@Dilandu The opposition to acquiring nuclear weapons would create a lot of unrest in Sweden & neighboring countries as well, Northern Europe (by which I mean Fenno-Scandinavia and Baltic countries) has remained free of nuclear weapons for a long time with Denmark and Norway having refused to allow nukes on their soil during peace time, Finland having advocated nuke-free Nordic since 1963 & Sweden having advocated expanding the nuke-free zone to cover all of Baltic sea, Russia of course has not removed their nukes from Kola peninsula (that I know of) though those should be mostly submarine-launched ICBMs, if Sweden were to acquire nukes Russia would bring shorter-range nuclear-tipped missiles into Karelia (not sure if they already have nukes stationed in Kaliningrad, but after Swedish nuclear proliferation they certainly would) which would put a lot of pressure on Finland to acquire a missile defense system, which would definitely anger Russia.

So no, Sweden should *not* acquire nukes.
