- croon 10y agoIf it's not in the interest of your population, then yes.
- henrikschroder 10y agoThe cablegate diplomatic leaks showed that the relationship between the US government and the Swedish government - regardless of which block is in power - is basically that the US says "Jump!" and the Swedish government asks "How high?". Zero pushback. There's a huge difference between respecting a larger country and aiming for amicable relations vs. being a complete doormat.
