When it comes to hybrid warfare/conventional military capability Russia is viewed as the only potential aggressor. I think that goes for the anti-immigration party as well. Sweden does not expect to be invaded by Finland, NATO (not even Denmark ) or battalions of ISIS or Taliban Fighters...

Personally I think there are plenty of what-if scenarios involving Russia than could be made – and they wouldn't be all that far fetched.

With regard to EU right wing parties, those of Sweden as well, even as we may describe them as anti-immigration, what we, those living in America are beginning to realize is that Russia is acting to destabilize the republic and this view is gaining appreciation when we look across the Atlantic at France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden. That EU right wing groups share an animus for the EU and they do agitate against their government policy that rocks the fundamental notion of a democracy. It could very well be a page from the Cold War novels of John le Carre (a Brit no doubt) to weaken the EU and NATO.

So, it may not be that the EU right wing is pro Russian but rather they are handled by Russian operatives.
