Summary
What do you think of Sweden joining the North Atlantic Alliance NATO? 
The last time the Kingdom of Sweden was at war was in 1814. Since then, the country that hosts the Nobel Prize has adopted a policy of neutrality for over two centuries, refusing to take sides in wars or join military alliances of any kind. Through this policy, Sweden has lived in peace and become a welfare state and a major humanitarian power. But on March 7, 2024, two years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Sweden officially joined NATO. By joining this U.S.-led military alliance, the country put an end to its policy of non-alignment. The inhabitants of Gotland, the kingdom's largest island, live some 330 kilometers from Kaliningrad, where part of the Russian fleet is stationed. On the island, opinions and feelings on this historic accession are mixed.
