Top Swedish officials and ministers recently made headlines warning of the possibility of Sweden being drawn into a war, a statement that has been puzzling until one considers the potential motives: power and money.

The phrase 'Follow the money', originating from the film 'All the President's Men', can be used to explain the sudden surge of war warnings.

The Swedish government has been informing its citizens of the risks of war for years, but the recent flurry of warnings during a defense conference may be tied to an upcoming major defense decision, involving a significant amount of funding and power.

Some critics argue that these warnings are a ploy to gain more funding and power.

In terms of actual threats, military experts agree that Russia, currently preoccupied with Ukraine, is the primary threat but they lack the resources for other large-scale wars at the moment.
