How very . . . neutral of them.
They are a Nato member since march?
And you are allowed to defend yourself! During ww2 Switzerland actively shot down both allied and axis planes that violated its airspace! Both sides even apologized to them on a semi-regular basis, as they often accidentally bombed their border towns
I'm just joking around, you're doing a good thing.
Tell my underwater cable... Hello.
I don't feel strongly, one way or the other
Sweden?, I don't think so!
We’ve never been neutral.

During WWII we were neutral in the sense that we flip-flopped and assisted whichever side seemed to do best. We took in refugees, and we assisted the nazis. We fed Germany iron ore to feed its war machine, and let Germany transport troops to Narvik, Norway, via our railways.
On top of that, we were prominent within BS pseudoscientific fields like racial biology, eugenics, etc. We had plenty of "scientists" who were super into the übermensch aryan BS, the effects of which are felt even today. We got rid of the forced sterilisation of transpeople in 2013.
Sweden never was neutral.
