Sweden’s “leader”… so their president? The title makes it sound like it’s North Korea

Sweden is a monarchy, they have a king, not a president. But in this case it seems to be the prime minister

Considering dude wants to use the military for civilian purposes...

That 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.
