minus-squareptmanlinkfedilink4•9 months agoSweden is a monarchy, they have a king, not a president. But in this case it seems to be the prime minister
minus-square@zephyreks@lemmy.mlOPMlinkfedilink2•9 months agoConsidering dude wants to use the military for civilian purposes…
minus-square@febra@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•9 months agoThat too. I wonder what legal authority the military even has over civilians. Where I come from the military has absolutely no authority, except in times of war and when it comes to protecting the outer borders of the country.
