    I know some people who served on Gotland. I know for a fact that it was leased. Twice. The lease was renewed partly because of the US Navy having the problems they had. However, the exercise was never about Swedish submarines.

    It was all about Chinese submarines.

    Edit: “as Sweden is a part of NATO”… You’re kidding, right? NATO is not letting us to become a member. Our application has been blocked by Turkey for like a year now.

      Ok, I have no information of the leasing thing, which I don’t doubt but I do doubt it was leased for the war game. Probably just for other testing if I had to guess.

      Sweden is a NATO partner nation. While not a full member, they participate in NATO war games and other activities. It’s stupid that fill membership is blocked though.

      Maybe you can ask the swedish gangs for some of their grenades when a real war happens.

      But you’re too busy supporting Russia and jacking off to pictures of a useless boat.

      You’re not in NATO because you can’t be trusted yet–too compromised by Russian chaos agents, blonde terrorists, and stupidity.
