Why another defense deal with the US, when Sweden just joined NATO?
Because this deal gives US access to military based starting now. And can place soldiers there.
Just because Sweden is in NATO doesn’t mean other NATO countries can place soldiers in Sweden during peacetime
Germany and other countries have soldiers stationed in Lithuania on a NATO initiative. Where‘s the difference?
It’s all done on a case-by-case basis. Joining NATO isn’t like Civ’s “your armies can travel in my territories” negotiation perk that applies to all of NATO. It needs to be a bilateral agreement. NATO is a mutual defense alliance, but it is absolutely not intended to undermine any member’s sovereignty.
