The Swedish prime minister has said that his country is neither at war nor at peace as he announced that Sweden would be sending armed forces into the Baltic Sea for the first time as part of increased surveillance efforts amid a spate of suspected sabotage of undersea cables.

The country announced it will contribute up to three warships and a surveillance aircraft to a Nato effort to monitor critical infrastructure and Russia’s “shadow fleet” as the alliance tries to guard against sabotage of underwater infrastructure.

Aw it's you. I love Drag <3 have a nice day.

Of course it should not be true that unlawful combatants are not covered by geneva. I'm saying everybody's trying to wiggle they out of a proper war declaration because it would entail respecting the laws of war.

I'm not Drag, and no, that case you linked proved that they were just doing illegal shit because no one could stop them. Like, it says right in the opening that they violated the law.

A declaration of war means nothing to these circumstances because there's no accountability. You're accusing them of trying to use some loophole fuckery and citing sources that say that powerful people in a completely different country mind you just ignore it when it's convenient.

So you're an imposter?

I was here before Drag and quite frankly I find Drag's sexualization of dragons in poor taste. Everyone knows real dragons, as reptiles, have breeding seasons and limited sexual interaction and interest outside of it.

Bunch of ape-brained nonsense otherwise.
