Marcus A Grande

What happens if Sweden is subjected to a serious crisis or attack? How well prepared are we – militarily and civilly? How do shelters, communication, and supply work if society is put under great pressure? And what can we learn from Ukraine, where an entire society has been forced to adapt?

On September 22, we meet Marcus A. Grande, Lieutenant Colonel and strategic analyst at the Defense Staff, Headquarters, with experience from Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Ukraine.

We talk about Sweden's defense and preparedness, about what makes a society resilient, and where the line is drawn between provocation, hybrid warfare, and an actual attack.

And of course about NATO. What does membership mean for Sweden in practice? What do articles 3 and 5 mean – and how much of the responsibility for our security still lies with ourselves?
