Beware the nice ones...
Yeah, it's a fact. Sweden not only have a nuclear program during Cold War (frankly, who haven't?), but also toyed with the possibility of pre-emptive nuclear attack on USSR (!), in case they suspect that USSR is preparing for invasion. The RB-330 supersonic cruise missile was supposed to be a long-range first-strike weapon, for the single purpose of blasting the Baltic States ports thus disrupting the invasion efforts (and, also, several hudnred thousands of Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians, by the way...) Eventually the project was scrapped, while Sweden military realised, that while they might just be able to hold off USSR by the nuclear deterrence, they definitely should not start the exchange themselves.

Aww, I like it when Russia smiles here, it looks really genuine. See, he's not a bad guy, he just needs someone to like him. I doubt it's funny when people around you are afraid of you and think you're going to invade them even though you really don't want to. I guess that's a possible side effect of being big and powerful.

Canada actually doesn’t have nuclear forces, wich is almost unique for a nation that had an important army that participated to ww2. But we participated to Corea War and had some Americans missiles on our territory, until we rejected them and told the us to “fuck themself”. In exchange we defeated the Soviets at hockey during the Olympics.

How come Russia!s hat changes color and gets fluffier in the second panel, but turns another different color and goes back to the first panel’s design in the third panel?

The US knew this and had deviced a counter: Nuking all Danish straits until it was impossible to sail through them.
In case of WW3, Denmark would not only have ceased to exists as a country and a people, it would have ceased to exist as a geographical features.
