Sweden became NATO’s newest member on Thursday (7 March 2024), upon depositing its instrument of accession to the North Atlantic Treaty with the Government of the United States in Washington DC. With Sweden’s accession, NATO now counts 32 countries among its members.
Because the US geopolitical goals and actions, while often reprehensible, generally speaking aren’t against Swedish interests, whereas Russia is a much more direct threat to Sweden.
Why does China keep appeasing the US by not sending weapons to support Russia?
So appeasement does sometimes work then.
It’s not appeasement if the party being “appeased” is not opposed to you to begin with.
That’s not what they say about WW2
Now you lost me, surely Hitler was being appeased by the Allies allowing him to do things they would’ve preferred him not to do?
Sweden wouldn’t prefer the USA not repeatedly destroy other countries and commit genocide?
Sure they would, but not as much as Russia doing the same but much closer to Sweden.
So Sweden is appeaseing the USA
Sure then, if you want to call it that. But did it work? Were countries not invaded by the US thanks to Swedish appeasement?
