Why this option does not fit
Försvara Sverige men överlåta internationella militära insatser till andra
International military operations are also part of the role. Defending Sweden does not exclude activity abroad.
Delta i internationella insatser men överlåta Sveriges försvar till Nato
NATO membership does not remove Sweden’s own responsibility for national defence.
