any of their “solutions” to the perils they have orchestrated? Have they not continued to force their heinous mRNA vaccines on the people, despite all of the irrefutable evidence of their toxic effects?
We need a war all right, but not against any nation or people designated by our corrupt leaders and the ruling class. We need a war against them in order to denude them of all of their powers.
Fear mongering.
Russia does not war with Europe.
Not content with sending British troops to Gaza to oversee the ceasefire, Starmer’s government says it’s now ready to spend £100million putting troops into Ukraine to monitor a ceasefire there – knowing full well Putin said Russia will not accept any NATO troops in the country.

Omg… not ANOTHER Jonson!! 🙄
All you bashing idiots here! Its Kalergi through Rothschild who brought you your new neighbours, and then the compromisef politicians gave up on Nato. And then you run with Tommy “payed by Spillman” Robinson! Trolls and clueless.
If there’s anything more ludicrous than the Bwitish Poodle with its pretensions of being a rottweiler..
it HAS to be Euro chihuahuas like Sweden with delusions of being a doberman… 🙄
A comment mentions Tommy Robinson: I note that TR is nearly logical, pursuing one of the two paths we are left with (If Jews can have nationalism, so can we) and only with the reluctance of the Scum, who will make goy nationalism be diluted with multi-racialism and multi-religionism, but do nothing to hurt the myths of Israel. (There is also the path “if we have to have Communism, so do they). A personification of the Jews on this is Ezra Levant
