if america wants small states in nato to spend and pay more for defence, then its reasonable that these are also allowed to have their own nukes. in the peek years in the swedish manhattan project (called "utkad skyddsforskning") we had the capacity to produce 60 nagasaki bombs per year. but all of this was given up in order to eventually join nato.  but should we not be allowed to have our own nuclear programs like france and uk? that is probably the ultimate protection against russian aggression.  and that would mean that less conventional forces would be needed. but that would mean that we would not be total bitches for america anymore.
