- CRConrad 5y ago> It's about changing the position of a country that has a history of being militarily neutral. It's about changing the position of a country that has a history of craven acquiescence to whoever is the biggest bully in the neighbourhood at the moment; a history of being rather Deutschgesinnt until about 1942-43, and of "always having been on the Allies' side in spirit!" after that. A history of selling iron ore for Krupp guns and allowing trains transporting German soldiers to and from northern Norway/Finland. And after WW2, a record-beating history of painting the holier-than-thou Sverigebilden -- the international image of Sweden -- around the world, and perhaps above all indoctrinating her own population in it. Not really a history to be all that proud of, or worth clinging on to.
