Why Sweden Is Doomed (Or "Not The Swedish Chef")

by JASmius



So let me see if I've got this all straight: The militantly pacifist (not a pun, I assure you), homofilic Swedes are using a homophobic symbol to deter the homophobic, warmongering Russians from sending submarines into their territorial waters?  And they think that's going to (1) work, (2) not encourage the Russians to wipe Sweden off the map rather than just invade them, and (3) even be noticed on their way into every last Swedish port and coastal facility?

Thor wept:

Recently, Sweden noticed that Russian submarines were getting a little too close for comfort, after they were spotted lurking around an archipelago in the Baltic Sea.

So rather than retaliating with verbal or physical threats....

Which the pacifist Swedes have made sure over the past twenty years to divest themselves of any and all weaponry to back up.

...the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society took a different approach.

For those who are not familiar with Russia’s anti-gay culture, they have been persecuting their LGBT citizens (as well as foreign visitors) with harsh fines and even prison sentences.

Just like the "Muzzies".  Imagine that.  Gee, where is the Lavender Lobby when (and where) they're really needed instead of indulging in fascist oppression against American Christians?

According to the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society, which is in fact the oldest [pacifist] organization in the world:

“The purpose of the "Singing Sailor" is to urge the Swedish government to think in new ways instead of falling back on territorial defense, conscription and rearmament – the world doesn't need more weapons.”

I don't know about "the world," but Sweden by-Odin needs more weapons, and if it still had them, its inhabitants might not be staring down the foul, hungry maw of the Russian bear.  "Thinking in new ways" is what got that country - and the entire, comprehensively disintegrating West - into the escalating, multi-pronged, comprehensive existential crisis in which we all find ourselves.  Because those "new ways" are not new, but as old as Adam and didn't work then or now.

This one does put a new spin on Thor "putting the hammer down," though....
