With This Dirty Tactic Sweden Was Fooled To Apply For NATO Membership | Agnes Hellström

200 years of neutrality upended by a fomented hysteria over "Russia-threat" and a war that should have proofed the opposite. But masses are easy to scare and the tentacles of the NATO lobby reach deep into the hearts and minds of political elites.

In the second segment of Pascal's talk with Agnes Hellström, a prominent Swedish peace activist and writer, the two venture into the social mechanics behind Sweden's (incomplete) bid to join NATO. The political U-Turn of the nordic country has been most remarkable—although it has been in the making for many years.

Agnes served between 2016-2022 as the Chairperson of the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society, the world’s oldest Peace Organisation, founded in 1883.

In that position she spoke out forcefully against sending weapons to Ukraine when the war broke out last year, remaining firmly pacifist. This position earned her a lot—and I mean a lot—of criticism in Swedish media.
