Several Swedish lawmakers said Friday they will boycott this year’s Nobel Prize ceremonies after the private foundation that administers the prestigious awards changed its policy and invited Russia, Belarus and Iran who had previously been barred from attending.

    Pay attention, these are the countries, the corporations, and the people who worked with the Nazis while they were incinerating Jews, you know … to try to get them on side. Cowards, and villains, all.

      Just to be clear, Sweden harbored Jews during WWII and is the main reason why occupied Denmark had a much lower rate of killed than other occupied countries.

          We armed and trained the Norwegian resistance, and fought the nazis in Norway while harboring their king in a Swedish safehouse. Once control of the country was achieved the Norwegian king was swiftly returned to power. Basically every allied ship and base was equipped with swedish bofors anti air guns. During the early war while the soviets and hitler were allies, volunteers from the swedish military assisted the fins during the winter war while massive donations of military hardware was delivered. Totaling about 50 million bullets, 135.000 rifles, 800 machineguns, 144 field guns, 100 anti-aircraft guns, 92 anti-tank guns, wit in total 30.000 shells, 17 fighters, 6 bombers.

          To top it all off, we were also a safeheaven for Danish and norwegian Jews that ran from the Germans. We hid and protected almost every jew in entire Denmark, and about half of all the Jews in Norway.

          But yes, continue lecturing us about how wrong you are.

          Everyone involved is either over 100 or dead. Time to solve problems in front of us.
