@EUcomicartist , well, what's the problem? You have all the technology, you have all the resources. Just make the bomb & became the nuclear power for themselves; for Sweden, the long-standing neutral nation, this would not cause any significant political problems. You have decent submarine navy & air force, you produce cruise missiles, so the delivery systems would not be a problem.
Frankly, arm race is the much more efficient way to avoid the war, than any pacifist declaration; if your military capabilities are constantly changing, it is very hard for potential opponent to correctly estimate them.
