I think people are voting you down because what you are saying is based on Sweden's "official" line during the Cold War. A lot of new information has been revealed post-1994, that pretty much shows that Sweden was anything but neutral during that period. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_neutrality#The_Cold_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_neutrality#The_Cold_Wa... http://www.thelocal.se/18262/20090317/ http://www.thelocal.se/18262/20090317/

Why would Sweden be neutral during the cold war - putting aside nuance, you're either pro-eastern bloc or not?

  What? Do you have reading skills? The message you are answering to doesn't take a political position, it just says that the previous one has some facts wrong. That said, I don't think you're either pro-eastern bloc or not. There are many political opinions one can have, and many aren't easily divided into pro-eastern bloc or not.

    Nobody showed I had any facts wrong. Sweden has been formally neutral (not part of a defense alliance) for as long as anyone now living has been alive. As my own post said, Sweden has to think, within its general foreign policy framework of neutrality under international law, about who its friends are.
