The Nordic states have been some of the biggest winners in the world from globalization over the past 30 years. They've been safely protected by NATO, and free to sell their oil to anyone in the world. Now the world comes knocking and you want to cry foul? Either accept the rough and tumble, multicultural, imperfect world that we live in with open arms as we have in the US, or wall yourself off and don't expect any of the benefits.

Sweden doesn't have any oil to sell. We're also not crying foul about the increase in shootings as if the rest of the world is to blame. There is definitely a problem here in regards to the shootings, but it's also election year and some parties have a bigger interest than others in portraying Sweden as a lawless country.

I don’t understand why participating in global trade and accepting thousands of immigrants who oppose the principles of your society have to go hand to hand.
