We're 3x as many as the Russians. There's no need for that, unless we need to have a war for some other reason.

5% is what Sweden needed in the 1980s to defend itself from the whole Soviet Union + Warsaw Pact, without the EU and without NATO.

Never heard of the war between Sweden and Warsaw Pact in the 1980s. Maybe 5% is why it never happened.
