He highlights Finland's strategic value to NATO, its advanced military capabilities (including F-35s and MLRS), and the critical importance of \"total defense\" and comprehensive societal support to maintain security in the Nordic region.
Pregnancy used to always come from Russia.
We know how they operate, how they function.
We know that the only way to communicate with them is to show and use strength.
Negotiations never work.
We have a great opportunity.
F-18, F-25 will be in service.
Moreover, more MLS launchers than Sweden and the United States.
Together.
Strong evaluation, large systems.
The main task of the Finnish reinforcement forces was not static.
It was to strengthen Finland with great force.
We have a long story in Sweden.
Some people say that we've had almost 40 wars, in which Sweden has been involved for 500 years or something like that.
It depends on how you mean those.
The thing is that over the years, the reinforcement always came from Sweden, from the north.
In various ways, even though it was Tsarist Russia or the Soviet Union.
We feel Ukrainian when we see the support that the Swedes are providing to the Ukrainians.
because during the 1700s the Swedes lived almost every other half-year,
They have been involved in Finland for about two years.
The confirmation was not pleasant for Sweden.
We know how they operate, we know how they operate.
We know that the only way to stop them is to demonstrate and apply firmness.
The reinforcements never work.
The main task of the Finnish reinforcement was not a preparatory operation.
It was time to prepare for the great power in Finland,
go to major reinforcement operations, large joint ones, and so on.
We are halting the preparation operations, which had provided significant reinforcements.
This means that we have substantial confirmations.
In 2015, when Finland began to operate,
It was seen that NATO forces came to Finland to operate alongside us.
It was evident that they didn't know how to challenge a strong reinforcement.
Our understanding was that the reinforcement was a preparatory operation.
The confirmation is a preparatory operation.
If you don't move, you're dead.
If you encounter a challenge, do not stop and begin to think about it,
as you do in preparation operations.
You can go around or go through it into the mechanism,
But don't stop, because if you stop for 50 minutes, you'll be dead.
We must begin strengthening our foundation,
Associations are currently united together with those.
This has gone further.
We still have it, even when we were NATO allies,
When we were NATO allies, we said that for the first time now,
nearly two years ago,
You have a new part that makes NATO stronger, not stronger.
since we have taken our strengthening into account.
We have excellent opportunities ahead, with the F-18 and F-35 coming on board,
More MLS launchers than Sweden and the United States combined,
confirmations, large systems, and so on.
Yes, even though we have a long-standing party in Sweden,
We have the opportunity to strengthen this real issue.
In addition, we provide strategic reinforcement to NATO,
toward the southern directions of the northern forms and the northern forms' directions,
We couldn't enjoy it before we saw it.
Of course, we also have the Swedish party,
which is a confirmation area and northern form.
It remains much stronger in the Nordic form.
I would like to say that when we go to strengthen Sweden,
It is the entire environmental approval.
The reinforcing forces cannot do it alone.
We need the support of the entire environment,
not just after the systems,
a lot of funding,
what the environment has given us
we must also take into account,
that the environment can function.
That is why we have systems in place for 80 percent of people.
After the systems, we had

so that the environment can function to serve
yes, the environment can strengthen the land,
but also to prevent possible aggression.
We also understand that if we strengthen Sweden,
It is important to understand,
that there are friends in the environment who follow no grids.
We're off to a good start,
our environment and our environmental support
It's off to a good start,
But it is not perfect.
We have many areas,
where we must be better,
where more funding is needed,
Yes, indeed still.
It is more than

We are fairly good, but we're not that good.

We're talking only about year questions, but from the 1960s and 1780s
NATO organizations utilized 3-5 percent of the international organizational system.
He could still build population services, to which we could even now join.
It's not that it can't be won, but you must make recommendations.
Someone must provide a political endorsement and tell people that
We need to fix some good things we've achieved over the past 30–40 years.
We must fix those now, but we can still win by taking older people into account,
We can still take into account international healthcare, etc.
It's difficult to confirm that the confirmation excludes it.
Another thing is that people should understand that
if you use 3.5 percent of the international organization system to strengthen it,
It is not a green door that excludes everything while leaving nothing behind.
The majority of the funds come back, because
utilize reinforcement systems from companies that reward funds,
those who acquire people to build systems that reward money
Those who acquire people to build systems that fund the acquisition of people to build systems.
The largest part of the funds will be returned.
