False flag Submarines in Sweden

In the 1980s, there were several hundred sightings of unknown submarines in Sweden. The Soviet Union got blamed, and the number of Swedes perceiving the USSR as a threat skyrocketed from 23% to 84%. The incursions were a major embarrassment to the Swedish Social Democrat government under Olof Palme, who had pushed for detente in Europe.

In a later interview, Caspar Weinberger, US Secretary of Defense in the 1980s, freely admitted[1]:

   There was no testing of the Swedish defenses without prior consultation with the Swedes. You are speaking of an agreement.


The Swedish military had kept the vital information of this agreement from its own government - a brilliant false flag psy-ops, where the Swedish government got discredited and the Soviet Union painted as a threat.

A Quote by Caspar Weinberger

PageQuoteDate
The secret war against Sweden“[I]t was very much to Sweden's advantage and very much to NATO's advantage that this was done. [The "Whiskey on the Rocks" showed that] submarines can get in where they are not wanted and that is exactly why we made this defensive testing and these defensive maneuvers to assure that they [the Soviets] would not be able to do that. […] Besides that one intrusion of the Whiskey-class submarine, there were no violations, no capabilities of the Soviets.”2000
