“And then there was Sweden in WW2...”

- You mean the the nation that;

Warned the Allies of Operation Barbarossa well in advance

Supplied Finland with material resources while fighting the troops of Stalin equal to 25% of Finnish GDP at that time

Flooded Europe with “white buses” in the direct aftermath of WWII

What about today?

“The Swedish Armed Forces has an operational presence in over twenty countries, including Sweden. We work with multinational organizations such as the EU, NATO and UN on peacekeeping and peace bringing tasks around the world.”

In what way do YOU contribute to civilization?

While those things were nice and all, they still stayed out of the fight. And what I read, her Scandinavian neighbors took a long time to forgive them for that.

Not that I don’t understand why they stayed out. Just saying.

“In what way do YOU contribute to civilization?”

Didn’t become a Muslim.

What about supplying Nazi Germany with weapons and materials throughout the war?
