Why Start a War you are already winning?
Although I would imagine the other side starting it eventually,
once it's weakened even more.

The US has two ships in the Black Sea. The location where the Swedes are sub hunting is nowhere near where Russians subs would be sailing to head south. On top of that the West has the Russians economy in its grip and would not bother with an armed conflict when it can just slowly squeeze the Russians. So you are going to have one very long countdown.

Im not that well informed but isnt the subhunt bad enough on its own?
Its sounds quite severe even if nothing is found? At least it does to me.

Not if you consider how often it happens. No. Even a sub is found it just an embarresment to that subs nation. Certainly not the first time for the Russians.

Well, the war is actually on ... it's going to happen.
Ever since I have been on ATS people have been predicting WW3. It's all a bit tedious and repetitive.
It is not going to happen.
Sweden are miffed because a submarine - which they believe was Russian - was poncing about where it should not have been. It gives the Swedes the opportunity to show off their fancy-looking navy and bark a bit. It also apparently gives some people the opportunity to predict WW3.

I will add my request to the others who posted the same question that you ignored -
Can you link us to your source.
Konashenkov said Russian military officials were anticipating “the culmination of the exciting operation” accompanied by “never-ceasing speculations by the Swedish over detecting a ‘Russian submarine’ in the region of the Stockholm archipelago.”

Thank you for explaining as it was a sincere question!
I agree that this is most likely some muscle flexing of sweden to show they still count too, no?
