i might be mistaking my history here, but wasn't it sweden that stayed neutral during world war 2, or was it switzerland, anyway it's a joke over here that they were cowards for doing so, much like how we joke about france switching sides half-way through both wars.
i don't actually believe that just thought you might be refferring to that

Both remained neutral, technically. Although not all Swedes approved of Germany marching through Sweden to invade Norway.

thats what it was, they just let them by, without posing a threat
they werre all like
"bonjour we are sweden, ve have baggets and zwe spench francois, with are zilly muostaches"
and have crappy furniture

Either you just tried a joke and failed, or you simply failed. As for when you arrived at the furniture point, you failed more.

Sweden remained neutral because Sweden has been in a shitload of wars in the past. We have battle God damn half Europe. We conquered Scandinavia and Finland. We also lost it all. More wars was not really the most intriguing idea for Sweden. We have been in wars for centuries.

so has the rest of the world, sweden is no different, the fact was when they were really needed to step in and say
"hey, wtf you can't march thorugh here" they didn't
and the sweden is france joke doesn't translate well into online forums i geuss

What could Sweden possibly have gained from the war anyway?

"Lets anger the Germans. They have no quarrels with us, they have greater military forces and they have allied. Lets just stand in their way, get our people slaughtered and hope that we stalled them long enough for Norway to mobilize just a little more"

As for the joke: It does not translate well for anyone that life in Sweden or France. It is a bad joke.

geuss it's only good when NPH says it
and nobody really gains anything from war, but still, ball up

Quite narrowminded statement. A lot of people gain from war. A lot of people lose from war, but that does not mean that a lot of people does not gain from war.

Let me explain this carefully for you: Germany wanted Norway. Germany crushed Denmark. Sweden had no quarrel with Germany. Sweden stood between two choices: Fight Germany, or let them pass. The consequences of respective choices were: Lose a lot of people in a war you had nothing to gain from and everything to lose in, against a foe that could beat you and would OR stay out of their way and spare the lives of the Swedish people and stay on the good side with the at the date greatest force in Europe.

You were joking at first, but I have a feeling that you now actually feel that Sweden were cowards for not standing against Germany. Let me ask you these two questions:

1. What is cowardice?

2. Is it cowardice to have the choice to spare your country from a war that has plagued half Europe and bring more suffering and death to your people than the war already indirectly has caused and take it? Is it really cowardice to stay out of the way of a nation you know will crush you like it did your equally strong neighbor.

i will answer the first question, but i wasn't so much joking this whole time as i was talking outa my sphinter-hole to get you all riled up like this.
1. a coward is somebody who when needed, runs away or stand idle and watches

I have also seen it done and this is nowhere NEAR that level. In fact, the things in this thread can not even be considered hostile. Venomancer at one point in the other thread told me that my existence in this world was useless, along with a shitload of other highly rude stuff and Ush barely even shrugged at it.

Trust me, this thread is in no danger.

You said Sweden were cowards and your definition of coward was to not help when needed.

1. I know.

2. I do not care.

It is the internet. Everybody hides for the duration they do not open up. Venomancer among many other hides a lot.

I was messing with you the whole time, at least as much as you were with me. How was that not clear?

Far from it. Because they did not stand against Germany, they through a diplomatic meeting ended up trading with them and it benefited Sweden more than any other option. Sweden were strategical. Always has been.

For a long time we were a superpower, which was not attained through cowardice.

not they made crappy ikea furniture and don't even have a space program...how sad
