Sweden’s top military commander on Friday handed over to the government a lengthy report detailing a range of proposed reductions to the country’s armed forces.
Defense minister Sten Tolgförs, in a masterful piece of double talk, replied:
Today’s response from the Supreme Commander represents a powerful increase in Sweden’s defence capabilities when it comes to operability and readiness.
All this reminds me of the old question "How do you know when a politician is lying?" and the answer "His lips are moving." I think Sten wins the prize for this week.
