Sweden Triples Defense to 3.5% GDP: NATO’s Nordic Shield or Russia’s Next Target?

Sweden is making waves with a historic military overhaul, announcing plans on March 26, 2025, to boost defense spending to 3.5% of GDP by 2035—nearly tripling its current budget to $40 billion annually. This $30 billion, decade-long buildup, fueled by borrowing, will fund cutting-edge weapons like Gripen jets, submarines, and air defenses, while fortifying the Baltic Sea and aiding Ukraine. As a new NATO member, Sweden aims to deter Russian aggression, especially near its strategic Gotland Island and Arctic borders. But could this bold move spark a mini-arms race among NATO allies like Norway and Finland, or provoke Moscow into hybrid retaliation? Join us as we dive into the risks, rewards, and regional ripple effects of Sweden’s transformation into a Nordic military powerhouse. Will it strengthen NATO’s northeastern flank or escalate tensions with Russia? Hit play to find out! The video uses some clips under the Creative Commons license.
