The Swedes won't be forgiven because they let America bully them? Yup, that's logical.


Yeah, pretty much. Sweden is not poor; it is not uneducated; it is not corrupt; it is not dependent on the USA for economic or military aid; it's full of people who ostensibly understand that sometimes the USA should be opposed; and so on and so forth. They have means, motive, and opportunity to do the right thing at little cost to themselves, and they failed to do so.


> it is not corrupt

Well, time to cross that one out of the list. It might just be a small part so far, but since there's nothing to oppose it, it will spread like a disease.

Quickly or slowly, depending on lots of factors. But with nothing to oppose the spread, it is unlikely to stop.


Sweden has been a close ally of USA ever since the end of WWII. This was necessary due to our location near the USSR.

We might not rely on direct aid but with a small (nowadays) military and an export oriented economy being friends with USA is beneficial.
