Sweden Ranks Second in the World in Per Capita Weapons Exports

Institutions like the Nobel Prize have helped link Swedens international reputation to peace and reconciliation, but few people know Sweden is also one of the worlds top exporters of weapons. Sweden is among the worlds top arms exporters in per capita terms. Its clients include the United States and Britain, with shipments more than doubling since 2000. We speak with two activists in Sweden.

@AustrianAtheist

so true!

[ConsulCrassus]

@stacker911 The soldiers of the United States that act like pigs are the problem. Killing civilians and all. But the reason for attacking Iraq was valid, tyrants that are oppressing people and denying them fundamental human rights ought to be crushed.



[stacker911]

It is a problem. If you sell it to countrys that use it on other people, and not in a defensive way. And no... attacking Iraq is not a defensive way of using weapons. Found any weapons of massdestruction yet? I found one... Us military.. 100k. iraqbodycount. org

Weapon exports are considered a good thing in Asia, America...but in Sweden, Austria stupid politians call it a problem...how absurd!

Sweden should be proud about its arms industry!

Go and hug a tree commie prick.

Oh and feel free to have another piece of the retard cake, its all yours!

[SpisadKoTunga]

@krod73cr Yeah we are there becuse we want to fuck up the Talibans and build up a DEMOCRACY, you seem to like the Taliban rule, try live there for 3 months.

Go ahead and have another peace of the Retard cake dumbass.

[SpisadKoTunga]

@krod73cr I dont care, you can kiss my white, rock hard, soldier ass.

Iam staying until the gouvernment says otherwise

[SpisadKoTunga]

@krod73cr Wow get it through your skull, SWEDEN doesnt get ANY money from this peacekeeping mission, NOTHING.

I do though, i need to get paid for my job dont it?

I would do it for free though.

But its nice to see that you prefer a Taliban rule, no women in the school and all.

Try fighting off 25 Talibans after they just gas attacked a School for girls, try go in to that school and watch 6 dead girls and all they wanted was to LEARN.

IAM making money, SWEDEN doesnt, back to school retard

[SpisadKoTunga]

@krod73cr We have been taking in immigrants since the 70s, still you know NOTHING about my country or its ideaology so go ahead and have another piece of the retard cake :)

We are with the EU and have made a agreement to help out where ever we are needed if we have the resources to do so.

We are losing money on this mission, not earning anything.

What we win is a larger voice in the EU meetings, thats all.

You lived through a war, gratz, bet you didnt fight in it you coward.

Grow a pair of balls
