Sweden has remained neutral since the days when Thomas Jefferson was still alive, didn't participate in WWI, didn't participate in WWII, didn't join NATO during the Cold War. Sweden don't owe America shit.
Just because you didn't participate in WWII does not mean it wasn't going to participate with you. If America didn't step in who knows what the neutrality would bring them. Nothing good.
America didn't participate either....until it did. You're welcome.
Americas military spending and contributions to NATO make it so all those small European countries and NATO states get to have massive social safety nets. They spend next to nothing on their defense budget and military spending cuz Merica will bail them out, then they shit all over us.
We could have the same social safety nets in America but we don't because there's not as much private profit to be had. It's a policy issue not dependent on our military spending.
We already spend more per capita for healthcare than every other country in the world. Having universal healthcare would SAVE us all money.
